Lets face it Mike was well matched in a pretty dire time for good quality heavyweights. Lewis fought everyone in a time where there were more challenges than that of when Tyson fought in his prime.

    Tyson would always find it difficult against a tall strong boxer type because Tyson was basically a small mediocre heavyweight with short arms.

    Job Biscuit (Lewis wins every time)!!!

    eh eh!!

    Yes, they were both awful fighters

    If they had've been around between 1880 and 1960 you would be all over them like a fat kid with cake

    And totally agree with the guys that said Lewis didn't have a questionable chin. George t Oliver McCall would've gone down from the Rahman punch

    You sound like Amir Kahns old man about the Prescott fight!

    So all the fighters that beat Rahman had a better chin than George Chuvalo? Hhaha!

    Lewis never had a dominant period, he was gegting gift decisions v Mercer and looked shite v Akinwande and Mavrovic. He drew with Bolyfield because he was too scared to engage and got a shite decision against Holyfield because he was too scaredtoexchange and at the very height of his fame, he got proper sparked out cold by Rahman. What a joke!
    Congratulations on the wankest post in the past 5 years

    I said "THAT PUNCH" from Rahman would've floored McCall or Chuvalho and I stand by that. It was the best punch the guy ever threw and connected right on the sweets spot. Nobosy stands up from that punch imo.

    Yeah, not even Ali who took flush shots from Foreman, Frazier and Shavers

    Oh but you mean that one single hardest ever thrown punch in the history of boxing

    Tell me a punch that hard, that landed where that one did and the other guy stood up. Foreman, Frazier nor Shavers hit Ali with a shot on the button like that. Shavers hit Holmes with one and guess what Holmes went down.

    Fraiser landed a knock out left hook on Ali in the last round of their first fight and ali got up. Shavers landed a moster punch against Holmes and Larry got up. Hell Larry got up from Tyson's right hand.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yea but the difference is Earnie Shavers, is considered one of the hardest hitting Heavyweight's of all time. And that shot was right on the button, and Larry Holmes got up within 4 seconds then beat the crap out of Earnie Shavers.

    I remember Jimmy Young taking a great left hook, from George Foreman in the 7th round of there fight. And despite being slightly wobbled took it great.

    Also while having a breakdown, Oliver McCall took flush right hands from Lennox Lewis without blinking
