Lennox Lewis: "Tyson tried to intimidate me but I thought, ‘You’re 5'5, and I’m 6'5"

[Punisher33]

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

He didn't have any issues getting past Golota's jab and decking him with that homerun overhand right. A punch Lewis went to sleep from in the past.

Lewis was getting out jabbed and was losing to Frank Bruno and getting knocked out by Oliver McCall back in those days.

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.

Yea, we believe you.... Lol

That's why he would have destroyed wilder who has no jab

[QueensburyRules]

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".

- -No prime version of Lewie ever existed in Mike's prime.

Nor that of Field or Big Dummy.

You on an 8th grade field trip???

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

Very true. But Young Tyson would have destroyed practically anyone.

[QballLobo]

Lewis wasn’t scared of washed up old Tyson that could t pull the trigger anymore?
What a tough guy!

[Curtis Harper]

Mike terrified that reporter, though.

Unfortunately these two's primes were more than 10 years apart. It's a shame but it's the truth. Prime for prime would have been good to watch.

Tyson was a bully and an ass hole. I am glad Lewis beat the hell out of him. He was actually older than Tyson.
