      When Lewis fought him he was a 0 dimensional fighter. He had no skills, heart, drive, speed, or footwork. He was a sloppy out of shape bum.

          i have always believed Lewis was nothing more than a 1st round KO for a prime Mike Tyson... The Tyson who Lewis beat was no better than the one Danny Williams & Kevin McBride also beat, he was a shell of the fighter he had been 15yrs previous and Lennox Lewis knew that which is why he agreed to fight him.

            I think prime Tyson's one dimension would have been enough to see off Lewis.

            Prime Tyson had the speed, power, pace and a pretty underated defense. Prime for prime I cant see anything other than a Tyson win.

            All the dimensions in the world wont help Lewis when combinations with that speed and intent are hurtling towards his chin.

            I do rate Lewis at the very least top 15 in ATG heavyweight terms, but prime Tyson was a very nasty puzzle to solve.

                Prime Tyson would have beat Lewis. Period.

                  Not for decent fighters he wasnt ..hell he even got beat by bums and didn't even attempt to avenge those losses....witch sort exposes Tyson to the keen eye ...as soon as he stepped in a ring with anybody not even half scared to fight back he lost...everybody seems to wanna make excuses for tyson on why he lost fights ,but no body looks at the facts...he lost ! the bottom line is that his resume against common opponents shared with Lewis or Holyfield ent that great ...in fact both Lewis and Holyfield are clearly far better fighters !

                    On what fact do base this ?
                    The only thing to base it on is form and based on form Lewis is a far better fighter, if you go by resume and common opponents shared with Lewis ,Tyson doesn't score that well !
