Tyson vs Lewis

[enadeus]

tyson got koed by douglas whats you point?

if douglas can so can lewis

He doesn't have a point, the guy is a complete idiot. How can you say that Tyson will beat Lewis based on one lucky shot from Rahman, that was avenged in the following fight, and there wasn't even a rematch or anything because everyone knew the first fight was a fluke.

[Derranged]

That would be one interesting fight. Hard to say, Tyson was much faster and had more "fire" in him back in his day, so he could've KO'd him early but I could see it being similar to when he fought Douglass.

nOOb listen to what i sed.

when ppl such as tyson and lewis "sparr" its not really sparring bcoz they just full on fight. its just that they have head gear.

the thread title sed

Tyson vs Lewis, so therefore I AM RITE to say what i sed.

Listen you idiot , just becasue they had a full on "gym war" and went hard sparring doesnt mean ***in squat ! Just cuz Lewis held his own and doesnt mean he doesnt get KO'd in a real fight. Look what happened to Lewis in the first Mcall fight , anything can happen and say that Lewis will KO Tyson is farce. Trust me you fool , hard sparring in a gym DOESNT EVEN COMPARE TO A TITLE FIGHT IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE !!!!!! so therefore you are WRONG ! WRONG ! WRONG !

the mcall and rahman knockouts were flukes where lewis just clearly overlooked them and came unprepared. lewis would have knocked out any version of tyson. tyson couldnt deal with a big tall guy that could box and punch like lewis

Prime Tyson would have stood a much better chance. My bias for Tyson aside(because I'm a fan), I would lean toward Tyson by early KO if it was the 86 Tyson vs. the 2002 Lewis. Thats my honest opinion, even if I hated Tyson I would say that, just off what I have seen from both fighters.

Same outcome as in 2002...if it was a prime Lewis, a more brutal K.O. would ensue

Tyson was a well tuned machine in the 80's, he would be much harder to hit than a 36 year old Tyson from 2002. You can say Lewis would win if you want but to say Lewis would dominate again is hard to believe. The reason I say this is because Tyson was actually a great figter in the 1980's, he had it all. The Tyson of 2002 was garbage after one round, he became a one round fighter. The Tyson of the late 80's/early 90's could **** with Razor Ruddock for 12 rounds, he had much better stamina then.

Razor is the one semi-big name on Tyson's resume...and don't give me that Larry Holmes crap, he was older than Moses when they faught...Lewis never ducked anybody and his list of victims is awesome

Lewis is great, all I am really saying is Lewis 02' vs. Tyson of 86' would not be like like Lewis 02' vs. Tyson 02'. Tyson was different then...

yes he was...to bad he had issues in his personnal life that kept him from being one of the 'all time greats'
