I see a lot of people favour Lewis over Tyson.I don't want to do a poll, I prefer reading people's answers instead.

it think Lewis is favourite but the Version of Lewis pre Emanuel Steward would have got KO'd IMO

A prime focused Lewis would have won IMO.
Too big too good a jab.
Can't write Tyson off though with his equalizers.
I just think the best version of Lewis would have prevailed.
Would have been awsome to watch.
Better than the sad reality of Lewis beating on a second rate Mike.

I would pick Lewis by percentage as a 60 - 40 winner.

If they fought three times I would expect Lewis to win twice by points or late stoppage and Tyson to win once by early stoppage.

The Tyson during the Spinks fight was a totally different fighter then the one he showed back in 2002. You can't really make a fair prediction just on that fight. If this was prime vs prime, I would give Tyson the nod since he did have a chin and would of probably taken Lewis's best shots. The thing is would Lewis take Tyson's best shots? It's a shame we couldn't see Tyson fight Bowe, Holyfield, or Lewis at his best.

Tyson was easy to frustrate Tie him up push him back physically like Holyfield did & that was half the battle ,Lewis was a lot pysically stronger than Holyfield aswell & Lewis had a murderous uppercut the same punch that Tucker hit him flush with Lewis would have done a lot more damage
