That's bull****,Tyson never admitted that,I read an interview with either Steve Lott or Teddy Atlas (cant remember which one)and they were asked that very question and they said when Lewis was up at the Catskills for a couple of weeks sparring with Mike in the 80's Tyson ALWAYS had the better of Lewis,some days lesser than others but he stated that Lewis never had the betterof Tyson,granted at the time Tyson was closer to his pro debut but there you go!
Actually what I read was that Tyson for the first sessions beat the crap out of Lewis, but Lewis kept coming back. Lewis started to figure Tyson out and started to do well against him. This was what Cus D'Amato quoted and later said that the two boxer will meet for the heavyweight title some day.
