    Tyson would have fought Lewis when Lewis called him out if he thought he could win.

      Tyson had stamina issues because of his asthma.

      As I've said before, Tyson is everything a heavyweight shouldn't be. For that he causes a lot of other fighters problems. Tyson is going to come in low and elusive looking to get on the inside and unleash combination's where as Lewis is going to need to try and keep him back with a strong jab.

      It's one of those 'what if' fights. If Tyson can get inside a few times, then he's going to hurt Lewis alot. If Lewis can keep Tyson back with a jab and then throw a right, it'll hurt Tyson and frustrate him.

      Personally I'm going for Tyson. If those two fought 3 times in their primes, Tyson might have only won one. But Tyson does have some a lot of power and can see that hurting Lewis.

      People also need to realise Tyson's prime was before the Douglas fight. Everything after that was the weed smoking, beer drinking, later night partying, can't be arsed to train would rather **** women Tyson.

        Saying that a prime Mike Tyson has flaws is like saying Pacquiaos hand speed is too slow absurd, his defense and head movement were 2nd to none his power and speed were mind blowing and his endurance was damn well good enough.

        I dont think its a real competition Tyson was just a monster a true warrior no one could compete with him when he was prime no one hes a crazy dude.

          It would go like when they actually fought except Tyson would be live for more than one round. Lennox only lost when his head wasnt in the fight. He'd know what he was up against with Tyson. He'd clinch the **** out of him for 4 or 5 rounds, lean his weight on top of him, then start picking him off with the jab from range as Mike tired. Late tko.

              Lewis beat everybody, Tyson was untested due to the level of competition in his day. As soon as he stepped up, he lost.

              Tyson was put in with fighters that suited his style. Lewis would have been hell for Tyson.

                Lewis also got knocked out twice in his "prime".

                  That video makes him look very good. But to be fair, who is he fighting? Are they really world class heavyweights?

                    He also avenged them losses.

                    If they fought 10 times, Lewis would probably win 8, the rest would be Tyson by KO.

                      Wit all due respect to Lennox, the dude was really overrated, he was slow and his punches werent great...Tyson was fast, tough, everything expect didnt have much height...

                      Tyson easily
