ESPN just had the Tyson-Douglas fight on - again - last week or so, and I watched this time to compare Douglas and Lewis.
I thought that even though Douglas could be proud of his resiliance and ability to catch Tyson often - what I was looking for in him (someone who was fighting with Lewis' skill and grace) just wasn't there.
He done good but of course folks will be quick to remind us of the Japanese ladies and the partying on Tyson's part.
Obviously a prime and prepared Tyson has excellent chances against absolutely anybody. He had great defense, was not just the swarm-puncher 1st round ko (hey that sounds familiar) artist which he also certainly was.
A wide-awake, mentally and physically prepared Lewis, barring a "lucky" (hard to call it lucky considering it's Tyson but I'll let it ride) punch - Lewis navigates through the first four rounds, then begins to dictate and wears him out, KO late or comfortable UD.
