prime tyson vs prime lewis

[BIG H]

Many people bring in McCall and Douglas into this equation, but the reality is neither Lewis or Tyson took these fights as serious as they would have if they fought each other. This being said, Lewis would have gave up some earlier rounds, but would have figured out the one dimentional fighter in the end. Basically same result as their actual fight only 1 or 2 rounds longer.

Was prime Tyson one dimensional

Just illustrates my point that everybody thinks of the Tyson he became and not the fighter he was.

I do think he was a one dimentional fighter in his prime as well. I stongly feel that the quality of his opponents was not as great as most people think, until he ran into Evander and Lennox. Some of the names were popular at the time... They were not at or near their primes. (eg. Larry Holmes)

Goes back to the argument about who did he duck between 86-89 (nobody) he fought tthe best there was, now that wasn't a great bunch of fighters, but was as good as the fighters that Louis, Dempsey, Marciano or most other "Great" Heavyweights fought. Can't blame a fighter because they stand out as being so much better than the rest of their era, that's what made them stand out and made the others look ordinary!
