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

[Frank Ducketts]

I never said tyson wasnt past it when holy beat him. holy was also past it tho and I just think he had the style to beat any version of tyson. holy had a good chin and was great at rolling with the punches etc

Tyson had tremendous hand speed, he was a great body puncher, and a great inside fighter. We will have to agree to disagree.

I have no problem with that. tyson was a beast in his day no doubt. would have been a great fight. a shame it didnt happen in 91 when tyson was sent to prison

Lewis style was tailor made to be beat Tyson IMO

[ADP02]

Holmes was a sacrifice. But prime Holmes' jab would not have kept Tyson off. Even Ali would have had problems with Tyson. Prime Foreman I favour over prime Tyson.

Even that version of Holmes connected over 40% of his punches (43%). A prime Holmes would have been a tough fight for Tyson. So one can see that Tyson was hittable even back then.

While he was probably just being respectful, you can see that Tyson thought that that version was NOT the Holmes we all knew and even went as far as to say that "I wouldn't have a chance against the best of Holmes"

at 7 min mark

Lewis imo was just too slow for Tyson. Tyson sustained fury, and his body attack would take Lennox apart. Jmo.

Tyson was better than Lewis in their prime.

I guess we are not going to agree on this one .... a first!

It's all good lol.

well he definitely wasn't no hasim rahman that's for sure

Both could win. They both have what it takes to beat the other and both of their flaws get way too much attention.

Apart from those two huge shots, both from certified one punch KO artists, Lewis never went down from memory. Not once was he knocked down or even really wobbled badly apart from those two monster shots. People see his awkward movement, a bit similar to Wlad and Vitali as him getting rattled when it's just a big guy.

Tyson was the same. His stamina was fine as was his heart. It would be a very close fight that I'd favour Lewis in over the distance and Tyson early.

not really true. briggs stunned lennox in the 1st round, bruno stunned him multiple times and vitali did it too.
his chin is better than wlad's but not by much.

i think that prime tyson is bad match up for lennox. I wouldn't favor neither lennox or wlad against prime tyson.
