as a matter of fact, here it is again, the same opponents that both faced. Youll find that tyson fought all but maybe 1 FIRST, and in some cases 4 years BEFORE lewis. also in other cases you had people like larry donald who knocked out the same fighter as lewis and tyson did. IS HE A HEAVIER HITTER THEN LEWIS AND TYSON ?

Lennox's best power punch is that overhand right/straight and a stiff left jab. I also saw him knock guys out with big right uppercuts.

Peace to all
lets do similar opponents

tony tucker vs tyson= ud for tyson
tony tucker vs lewis= ud for lewis but lewis floored him twice
ruddock vs tyson= win 7th round tko wins 12 round ud
ruddock vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2
frank bruno vs tyson= tyson wins both fights 5th and 3rd round
bruno vs lewis= lewis wins tko but being behind on my scorecard at the time of the stoppage
golota vs tyson= golota doesnt come out for the 3rd if i remember right so nc
golota vs lewis = lewis destroys him in 1
botha vs tyson= tyson kos him in the 5th but being behind at the time
botha vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2
holyfield vs tyson= tyson loses in 11th and again by dq
holyfield vs lewis = 1st fight a draw but it was biggest robbery in boxing lewis deserved it 2nd fight being close with lewis winning 7 rounds to 5
tyrell biggs vs tyson= tyson wins 7th round tko
tyrell biggs vs lewis = lewis wins 3rd round tko

i thought that might help

Ok, good job with the list HOWEVER, lets read into this list alittle more shall we


tony tucker vs tyson= ud for tyson (tyson fought him in 87 when tucker was 29”)
tony tucker vs lewis= ud for lewis but lewis floored him twice (he was 35 yrs old, lennox fought him in 93’)
HOWEVER!!, Bruce seldon, herbie hide, and John Ruiz all Ko’d tony tucker, something that tyson and lewis did not do. Does this mean they are harder punchers than lewis and tyson?

ruddock vs tyson= win 7th round tko wins 12 round ud (tyson fought him in 91)
ruddock vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2 (lewis fought him in 92)

frank bruno vs tyson= tyson wins both fights 5th and 3rd round ( tyson fought him in 89 when bruno was 28, and them when bruno was 35. But wait?!?!, tyson knocked him out in earlier rounds the second time around,)
bruno vs lewis= lewis wins tko but being behind on my scorecard at the time of the stoppage (what does being behind on the scorecards at the time of the knockout have anything to do with power)

golota vs tyson= golota doesnt come out for the 3rd if i remember right so nc
golota vs lewis = lewis destroys him in 1
Lewis finaly fights someone before tyson did, HOWEVER lamon brewster ko’d golota in the first round of their fight. Does Lamon brewster have more or the same power as lewis? Even WORSE, does brewster have MORE power than tyson? Tsk tsk tsk,

botha vs tyson= tyson kos him in the 5th but being behind at the time(tyson fights botha in 99’ when botha was 31)
botha vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2( lewis fights botha in 00’)

holyfield vs tyson= tyson loses in 11th and again by dq
holyfield vs lewis = 1st fight a draw but it was biggest robbery in boxing lewis deserved it 2nd fight being close with lewis winning 7 rounds to 5
This doesn’t explain power at all, neither one ko’d holyfield

tyrell biggs vs tyson= tyson wins 7th round tko (tyson fights biggs in 87 when biggs was 27)
tyrell biggs vs lewis = lewis wins 3rd round tko (lewis fights biggs in 91’ when bigs was 31)
Also, Tyrell biggs was ko’d by larry donald in the 2 round, does that mean he is more powerfull than tyson AND lennox lewis? Don’t forget Ray Anis, who knocked out tyrell biggs in the 3rd, I guess that means he has the SAME power as lennox lewis, and is stronger than mike tyson right?.

You just can’t compare the opponents of the two, and look at knock out rounds. A lot of things can come into play, training, age, previous beat downs…..
If anything, all but 1 guy that was knocked out by the two was beatin by tyson FIRST. Who knows what happens to a guy after getting KO’d by a guy like mike tyson.
So you tell us all where we are going wrong and what to base it on
