you could use the same exscuse for tyson getting beat of buster douglas and tyson said that after that defeat he only ever fought for the money,but i dont think anyone could of done anything with tyson when he was in his prime.Look at when tyson fought bonecrusher,tucker,razzor ruddock,bruno,gilota,holmes,green,tillis,ribalta ect all similar fighters to lewis he,tyson,managed them all quite well weather it went the distance or not and it also showed that tyson in his day was very capable in going 12 rounds and not just crumbbling after 4, eg the tucker fight and the 2nd ruddock fight also berbick was a lewis type fighter obviously not as good and just look at the distruction of him.AWSOME.lewis no chance.
Lewis would always have a chance, but otherwise I completely agree with you. Tyson could very well defeat Lewis prime for prime.
