Could Lennox Of Beat Tyson At His Peak?

[Yusuf T.]

I think Tyson's hands were too fast, and Lewis' chin too suspect to confidently pick Lewis. I think the Tyson that fought Ruddock would be able to eat a lot of Lewis' punches and be able to keep firing back until Lewis fell.

Tyson would beat Lewis the same way Mccall did.

No way a prime Tyson loses to Lewis, no way.
Tyson hit too hard,his hands were too fast and his movement too much for Lewis all this would add up to see a Tyson win by KO inside 6 rounds.

Tyson would beat the same way Mccall did.

With a bogus stoppage by a Don King bought referee?

i think that tyson will definitely win. he would get under lennox lewis' jab and land some serious shots to the head. i dont lewis will be able to handle tysons pressure. I predict a tyson win by ko

[realheavyhands]

bruno was beating lennox pretty easily before lennox got lucky and look what tyson did to bruno who is even bigger physically then lewis...he beat tucker soundly and lennox couldnt run like tucker.. holmes fought a good fight but was too small and old...tyson would of knocked lewis out 4 out of 5 times..i think holmes was the best tho but was out of shape and thin

Lewis would always win if both faced at their peak.

Holyfield on the other hand, prime Tyson would beat him I think.

He'd get under Lewis' jab and eat a sharp uppercut. That's the only reason I think Tyson loses. Lennox's uppercut is perfect for Tyson's style. He'd lean on him too.

Lewis was hurt and was on unsteady legs. Even Manny on Lewis-Ringside said it wasn't a bad stoppage. McCall would have put him right down and who knows how hurt he would have been.



One other thing, Tyson's movement got me thinking of the fighter some say Manny made sure Lewis didn't fight, Chris Byrd. Not so much because Manny/Lennox thought he would lose, but because Lennox would still look bad even winning, and that is the elusive Chris Byrd.

Wlad was able to, and I'm talking about the first fight since the second fight Chris wasn't as elusive, to get to Chris because of how fast he {Wlad} is at throwing punches, something not a strength of Lennox.
And the reason, from what I remember hearing, that Vitali threw out his shoulder, was because he was missing so many punches trying to hit Chris.

Lewis would definitely beat a Prime Tyson. He wasn't scared and that fear factor would play no part in the bout. Lewis is a smart fighter and would have TKO'd a prime Tyson.
