    yea he does, no one can argue against that, Lewis' style was very dominant against Tyson's style, he was used to fighting shorter guys like tyson. I think for Tyson to go against a prime Lewis is suicide

      a prime tyson had tremendous speed, great lateral and head movement and woulda got inside on lewis
      tyson was a beast on the inside
      and his power woulda ko'd lewis in my opinion

            No, you need more than great physical attributes.

            I'd pick prime versions of: Liston, Ali, Foreman and Holmes to all beat Tyson.

            Stick Tyson in the 60's or 70's and he would be a top 5, maybe top 3 Heavyweight. He would be a force but he wouldn't dominate like he did in the worst Heavyweight division of all time.

              Bruno > Liston, Ali, Foreman, Holmes AND Tyson in a rematch.

                how can you deny that? I think prime tyson won most of his fights because his opponents feared him, Douglas did not fear a prime tyson, and he dominated him, if Douglas can beat Tyson, Lewis can beat Tyson.

                  Ahem. Did someone open a Tyson KoolAid stand again? Tyson isn't the first nor the last Heavyweight people claimed was unbeatable. Sonny Liston and a young George Foreman where two others. Could Tyson have beaten them? I think not. Both would have destroyed a prime Tyson. Ali and a prime Holmes would have made Mike look like an amatuer. Holyfield destroyed Tyson when they fought and would have beaten him if they had fought in 1990 when they were originally supposed to fight. Lewis had many of the same tools that Liston and Foreman did so why is it so inconceivable that he too would have destroyed a prime Tyson? Now, that's almost every top Heavyweight since 1960 and prime Mike loses to ALL of them. Only the most rabid Tyson fans who long ago lost any objectivity can claim otherwise.

                    You ever heard of Razor Ruddock? The first Bruno Fight? Mitch Green? James Tillis? Those guys fought Tyson and still lost. TRY AGAIN.
