Same prediction if not a little earlier. LL was the and is still the best heavy weight champ from his time till the present and probally the most underrated of all time. +1 at yeahOriginally Posted by VanChilds

I'd take Lewis by decision, but it could EASILY go to Tyson by knockout IMO. Prime Tyson and the Tyson who fought Lewis are completely different. I think Tyson at his best would give any man who ever lived all he could handle, but I'd go with Lewis to edge him out on points.

Tyson in his prime was 10 times better than Tua Tyson used to bob and weave his way in slipping the jab and let his punches go his speed and power combined used to just smash through guards noway lewis wins this one no way on earth Tyson would stop him inside 5 rounds Tyson was brutal in his primeOriginally Posted by Taeth
If McCall & Rahman could do it - Tyson could do itA fully prepared LL would stand a btter chance than most in history, but would still get caught imo

I think Tyson would take all these prime for primeOriginally Posted by JonesJrMayweather
its convient that most will say that mike prime came right before he lost to dougalss...but he was only 23 years old..but lemme guess he was ring old...and if that was the case then it wasn't because he wasn't knocking all the bums out so he wasn'[t in the ring that long...as soon as he fought the top guys from his generation he lost....Originally Posted by TYSONBRUNO

no mate, his prime was 86-88 (the kevin rooney years)Originally Posted by JonesJrMayweather
tyson was absoloutly awsome and at his peak in those 2 sweet years.
prime vs prime tyson would imo win a convincing UD. but if lennox got cocky tyson would KO him badly

age has nothing to do with it. lewis peak late in his carrer and tyson peaked early and if u knew anything u would no that a focused tyson would have never lost to the likes of a buster douglas. there are many factors that come in to play regarding tyson downfall but i couldnt be bothered going into with you. you oviosly know littleOriginally Posted by JonesJrMayweather

yeah yeah yeah i know all the crap about trainier, wife, management and all the other excuses...when the facts are at any time in tyson's career had he fought a legitamte prime heavy that wasn't afraid being hit they would have beaten him..holyfield would have beaten any version of mike tyson...and even the old version of larry when he got onto his feet and kept tyson on the end of the jab tyson couldn't do shit..younger larry wouldn't have tired...tyson prime 2 yearsOriginally Posted by Troy McClure

tyson was one of the most overrated boxers in history....he should credit his success to extrordinary promotion by don king...lining up the bums and letting a guy that hits hard knock them out...wow...that was hard...

where talking prime vs prime and tysons prime, his absoloute peak was 1988. and that version off tyson would be a handfull for most. you know little in the fact that you think anyone whos not affraid and can take a punch will automatically kill tyson
and i know u think tyson only ever beat bums....spinks, thomas, williams, berbick,tubbs,smith,biggs,and holmes were not bums and yeah holmes was 38 but he still had never been koed and was never koed after that but tyson knocked him out cold,something prime holyfield couldnt do to an even older version of holmes. and spinks was a natural light heavy but he would have givin holyfield a run for his money and he ko cooney who was twice his size . so it was a good win for tyson

Tyson was an awesome fighter he only lost 6 times and one was a dq and 2 were a the end against Williams and McBride he lost it mentally with McBride just decided he'd had enough of fighting and his leg vs Williams did not help after douglas he still fought good fighters.He fought Alex stewart who was W26 L1 all 26wins by ko the loss to Holyfield TKO8 Tyson blew him away in 1 then he fought Ruddock twice dropping him in both fights and getting rocked himself.Then he went to prison came out and fought Mathis jnr after mcneeley of course but we interested in him Mathis is 2nd fight after leaving prison was unbeaten in 20 with 2 NC he gave Bowe a nightmare of a fight frustrating him to the point that Bowe hit him while he was on one knee resulting in 1 of the NC's Tyson KO'd him in 3 then he fought Bruno in his 3rd fight in nearly 5 year quite a step up actually won TKO3 and regained WBC title then he fought Seldon won Tko1 then was Holyfield he lost but he was still fighting his 3rd top 10 fighter in a row then came the dq in rematch he was banned and out of the fight game for about 17 month and fought Botha a good fighter and stopped him in 5.Then their was Saverese a good fighter and Holyfields fighting him next he lasted 38 seconds with Tyson then Golota Tyson dropped him in 1st then proceded to beat him in the 2nd Golota refused to come out for the 3rd in just 2 rounds Tyson gave him concusion jaw damage and a slipped disc in his neck or something.Even Nielson were'nt a bad fighter only lost once yet Tyson just used him as a punch bag and he won RTD7 then he lost to Lewis who was still close to his prime Tyson was a shadow of his prime yet stud and had to take a beating like a man for 8 rounds then after that stopped Etienne a fighter who had only lost once and still were'nt bad Tyson stopped him in 1 what im getting at even after Douglas he did'nt slip right down in competition until really Williams and McBride but Mike was done then .He was a good fighter all the way through his career he was'nt a bully it were'nt his fault because of his ko wins and awesome ko power fighters were scared of him he beat some good guys through his career as champ and contender lets not right him off god don't i waffle on HA HA HA![]()
Troy your talking some sense today fella now Tyson ko'd Larry cold now prime for prime Tyson would have still got to him and ko'd him cold 3 times he dropped him in that fourth round Larry could'nt keep him off and had Tyson dropped him in his prime Larry still would'nt have kept him off jab or no jab
