big deal. young Tyson would have destroyed young Lewis, height would not have meant anything.

I agree! Early in their respective careers, Tyson was a KO monster and Lewis while talented, had a suspect chin.

His size didn't intimidate anyone. His highlight reel of him koing everyone in 1 round would I guess, as would footage of him hitting heavy bag

I'm not a Lewis fan but no version of Tyson would have beaten Lewis. Mike is probably the most entertaining fighter of all time and I still wear Iron Mike tshirts. But, he was short for the decision and no competent big guy in his prime is losing to someone 5'10".

Lewis tries to remain relevant by making all these off comments from time to time. In regards to Lewis not being intimidated, he wasn't 2002. I wonder if the same can be said if it was 1988. Lewis was a great heavyweight, but suspect chin would more and likely be exposed against a prime Tyson.

Yea their is a reason why after they sparred in the Catskills he SLOWED down his progression and waited Tyson out. If he had fought Tyson then he wouldn't gotten KOed.

Yet after their sparring session in the Catskills he avoided Tyson like the plague even waited to go pro. Rightttttt If they had fought in 1988 Lewis would of been laid out.

Tyson always had issues with tall guys with a good jab..Douglass, Mitch Green, Tony Tucker
