Lennox Lewis stated that Mike Tyson would have never been able to beat him. Agree?

[thesenuts]

A couple months ago, Lennox Lewis stated in a interview that "Tyson at his absolute best could never have beaten me. I have too much size and strength over him"

He also went on to state "outside of a lucky punch, he has no chance. I had his number when we used to spar, when I fought him in 2002 and would have his number any other year"


What do you make of this?

Tyson before prison and at his best would've beat Holy and Lennox imo. When Tyson was in shape, he was a fighting machine. Speed, a left hook to the body, and a big right hand.

Lewis has been knocked out twice so no, Tyson was definitely capable of beating him. I'd give the edge to prime Tyson in a fight with Lewis.

Lennox is right. Frank is wrong!

Lennox would win 9 out of 10 times.
Tyson would probably tag Lennox and win 1 out of 10 times.

It's speculation to say that.

Anyone is capable of beating anyone, but prime for prime, i favour Lewis past three rounds. Lewis, though capable of costly errors, is still a very intelligent fighter who fights to his advantages.

I believe you...if you're talking about the post prison Tyson.

The kids don't have any memory of prime Mike. It's either the Lennox loss or the Buster loss that they always remember as the best version of Tyson.

People always look their best when they're KOing frightened bums.
