prime tyson vs prime lewis

[Gandalf]

It is the 6th round. The date is March 23, 1990. Lewis is confident he's made it this far. He's starting to establish the jab...tyson looks like he's winded, but in reality he's simple resting until he's final flurry. It happens. Oh my god. Tyson stuns lewis with an uppercut and continues a 5 punch combo knocking lennox back into the ropes. Lewis is out on his feet. Tyson just hit lewis with an uppercut as lewis is about to fall. The punch has pushed lewis's nose bone into his cerebral cortex. Lewis falls lump onto the canvas. Blood is coming out of his eyes. TV cameras cut.

RIP Lennox.

Is this the dream Tyson has while lying unconcsious in the back of an ambulance from the arena to the ER after Lennox KOs him in the 9th?

Great response!!

Bravo!

I never had a greater moment of joy other than my daughter being born & the subsequent years to follow than watching Lewis beat the blood outta Tyson.

I am dissapointed to see that the Wack-Attack is a Tyson Hater! BOOO!!! I will let this one slip and still CC ya

Tyson: Lewis was a horrible, horrible fight for me to watch. It was the realisation that all of these Tyson comebacks were culminating in this absolute beating down. Im a huge Tyson fan and that was a tough one to swallow.

By the time it came to McBride I was at least prepared to accept Tyson really was no longer the force he was...

Sorry to disappointcha babe.

Always have been a hater of Tyson...but there are bigger fish to fry out there for Wacko...so I've let it slide for Tyson now that he's retired...or been retired.

This is the only heavywieght I've seen tailor made to beat even prime Tyson... He is bigger, stronger, smarter than Tyson in the ring, and he is quicker than any other heavyweight even comming close to matching him in size. Lewis wins this by UD ala Jab+cross.

[Vessel]

Cus would of gave Rooney the gamplan to beat Lewis and they would of work from there. Tyson is not the smartest fighter their is but he had a great advisor and that makes up for it. Tyson would of went the distance and won a UD. Tyson could not knock out Green or Tillis, so I really doubt he would of knock out Lewis.



EASY.

I hated Mike Tyson. He was the freakin boogie man of boxing.
Prime Tyson unbeatable. (IMO)

[lb4lb]

Lewis all the way. Tyson came into boxing at a good time where his style was unique, but he also had Don King behind him making his opponents to be cop killers or monsters. Tyson did not face anyone near as dangerous Lewis in any of his fights before he went to jail. Of course a heavyweight boxing match can be decided with one good punch, which both boxers had.

[Hulk]

Lewis has said before that when he sparred with a young Tyson he thought "I don't wanna run into this guy in the ring, he's an animal". Tyson did have problems with good boxers even in his prime but at worst he would win on points or stop them in the middle rounds. It'd be hard for Lennox to land regularly on Mike with all the offense and headmovement. Not to mention he would not give Lennox space to get leverage on his shots. I think Mike would eventually overwhelm Lennox and probably stop him around the 7th. But if somehow Lennox could get past the 7th or 8th and keep it in the middle of the ring, he too could win the fight.

This whole "Prime Tyson is unbeatable" stuff is BULLSHIT! Who was there to fight Tyson from '86-'90 The reason Tyson seemed unbeatable is because there was a lack of talent around his age and everyone who was halfway decent was old as hell.

Now when you compare Tyson to Holyfield, Lewis, and Bowe he just doesn't stack up. All of those guys would just whip his ass if they fought him, prime or not!

A guy who in my opinion would have given him a tough go is RAY MERCER a good boxer, great chin and lots of tenacity...he'd go the distance and the deeper you take Tyson into a fight the better shot you have of winning

i totally agree i think bowe lewis holy would of beaten him in hes prime to be honest tyson is way overrated he isnt as great as some people think u should see people on youtube saying hes greatest only jack dempsey could beat him lol

[El Kabong]

I honestly think vs most all of the All-Time greats beat him fairly easy.

Ali, Marciano, Louis, Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Dempsey, Lewis, Holyfield

Guys like Walcott and Charles might get past him too if only for the fact I think Tyson just didn't have the heart to beat them.

Shavers, Norton, Patterson, Quarry, etc...guys that were on the edge of being great would have got their asses kicked though

First off you are right a Prime Tyson was not unbeatable. A prime Wladimir Klitschko is the only fighter to be unbeatable. Also your logic is messed up IMO. Lewis, Holy, Ali for sure, Foreman for sure, Liston, Fraizer would all have damn good shots at beatin Mike Tyson, prime or not. Dempsey would be crushed quickly, as would Marciano, and Louis would probably be stopped, though I'm not sure. Those guys, Dempsey and Marciano especially were just too small. Also WTF are you talkin bout comparin Patterson to Shavers and Quarry? Patterson did reach greatness no doubt, despite his 1 round failures against Sonny Liston. Norton is a HOF too, though Tyson would KO him. And lastly, Bowe would NOT defeat Prime Mike Tyson. I don't think he ever really wanted any part of Mike in the 90s even.

Wot is the point off this thread when Tyson and Lewis allready met and Lewis win fair and square,I hate this prime stuff any boxer that gets in the ring under 40 in my opinion is still in there prime,part of boxing is all to do with conditioning,so lewis win the fight End off...

I am sure if tyson had of fought Lewis in 1990 would of been a tougher maych for tyson but and the end of the day it happend later so history will always say that Lewis beat tyson....

[ICB]

so u think when ali was 38 when he fought holmes he was in hes prime ??
