Tyson will win
I said i wouldn't comment on this thread but i got lured in Lewis beat Tua easily he dominated Tua so i don't understand what your trying to get at we might aswell say Tillis is no Lewis either actually Tillis couldn't carry Lewis's jockstrap Tillis was a journeyman but he gave Tyson all he could handle going the distance Lewis on his best day would beat Tyson.Quote:

If Tyson could get to him early he would stop Lewis imo, BUT If he couldnt stop him in 6 rounds he would get stopped himself in 10 or so.
I totally agree, you just convinced me with that comment right there!Quote:

ICB you know as well as I do just because Tyson struggles with a fighter like Tillis does not mean he would loose against Lewis. Lennox struggled with Bruno and Tyson did not. The fight with Tillis, Rooney did say Tyson was recovering from an ear infection. Tyson would put Lewis on his back foot throughout the fight and because Lewis had a suspect chin he would try and protect it and loose a decision.
And just because Lewis dominated Tua that means Tyson would beat Lewis ??Quote:

Fighters that give Tyson trouble are rangy fighters with a good jab Tillis was able to stay away from Tyson and give him alot of trouble especially with those body shots and the movement and just to let you know Tillis had a even weaker chin than Lewis 22 of Tillis's losses were by ko or tko and he was also stopped twice in the first round.
My response about Tua was to someone else who said that just because Lewis beat Tua he would beat Tyson, and I responded that Tua is not Tyson.
Tyson did not make the excuse, Rooney gave it as a reason for the poor showing.
Nice for you to acknowledge that Lennox had a weak chin which is the reason why he would be on his back foot and probably have done a Bonecrusher and held all night until the last 30 seconds to fire his bombs. That was also the reason why he fought cautiously.
I didn't say Lewis had weak chin i said Tillis had a far weaker one Lewis's chin may of not been granite but he could take his whacks aswell and Bonecrusher ?? he was nothing more than a journeyman with a big punch his boxing skills were below average and that showed getting outboxed by Marvis Frazier and losing every round to Bruno before he got a lucky punch in the final round no way would Lewis fight anywhere near the same way Bonecrusher did.Quote:

and do not say Lewis was taking his time because he wanted to punish him, it would not be true.Quote:

I have to believe it is true. Lennox could have finished Tyson off at anytime in that fight after the 4th....Even Tyson himself said he was hurt in the early part of the fight and could not recover..Lennox knew that as well...Lewis wanted to make a statement.Quote:
