who wins a peak mike tyson or lennox lewis

[boozeboxer]

I bet Saddo is fucking sick of the who could beat Mike Tyson threads.....hell there has been a shit load just since I started......

[ICB]

he managed 8 rounds because he wanted to punish tyson for what he said to lewis and what he done to lewis if lewis can survive early onslaught through first 4 rounds he then starts to frustrate tyson and wins decision or possibly stop tyson late

Not true. Lewis is on record as saying he was amazed that Tyson was taking the shots he did. Emmanuel Steward was screaming his head off for Lewis to stop pitty-pattying and clear Tyson out because he knew that the Iron one was potentially dangerous.

If they fought in Tyson's prime in 1988 Lewis would definitely have lost. Tyson had a penchant for chewing up tall heavyweights at the time and Lewis, while good, was still somewhat green.

But magically-mystically if they both could have fought in their own relative primes... it's a pick 'em. I don't think Lewis ever got the credit he deserved and people are sudden Tyson-revisionists as if he weren't as good as he was. Sure Tyson had flaws, but that certainly didn't make him unique. The combination of speed, power and defense inside a little package did.

yes lewis said that but he also said he wanted to punish him for what he said about his kids and he bit him jeez i would wana punish him aswell and it doesnt matter how long it took lewis to stop past it tyson it wasnt close so who cares ?? prime for prime like i said its pick em its either tyson early or lewis late

lewis never had kids at the time,so why would he take offence at it....it is obvious that tyson was acting to promote the fight and for the press confrence meely,tyson was trying to make a show of it so he walked over to lewis and lewis bodygaurd pushed tyson first and that brought out mikes volatile temper (no one pushes iron mike) so tyson swung at the bodygaurd for pushing him,then lennox swung at tyson so tyson bit him....................................the bodygaurd started it all....and lennox swung at tyson first
[/quote] well why would mike say i wana eat his children then i dont understand ?? mike at that time was looney bin he tried to break bothas arm and alot of other stuff i think he wanted to bite lewis not to give fight more hype just because he was in such a state at that time he didnt care

[spanky-banky]

dont you remember the saverese post fight interview? "my defence is impregnable and im just ferocious,i want ur heart i wanna eat he children" c'mon that was clearly rehearsed that little speech

......but yes tyson was a bit looney tunes he had terrible temper tantrums

Sad part is when he spoke of being the most ruthless champion ever with his great style and being liston and dempsey then some...At one time that was all true.....A prime Tyson would have beaten Bob Sapp to a pulp

Tyson was a monster during his peak, there is no way a gentleman would've beaten him during those times.

[Beanflicker]

Its a tossup, but to be honest I don't see a prime Lewis knocking out a prime Tyson. For me, it would either be prime Tyson knocking him out or prime Lewis cautiously (SMARTLY) outboxing him for the decision. Either way it would have been a great fight.

[ICB]

Im not even going to bother on this very old topic i remember another thread about Lewis vs Tyson that i debated on it went on for 25 pages so i think i'll keep my opinions to myself on this one

[Galaxy]

I'm with Ice Cold (don't know how many topics theres been like this) But my opinion hasn't changed I still think a prime Tyson would have got to Lewis' chin!

I think both tyson and lewis would lose to a prime Joel Julio.
