Come on i am fed up of all theses people raving about Tyson, Lennox Lewis was a far far superior boxer than Tyson ever was. I have seen every single Tyson fight (i have them on dvd), i admit they were exciting but this is only because he was beating the crap out of bums. As long as Lennox prepared and took this fight seriously he would win comfortably (the same as every other fight he took seriously, with the exception of the first Hollyfield fight where he was robbed)
Bollocks would he beat a PRIME Tyson comfortably. Maybe, Ice Cold should keep looking for some real debate!!

It took Lewis how many rounds to whip on a shell?! The '88 model Tyson was not willing to be whipped. He was perpetual motion, and his defence was equally his strength. Tyson would overwhelm him or at leas hit the jaw that lesser opponents were able to stop him with...
When people debate about this subject they always say oh look how long it took Lewis firstly it was one sided beating who cares secondly he hurt his right hand and couldn't throw it for a couple of rounds they say that in documentary and lesser opponents gave Tyson trouble even in his prime Tillis for crying out loud who was only a journeyman and Tucker who was only decent i mean come on when people say about Tysons superb defense it makes me laugh it honestly does Tyson used to get hit as he was rushing in and if his opponents wern't so scared they would of took advantage of it.
This thread is about PRIME against PRIME. It took Lewis a long time to beat a shell. Tyson of a decade earlier would not fight like that. He would persist and hunt and take the rounds. Ofcourse Tyson had issues with rangy fighters. But he always beat them. Tillis was an early opponent. Tucker was more than a journeyman and was beaten easily by Tyson...

Tucker is a clear example of how PRIME Tyson would beat Lewis actually.
It is ?? i would think Tucker done the blueprint on how to beat Tyson he took rounds he just didn't do enough probably because fear was involved but Lewis was never scared when he entered the ring Tillis was a journeyman and forgetting the lucky punches Lewis got caught with this wasn't luck Tillis gave Tyson alot of trouble and Tyson won the title the same year Tyson said himself the knockdown saved him.
2 rounds on my score card, 2 rounds on 2 judges scorecards 3 rounds on the other - sh1te blueprint
