      Prime Tyson would KO Lewis, Holyfield, Both Klitchkos, David Haye. And I stand by this statement.

        Prime Tyson would've beat Ali also, Ali struggled against small stocky oppenents like Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson was the best of them.

          I remember Lennox Lewis saying how when he was young, he saw the young Mike Tyson train, and Lewis said "When I saw Mike, I said to myself I do not wanna fight this guy".
          Lewis was scared before even becoming pro. So, the fear factor that Mike brought to the fights is something this dumb ass radio scum bag forgot about.

            That's a fight that I really want to see. If they fought Ali would win 7 times of out f 10 in my opinion.

              Ali fought Frazier only a few months after a very long layoff, and wasn't nearly at his best. What other "small stocky fighters" did Ali supposedly struggle with? Prime Ali beats Tyson every single time.

                Joe Frazier beat Ali after he had 2 fights within a few months got 18 rounds in, even in the second fight when Ali won he still struggled against Frazier.

                Tyson throws more punches, not mention the different variation of those punches, more explosive & has a better defence, IMO Tyson would have beat him.

According to Coward I mean Cowherd Tyson fought in an era when the HW div. was the weakest. I couldnt believe what he was saying because he holds the Klits so high on a pedistal.
                  I was sitting there thinking WOW. He must have forgot that Tyson served time in the pen and when he fought a prime Lewis he was past it. Im not saying he would beat Lewis prime for prime but I think it would have been a lot more cometitive.
                  I dont want to hear the whole ESPN sucks and blah blah blah
                  I want your opinions on what he said and if you agree with him.

                    Lol, let's not pretend he wasn't in his prime when he fought Lewis and Holyfield. Let's not pretend he lost all of his trainers that made him what he was by than.
