    Lewis was starting to go down at that point, his second to last fight, and you saw how bad he looked against Vitali Klitschko in his next fight. Look how easily Tyson was stopped against Danny Williams (lol) and Kevin McBride (????) in his last two fights. Not to mention against Holyfield, not the world's biggest puncher. You talk about Douglas having trouble, but Douglas was a BUM, who shouldn't have even qualified for a title shot. You saw how easily Holyfield disposed of him in his next fight.

    Doesnt mean lewis cant punch,im sure uve heard thats the last thing a boxer loses. Agsint Williams tyson had Knee ligament damage, and he quit against McBride and wasnt knocked down. And holyfield was hitting him constantly he went down by once balance shot and thats it!. Douglas was soo out of shape against holyfield. If your talking about titles now..how many has Tua won! (worth talking about). He is in the worst era of boxing and has one nothing. This is really a pointless talk, its just annoying me

      Tua doesn't have the ability to cope with Tyson of '87. The only thing he has is power and a good chin. People use the Ike fight as a measuring stick but Tyson is a whole different animal than Ike ever was.

          I agree, those are "need to see fights" especially the Ruiz fight.

            Hard to judge Ike though, since his career was cut short after only 20 fights. He had already put a serious hurt on a young Chris Byrd, who was a pretty damn good boxer back then. Who knows how great Ike would have been? I have him as another boxer that would give "Iron" Mike troubles.

              Well, I meant he is a totally different type of fighter than Mike. Plus he was too young in his career to compare him to Tyson in anyway.

                John Ruiz was far worse than anyone Tyson fought.

                An how many rounds did Bruno stick with Lewis..?
                what score did bruno get on the psi machine?.

                  Would you like me to list Tysons early tomatoe cans that were FAR FAR inferior to Ruiz?

                    Does he have a granite body? Tyson was known as a good bodypuncher in his prime.
