Lennox was NOT a great champion!

[GunStar]

The biggest problem I had with Lewis is the way he fought Holyfield, he was fighting Holyfield scared a guy that is way smaller then Lewis and also Holyfield was not in his prime when he fought Lewis..

Both Tyson and Holyfield was not in their prime when Lewis fought them.

People like to mention Lennox fought Tyson and Holyfield out of their primes... It's not as though Lennox was overshadowing them as some young buck. Tyson is younger than Lennox and Holyfield is only a couple of years older.

It would not have been wise for Lewis to trade with Holyfield. He was past his best but still had enough left that if Lewis had elected to trade he may have fed off it.

Say what you want about his caution in a few fights, but it served him well.

He beat Holyfield about 8 rounds to 4 in their first fight and 7-5 in the rematch.

His caution served him well when he used it.

Tyson was not the same fighter after the Douglas fight and he was only 24 when Douglas beat him.

As for Holyfield, he was def not in his prime.

I think a third match with Rahman would've been nice to see too.

Yup he def beat Holyfield, but when your 6'6" 250LB you don't fight a small guy like Holyfield that way, if Holyfield was a guy like prime Foremon or Tyson, then I will understand.

Tyson wasn't the same after Douglas because people realized he wasn't anything special. Tyson only changed a little bit in reality. And a 3rd match with Rahman would've resulted in a nother picture of him flat out on the campus staring up at the lights.

A prime Tyson would've beaten Lewis, I'm not one of those guys that thinks Tyson was god, but he was def not the same fighter after he came back from prison.

As for the Rahman 3rd fight we will never know, maybe Rahman lands another perfect punch or maybe Lewis lands the 2 perfect combo.

I'll assume for the sake of argument you're not crazy. So you'll say Tyson wasn't in his prime for Buster, which is fine. We'll go back a few fights then. Even if Tyson wasn't in his prime for the DOuglas fight, he was damn close. If Douglas can outbox Tyson and land a KO shot I'd wager my car on the fact that Lewis could do the same... and probably quicker given the power of his punches compared to Douglas.

Tyson never been knocked out with one punch, it took too many punches from Douglas to finally put Tyson down, a prime Tyson had good defense and was not easy to hit, also he was much faster. Lewis has been knocked out with a single punch twice in his career.

The Tyson from the Spinks fight would've probably stopped Lewis within 4 rounds. Again we're all guessing when it comes to fantasy fights.

Both were heavier punches than Tyson. Tyson landed flurries to knock his opponents out with quick handspeeds. The shots that landed on Lewis were huge bombs that would've knocked out 90% of HW fighters out. Look at the Rahman punch... **** would've actually killed me.
