Does a Prime Mike Tyson beat a Prime Lennox Lewis?

[Kris Silver]

Lennox is clever, fights tall, long, has good defence, and a decent chin.

I really don't see Tyson winning.

He wasn't the invincible he was and is made out to be.

Mike all day every day. Machine!!!

yeah, because Tyson was famous for being fleet footed and dancing circles around his opponents. Play that back in your mind one time

tyson did have great upper body movement tho and always stayed low making it difficult for tall fighters reaching down trying to hit him. this would give lewis fits. the uppercut would be lewis's big equalizer but then again prime tysons uppercut was even more vicious

lewis wasnt invincible either. I dont think lewis's chin is bad but its definitely not as good as prime tysons. that guy was like punching a brick wall when you were lucky enough to hit him clean. even a totally shot,, exhausted tyson hung in there for 8 rounds against lewis

Hung in there, oh whoopy do?

The shot excuse is overplayed so much when it suites esp with Tyson. A chin doesn't 100% leave someone, the fact is Tyson was knocked out 5 times. 89 Tyson's still largely invincibable, 90 and he's knocked out, suddenly the reworking history kicks in.

Lewis took big shots from Vitali in his past prime phase and did not get knocked down, or out.

I'd say most definitely. He could find any boxer in history. Klits, Ali, Lennox, etc....

I have always sided with LL on this one even though I know if Tyson caught him with the right punch, he could have knocked him out like Rahman and McCall did. I say Lennox wins 8 out of 10 fights prime for prime.

youre saying tyson wasnt shot when he fought lewis? a chin does leave many when they age and lose there legs. never said tyson was invincible. he had his vulnerabilities but lewis also had vulnerabilites. btw,,,I didnt say lewis had a bad chin. I think its actually underrated but it wasnt as strong as tysons. like I said,,,if lewis made it past the 6th round I think he wins the fight but I slighlty lean to tyson getting him out of there before it gets that far. it is debatable but were all entitled to our opinions. glad to see the poll is so close becuz it is a tough one to call

Lewis is arguably the greatest heavyweight ever, he would beat Mike.
