    Lennox Lewis COULD have had an off night and got KO'd but I am thinking if they fought 100 times Lennox could easily take 70 fights off of Mike.

    Lennox and Evander just had Mike's number...the fights vs Rudduck and Bruno were actual FIGHTS, the fights vs Lennox and Evander were not even close, Tyson got dominated in both fights and I highly doubt a Prime Tyson would have done much different
    There is something in what you say. I don't know about 70%, but if Lewis boxes smart, keeps busy, and doesn't make any stupid mistakes, maybe he keeps Tyson at bay. Maybe.

    I just know that Tyson had trouble with guys who could box (Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglas) and tall guys with reach and a good jab (Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglas). I think Lennox Lewis in his Prime would be too smart, too big, and too strong for Tyson.

    I think Lewis and Holyfield would have ALWAYS beaten Tyson no matter when they fought.

    Of course I think Douglas, McBride, and Williams all caught Mike at really bad times or in McBride and Williams' cases at the tail end of his career. But I do think Buster Douglas' fight vs Tyson was a BRILLIANT fight on his part

    Tyson v Lewis primes would in my opinon turn out as the first round of their actual fight did. Tyson on the offensive fast and aggesive. Lewis is a great fighter and i think would beat some of the all time greats, but the weaker ones, by weaker i dont mean weaker in that context but ones who did not hold devastating power e.g Ali i think would have been given fits by Lewis but i think would have beaten Tyson who in turn i think would knock out Lewis Mid rounds.

    Lewis in my opinon couldnt fight a true rough inside fight which i think tyson could have made it, look at the holyfield fights, Lewis was hurt whenever they traded blow for blow. And if he refused to trade and was cautious mike owuld just eat him up gradully.

    i seriously dont know why lewis gets any respect on this forum, he never beat anyone remotely good, he beat a tyson who was 10/12 years past his prime. he was heavy weight champ when heavy weight division was at its lowest point in history. trust me i know what im talking about when it comes to boxing. ive studied and watched the sport for my whole life. and im an ametuer boxer too. so i know wat im talkin about
