Maybe Ive missed much of the thread...but how would Lewis stop PRIME Tyson??
Nobody else could...Im intrigued as to how this would have been done!
Because Tysons opponents were either fat or just out of rehab or natural Lightheavyweights or old and past it or untested prospects.

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
A peak Tyson would beat any heavywight in history .he would have beat Lewis inside 5 rounds ,when they was kids Tyson sparked him out in sparring FACT

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Get a grip, Lewis got beat with two lucky punches, he took the fights lightly and avenged the losses, he woz never really rocker bar these two punches. Tyson got hurt bad in his carrer.. END OF. same level of oppenents.

Well you would think that your another one of these Tyson fans that make excuses for him anytime he struggles or loses and actually Lewis beat Tyson when they sparred and your bringing up sparring stories into this debate what about Greg Page flooring Tyson ?? sparring means nothing.

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Ice i know he is'nt unbeatable because he has 6 defeats and yes lewis got caught by 2 lucky punches i would'nt say the Rahman one was that lucky he'd caught got just before he backed upto ropes.But my main point is neither McCall or Rahman were a patch on a prime in shape Tyson.

I have seen every single Tyson fight (i have them on dvd), i admit they were exciting but this is only because he was beating the crap out of bums.

Bollocks would he beat a PRIME Tyson comfortably. Maybe, Ice Cold should keep looking for some real debate!! ;) ;D
It took Lewis how many rounds to whip on a shell?! The '88 model Tyson was not willing to be whipped. He was perpetual motion, and his defence was equally his strength. Tyson would overwhelm him or at leas hit the jaw that lesser opponents were able to stop him with... ;)
When people debate about this subject they always say oh look how long it took Lewis firstly it was one sided beating who cares secondly he hurt his right hand and couldn't throw it for a couple of rounds they say that in documentary and lesser opponents gave Tyson trouble even in his prime Tillis for crying out loud who was only a journeyman and Tucker who was only decent i mean come on when people say about Tysons superb defense it makes me laugh it honestly does Tyson used to get hit as he was rushing in and if his opponents wern't so scared they would of took advantage of it.
This thread is about PRIME against PRIME. It took Lewis a long time to beat a shell. Tyson of a decade earlier would not fight like that. He would persist and hunt and take the rounds. Ofcourse Tyson had issues with rangy fighters. But he always beat them. Tillis was an early opponent. Tucker was more than a journeyman and was beaten easily by Tyson...
Tucker is a clear example of how PRIME Tyson would beat Lewis actually.

I didn't say they were but Lewis took them lightly he wouldn't take a prime Tyson lightly because he would realize the danger.

It is ?? i would think Tucker done the blueprint on how to beat Tyson he took rounds he just didn't do enough probably because fear was involved but Lewis was never scared when he entered the ring Tillis was a journeyman and forgetting the lucky punches Lewis got caught with this wasn't luck Tillis gave Tyson alot of trouble and Tyson won the title the same year Tyson said himself the knockdown saved him.

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Lewis was never scared he was mate otherwise why would Frank Maloney say he always fights better when he's scared he was always more urgent when he fought scared e.g Golota,Grant second Rahman fight even Ruddock

Tyson lost against Douglas because he didnt train
He lost against Holyfield because he had 3 years rust
Thereafter he wasnt the same....
Lewis would be mauled by an '88 version of Tyson....

Tyson didn't have rust he cleaned out most of the division before he fought Holyfield if Holyfield would of lost people wouldn't be saying anything about Tyson being shot fact of matter is Holyfield would beat any version of Tyson and so would Lewis forgetting this bs about Tyson didn't train he would struggle against that version of Douglas prime or no prime that was first opponent that didn't fight scared and won he used jab to good affect and stayed away perfect style to beat Tyson only mistake he made was when he got stupid in 8th and left himself open other than that almost perfect fight for Douglas.

Lewis was not scared for good reason...
Tucker fought in Tysons prime. Lewis faced a shell. We are talking prime on prime!!
Lewis' show against Tyson will mean nothing to anyone...sensible...

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Tyson did'nt train for Douglas had already beat him in 8th really and fact Tyson was on a lithium based drug for manic depression and at the time he were even a manic depressive lithium subdues you look how he walks about before the fight
-
Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Again when did i bring up about Lewis performance against Tyson ?? other people are bringing it up about how long it took Lewis to beat him Tucker wasn't much different when he faced Lewis that was one of Tuckers best performances but yet he got dropped twice something that Tyson couldn't do even if Tucker was slighty past it arguably that was one of Tuckers best performances.

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Shit! 13 mutha' facking pgs. of this.... :)
Look I won't say who I think would win but I would like to add 1 comment.
Why on earth did it take Lennox 8 rds. to beat an old and out of shape Tyson?
I've always asked why 8 rds?
Mike shouldn't have heard the bell to start the 3rd. IMO

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
Tyson woulda won, woulda been a good fight though. Much more competitive than the beating Lewis put on an old man!

Re: Who wins prime Lewis v prime Tyson?
holy shit :o this was on page 7 last time i checked :D
some good debate going on here :)
...okey-dokey first off, lets discuss this post prison tyson(the one holy beat) shall we!
tyson was inactive for 4 years(thats longer than alis exsile) and he fought a total of 8 rds in 4 fights leading up to holyfield and he fought bums that were shit scared. he won all off those fights by scaring his opponents out of there titles, he didnt have to fight for them he simply won them off his mistiuqe.
he was simple not ready for holyfield and took the old warrior lightly to say the least. secondly it was not the tyson off old, if you watch all his fights he became a head-hunter since 89 when he left rooney. he thought his myth was enough to win(hence to douglas ass whoopin).
the tyson from pre-88 would have destroyed douglas by KO and holy by UD.
....tyson- lewis always makes for a great debate and i like tyson in this won by UD ;)

Well you would think that your another one of these Tyson fans that make excuses for him anytime he struggles or loses and actually Lewis beat Tyson when they sparred and your bringing up sparring stories into this debate what about Greg Page flooring Tyson ?? sparring means nothing.
its the other way around bro. tyson beat lewis in sparring as amatures up in the catskills according to steve lott(very reliable source) and lewis's exact words "man i hope i dont meet this guy in the pros,hes an animal" lucky for lewis he met him in 2002 ay.
and correct me if im wrong but did you mention some thing about blood green giving tyson problems? if so i should point out that tyson won 9 out of the 10 rds and clearly controlled the fight.
and as for tillis it may not of been tysons better performances but he still won as u would say "a win is a win" and he won by UD not SD and one judge gave tyson 8-2 so tillis did ok he was a very good journy-man at the time but tyson was never in serious danger of losing plus he was inexperienced in going the distance. you'll notice mid-fight tyson stopped throwing punches cause he was worried about his stamina of going full ten rds cause he never been the distance before

OK - I am on the Tyson side for this debate - but reports I read said that after Tyson's initial swing fest that Lewis was getting the better of him in sparring - not that it means anything :-\

Isn't Lewis older than Mike by a year? Or at least the same age.
