....in those 2 years between 86-88,tyson was very head strong,he was hungry and eager to show the world he was the best, and IMO i dont think lewis could beat that version of tyson,im not saying it would be easy for tyson,not at all,it would have been the most competitive fight of his life! And i dont know if tyson would ko lewis but i think he would be all over him,chasing him all around the ring for 12 rds with lewis having some good moments but nothing big. SO i dont see an upset for lewis im afraid.....sorry lennox fans

....but ive seen a hell of alot of fights and fighters and the 86-88 tyson is the best HW ive seen since ALI....a lot of you will disagree...oh well.....thats my story cheers!
thing is tyson did always struggle with jab and move types and tall fighters like tucker tillis ect and this was when he was in his prime lewis would have to look for uppercut because tyson gets caught with that punch as he is coming in i see him get caught vs tucker ruddock and holyfield with that punch lewis would have to be on his best night to survive early onslaught if he can he comes back and starts discouraging tyson with jab then he lands uppercut late on a stops tyson fight could go two ways imo tyson early or lewis late

one last thing lewis would use his much longer reach and height to keep tyson at bay and would use his left jab to good affect
