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

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.

yup they forget about tyson going with giant undefeated out fighter gold medalists like biggs.

fighting tall rangy guys like tucker(who was a champion with an iron chin btw)


going at it with what i and many people consider a semi prime larry holmes and knocking him out. how many people have KOd larry? not even a prime holyfield could do it.

Yes.... That is a very impressive accomplishment. And in 4 rounds!

Even more impressive how Holmes took 3 years off after that KO and went on to destroy so many fighters during the entire 90's.

Lewis said he'd have a rematch with Vitali but didn't. It's ok that he didn't, talking isn't the same as action just saying. He's still a legend.

Prime Tyson was a monster. Could prime Lewis have beaten him? Sure. Could Tyson have beaten Lewis? Sure

[Sammy2g3]

Nobody beats a prime Tyson before Robin Givens Tyson.

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

People or fighters?

[JoeKidd]

No. Lennox Lewis fights like a girl sometimes. Watch the first Holyfield fight. Prime Tyson would have scared the knickers out of his arse. Crowd him and murder him!
