Who ranks higher H2H Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis?

[thesenuts]

For people who don't know what H2H is, it means matching a boxer up against all other boxers and decide who he would win/lose against.

Who would have the better win ratio against all boxers past and present.

Tyson or Lewis?

[Tommo1]

Lennox Lewis.

He beat the **** out of Tyson.

He beat Holyfield who beat a primer Tyson

He destrotyed Ruddock who challenged Tyson 2ce

If Douglas could beat a prime Tyson a prime Lewis would destroy Tyson.

I think Tyson COULD beat Lewis h2h but with the eviodence at hand there's nothing concrete to go by to rank Tyson higher.

Lewis by default!

Obviously he means, because there's controversy as to who was really better in their primes, he deserves to rank higher on a h2h list.

He beat an old Tyson.

Tyson wasn't prime when he fought Holyfield, he had just spent 3 years in prison, only fighting in 4 quick blowouts.

He beat ruddock but why would that be relevant to Tyson? Different style match up.

Yes if Douglas could beat Tyson Lewis could, but if Oliver McCall, tysons sparring partner could beat Lewis so could Tyson.

I find this a hard question to answer. On achievement Lewis is ranked higher and rightfully so. But Tyson and Lewis peaked and matured at completely different times. If they met before Tyson went to jail, Tyson by K.O. After jail I can't see a fight going any different to how it did. Maybe Tyson would be more competitive from around the first Holyfield fight but Lewis would still break him down to a late K.O. Prime for prime is hard to answer. Tyson seemed to struggle against taller fighters with a jab, but with the exception of Douglas (when he was grossly undertrained) he still found a way to convincingly win. Lewis had a great ring I.Q and always found a way to win, as proved in his rematches. I see this match as a toss up. I would slightly lean towards a prime Tyson because of his head movement and foot speed, I believe he would be able to get in range and catch Lewis cold, much like McCall did in the first fight.

Although I don't rank Tyson's resume as high as Lennox's or Wlad's I think there is a good chance prime Tyson would TKO/KO both of them.

It's because of his style which is in my opinion very difficult for tall/slower men. I would give prime Vitali better chance of beating prime Tyson.

the same Tyson who got out boxed the year before by Francois Botha?

since legacy lewis wins without a doubt, then h2h is my only consideration - lennox has all the tools needed to beat Tyson, solid chin, good defence, fitness, ring smarts, range and height and pulverising power inside as well as a solid jab. The one thing that might beat him is giving Tyson too much respect for one, and second his lack of full concentration at times, which might end up with him on the canvas.
Tyson has the tools to stop a big guy and I don't think prime Mike gets stoppd byany LL, but lewis has too much in his armoury to not get the nod over 15 rounds. But this is certainly not a fight Lennox can dominate as with old Tyson - it needs to be a smart, cagey win.
