Prime Tyson VS Prime Lewis

[Boxing Game Maker]

Could a prime Iron Mike Tyson have beat a Prime Monster in Lewis it truly would have been a battle of brawler vs boxer. Who do you think would have won?

[ROCKY MARSHMELLOW]

Well in his prime Tyson struggled with tall fighters like Green, Smith, and Tucker and Douglas... and about a year ago I would of said Tyson wins because I am a huge Tyson fan but after looking back over Lewis's career I can only see one winner and its Lewis. Ive learnt to admit it. LOL

People hate Lewis, so there will be more people saying Tyson would of KOED him, but if you look at the facts, Tyson in his prime never even came close to knocking down Green, smith, and Tucker, and Lewis in his prime was 10 times better than all of them and had the 1 punch KO power like Tyson.

Ive stuck up for Tyson since I was about 8 yrs old, he is what got me into boxing but I think Lewis knew he had Tyson's number all along, abit like Holyfield did !!

The size difference too is a major factor, Tyson had fought big tall men before but Lewis just wasn't tall in his prime, he was a 18 stone monster who could move round the ring just as good as any boxer I have seen, check the footwork out on the Tua, Tyson, Holyfield, and Rahman 2 fight, they don't get near him and all look frustrated at the end of the rounds with their corner man saying get inside, and Tyson and Tua I both heard say, I cant !!

Lewis too big too strong and too good !!

Tyson in 4. Lewis didnt have a chin at all. Tyson had fought big fighters in his prime be4. Tony Tucker and bonecrusher smith were both 6-5 and he walked through both of them.

When did Tyson walk through Tucker and Smith

Tyson against Smith was a dull fight and neither one did anything great in it !!

Tucker could of went for it abit more I think but never had the balls to back Tyson up, but Tyson never even came close to knocking him down never mind knocking him out.

Have you actually watched these fights

Yeah, definately I would say Tyson just needs to even touch Lennoxs chin it was THAT bad

Sure, Tyson didnt knock him out in there fight

Neither did Tua
Neither did Ruddock
Neither did Bruno
Neither did Grant
Neither did Golota
Neither did Klitschko

But heck, in fights when Lennox wasnt at his best he got fucked royally by lucky punches. A total of 2 friggin times! Can you believe that!! The guy has no chin and gets boned twice in like 15 years

So yeah, you obviously know your boxing good to see you on this forum we really need more guys like you

HAha thanks. My point is that if lewis can get stopped by rahman and mcall, tyson can stop him.

I have a dvd of the smith and tucker fights.

Yes. Lewis is too slow. Blow-for-blow Tyson wins and all Tyson needed to beat Lewis was more speed.

Well we can say that if the likes of Buster Douglas can totally out box Tyson and KO him to fuck, Â and Holyfield can out box Tyson and KO him to fuck, Â then surely Lewis could of !!

And dont say Tyson wasn't in his prime when he fought Buster Douglas or Holyfield, Â cos then I would say, Â when Lewis fought MCcall no way was he in his prime, Â and Rahman I dont think he was in his prime then, Â after the Rahman fight you seen Lewis on a mission and the performance he put in the Rahman rematch was nothing short of amazing !!

Tyson got KOED 4 times in his career, by 4 different people  would of been 5 if he would of carried on fighting in the Holyfield fight,  so why not make out he had a weak chin

[ROCKY MARSHMELLOW]

As for Lewis not having a good chin, you can think that, but I have seen him take punches off Tyson, Holyfield, Mercer, Tua, Ruddock, Grant, all of them considered as the heaviest hitters around at the time and they didn't knock him out !!

The MCcall stoppage I thought was awful, he was up at 7, imagine if they would of stopped Holyfield when he got knocked down against Bowe in their first fight in round 10, Holyfield was in alot worse shape than what Lewis was, Lewis complained like fuck after that stoppage !!

The Rahman fight, was Lewis being lazy and thinking he could just show up and win, and he got hit off a punch that I truthfully think would of KOED most Heavyweights and it was how he went down that did the most damage !!

Well we can say that if the likes of Buster Douglas can totally out box Tyson and KO him to f***, Â and Holyfield can out box Tyson and KO him to f***, Â then surely Lewis could of !!

They both fought a lot of the same bums.

Tyson was never stopped by a single punch like lewis was TWICE. Tyson was always stopped by dozens of punches in a row like douglas,lewis, holyfield, williams.

Yeah, but if you watch alot of Lewis's fights, he took many of big punches and fired back off the likes of Tua, mercer, Holyfield the 1 punch off Rahman that Koed him, I dont count the MCcall one, Lewis was up at 7 and was able to continue ... you think different, look at some of the best fights ever and some of the state of some boxers when they had been knocked down and were left to carry on, it was for the heavyweight title for fuck sake. Lewis was not given the chance, But there is no way that anyone can say he was not up and complaining, if that exact knockdown happened in the first Lewis-Holyfield fight, just say if Lewis knocked him down, Holyfield would of got a chance to carry on, its just that Lewis was and is not a popular boxer, and only the real boxing fans will respect what lewis did and what he was. The others, well they are irrelvent !!

Just because the brainless boxing fan that is used to watching Tyson KO some bum in 1 round and get a big hard on, and I have been one of them !!LOL well Ive got news for you lot, in the real world, it dont happen like that !!

I agree. Kevin Rooney said that when Mike was younger, he would see him get hammered sometimes in sparring sessions but would walk through it. The Rahman KO of Lennox almost looked fake. Lennox was backing up, and it looked like he was grinning and smiling arrogantly; Rahman sneaks in a big overhand punch on him; Lewis falls back, hits his head on the ropes, and never gets up.
