Mike Tyson was World Champion from June 27 1988 to February 11 1990.

*Lewis retired undefeated, and as there has been no World Champion since, if he were to comeback with the status quo in place, he would have his reign backdated, and would still be considered World Champion, using the precedent set with Muhammad Ali's 1980 comeback.

ie the man who beat the man I presume

I think Lewis was aaaaight but showed he had a glass jaw. It took one single punch from Oliver McCall to kiss the canvas and when he was being cocky with Raham got a good one to the jaw and down he goes. Lewis was beating during his prime while Tyson was the opposite.

Tyson dominated the heavyweight division in his prime. When Lewis was champion it looked like anybody could snatch the belts from each other like playing hot potato.

yeah, Lewis would give you some scary fights. Every fight he was in, you know there was the potential for him losing, and this kept you at the edge of your seat and in suspense. I watched his fight against Briggs the other day, that was a mini thriller, until Lewis started to jab and unload on him.
