prime tyson vs prime lewis

[Muzzo]

Lewis messed Tyson up then too

did u even read what I just posted

[El Kabong]

Yes but that was disputed by Lewis' trainer and as I hear it Tyson dominated early and Lewis came on strong to dominate later days of sparring because he figured out Tyson's style.

[Muzzo]

Lewis's trainer at the time was the same as Tyson...Cus D'amato for them two weeks he was there,I'v heard it from the horses mouth so to speak,I know what I'm saying,like I said Tyson had the better of every sparring session,some sessions he maybe was'nt as dominant as others but it was either Steve Lott or Teddy Atlas who definetly said Tyson always had the better of Lewis in every sparring session.

[Muzzo]

P.S. Now that I remember I'm 95%it was Steve Lott who said that.It was from an interview he gave to TysonTalk.com .Infact it was my question he answered,the administrator(however u spell it) of TysonTalk.com announced he was due to interview Steve Lott............. for the website a few months back and invited people to send in questions,the point is this is how I know.You should check out the site yourself,it might still have the interview
Sorry man,I aint trying to start up an argument,just trying to set things straight u know,
Peace

23 pages of this? Wow! Anyway, I would take a prime Lewis over prime Tyson. LL was/is just to big and fast for Mike. Would have KILLED to see this fight when it should have happened.

[Muzzo]

Ha Ha,I got the guy wrong along,it was Tom Patti,not Steve Lott or Teddy Atlas,
however I dug up the link to that interview,here it is http://tysontalk.com/article-564-thread-0-0.html
P.S.Lyle my question is under the name "muzzo",in fact I asked him two questions,enjoy!

Oh I must be mistaken then because I read of Lennox's 1 and only Amateur coach

Also might I say #1 that's TYSONTALK, it's a pro Tyson website....#2 FSN Behind The Glory Mike Tyson covered the amateur sparring story and debunked this "Tyson dominated" myth

Man,I hate to drag this on but I think ur confused judging from that link you posted,about lewis's trainer at the time,what I meant was that when Lewis was at the Catskills for two weeks it was Cus D'amato who looked after him aswell as others for them two weeks,plus judging from that I think you think I'm trying to say Lewis never had the better of Tyson professional wise,man I know all the Tyson/Lewis pro fight from 2002,lol,i'm not talking about that,I'm talking about when they sparred as amatuers.You know what I'm saying??

[El Kabong]

I know what you are talking about...Lennox Lewis came down FROM CANADA to New York with his trainer as he was mighty young at the time.

Cus NEVER trained Lewis, maybe gave him some pointers but never trained him....look at his style dude

[cockey cockney]

this thread still going on? Can someone just make a poll please lol and we will do it that way!

[lb4lb]

Young or old, Lewis wins. Tyson even admitted it, after getting beat by Lewis, when they fought as kids. Lewis was always bigger and stronger. Only way Tyson would ever beat Lewis would be by a lucky punch on his glass chin, but I doubt it he would be able to land it, similar to Tua.

That's bull****,Tyson never admitted that,I read an interview with either Steve Lott or Teddy Atlas (cant remember which one)and they were asked that very question and they said when Lewis was up at the Catskills for a couple of weeks sparring with Mike in the 80's Tyson ALWAYS had the better of Lewis,some days lesser than others but he stated that Lewis never had the betterof Tyson,granted at the time Tyson was closer to his pro debut but there you go!

Actually what I read was that Tyson for the first sessions beat the crap out of Lewis, but Lewis kept coming back. Lewis started to figure Tyson out and started to do well against him. This was what Cus D'Amato quoted and later said that the two boxer will meet for the heavyweight title some day.

[IronDanLaw]

I always believed that any who uses a good jab against Tyson can beat him.

Thats why i go with Lewis beating a prime Tyson.

You get a cool click for that!

IMO no jab could keep Prime Tyson off you.
No jab.
That isn't an insult to Lennox.
Just an observation that a flicking straight arm loses to the onslaught of power hooks & uppercuts that came from Prime Mike.
