Prime Tyson vs Prime Lennox ?

Lewis on a good day beats almost any other heavyweight in history, including Ali, but if anyone were to give him trouble it would be a Prime mike. Obviously Mike is acting all apologetic..but he wasn't his former self. Lewis has been tagged, and Tyson had the speed and defense to tag him if he was younger.

Still, i'd say Lewis 6/10 times beat even a Prime mike, however, if they fought during Mike's Prime, Lewis would lose at the same age..he wasn't as good as he became late in his career.

Lewis had the style to beat Tyson, a big tall guy with a great jab and a great uppercut, if he can weather the early storm and not get caught flush, I think he'd win but Tyson would always be dangerous.

Gota say tyson by KO. I dont think he could win on points though he would have to win early ( 4-5 rounds )
He was too much for lennox imo, too powerfull, too quick, sounds wierd but too small and explosive for lennox to keep at bay.
I say tyson would have caught him on the wiskers and droped him

Prime Tyson vs Prime Lennox ?

please give details

Tyson (as long as hes focused).....dont think Lennox would know what to do with him, especially on the inside when Tyson got in. He'd probably try his best to keep him off him but Tyson would get inside....THEN: Goodnight

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Lewis by late stoppage. Same as when they were both past their prime and actually fought.

As mentioned, Tyson did have trouble with tall, rangy, skilled fighters. Even Frank Bruno almost knocked him out.

Lennox only got beat when he wasnt focused or motivated for a fight. He'd know he'd have to be on his game for a prime Tyson.

Lennox would start cautiously, keep Tyson at bay with his jab before picking him off late while Tyson ran out of ideas.

[Live Dog]

Tyson would have the same chance against Lewis in his prime as he did when they actually fought, a puncher's chance and not a good one at that.

I've got to go with Tyson, Holmes had a great jab but only had limited success with it, the last decade of Tysons career was a circus and unfortunately many people have let this taint there judgement of just how good Mike was in the late 80's, his peak was so short lived but for a couple of years imo he was unbeatable. Tucker had the hight, jab and uppercut yet dropped almost every round, Holmes just past his best (lets not forget he gave Holyfield hell, beat Mercer four years after the Tyson loss) got battered. Both of Lewis's losses of course were one punch ko's. In my own mind though i'd like to think the fight would play out similar to Tyson v Ruddock 2 with lewis still there at the final bell but Tyson inflicting the greater damage to knick a close decision
