That was how good Tyson was.
You are right to point out pre 1990 that he did not struggle to beat the bigger physical fighters. But he clearly had periods of frustration against Tillis, Green, Ribalta, Smith and Tucker, as all five used their size to neutralize his awesome offence, but at a cost of very limited offence in return.
Which is where I think Lennox would fight too defensively and lose the fight albeit by decision.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
