Not sure what was wrong with Lewis' jaw? Had a great chin - even George Chuvalho couldn't have taken 2 2 shots that dropped Lewis ;)

I'm neither a fan of Lewis nor Tyson, though I enjoyed watching many of their fights. So I feel I have an unbiased opinion.

A prime, motivated Lewis would be hard for Tyson to beat, IMO. I stress motivated, because it was a well known fact that Lewis was prone to come in at less than 100% mentally. An unfocused Lewis would be victimized by a Tyson bomb sooner or later, and it'd be nighty-night Lennox. Tyson was definitely better and stronger than either Rahman or McCall, and look at what happened when Lennox came unprepared for both of them.

On the other hand, Lennox had too many physical advantages over Tyson. Taller, bigger....... and with a HUGE punch. Prime Tyson could bob and weave, yes... but eventually he'd have to come inside of Lewis' range, and it'd be bombs away. A focused Lewis would've done a Buster Douglas on Mike, IMO.

Rahman couldnt even knock out Ruiz,or Marion Wilson,who incidentilly took McCall to a decision as well
Heck Rahman gave up over 10 pounds in both of his fights with Lewis

yes rahman is and was the bum that koed lewis.
before anyone says it , atleast douglas had good skills. but he is still a bum ;D

That punch from Rahman would've dropped any heavyweight in history imo

At the end of the day,Lewis went down to shots by two light hitting undersized heavys
Not barrages,but 1 shot,lights out
Tyson specialized in those,it gets even worse when you add in his ability to barrage
So it still comes down to,can Lewis make the fight go long,or could Tyson take his punchers chance in there

Lewis had his mouth open he was heavy breathing were'nt in shape and always carried his left to low

Tyson in his prime had no problem knocking out taller fighters. Weren't all fighters taller than him? :P Tyson beat taller and faster punchers. I somehow consider Lewis a bit slow and tires after a few rounds just like he did against Klitschko and add to that a glass jaw and you have Tyson winning by KO.

If your basing it on one of Lewis worst performances against Vitali then your totally missing the picture Lewis has never really had stamina problems that i can remember.

How many Lewis fights have you watched for him to be glass jawed he took the best Mason had to offer who had something like 35 wins 32 kos he took Ray Mercer's best Vitalis best and Frank Brunos best if he had glass jaw he wouldn't of made it past these fights.

Tyson also had great challenges out there with way taller boxers who he went through them with ease for a KO or a convincing decision. Mason has a good record but with not quite a convincing opposition, never leaving his country to look for bigger challenges.

Still Mason could bang and he hit Lewis flush quite a few times only good tall fighter Tyson fought in there prime was Tucker and he gave Tyson some troubles i think Lewis would do better than Tucker did.
