Lewis vs. prime Tyson... who would have won?

[-Antonio-]

Lewis would have won. His uppercut would give any version of Tyson trouble. It would be much more competitive I than their fight though.

Lewis who was KO.d twice and rocked by Bruno stands no chance.

This is one of the things that always comes up in this sort of debate... while I respect your opinions and found them very well considered, when talking about prime vs. prime people always tend to use the best version of Tyson and the worst version of Lewis.

If Lewis had stepped into the ring against Tyson in any age, it would not have been the same Lewis that was fat and bored against Rahman, the reckless Lewis that went in against McCall... let's not even go with Bruno, who rocked tyson even worse.

If Hasim "Lose all my big matchs" Rahman could KO Lewis then Prime Tyson would have.

Ur rite about the prime Lewis thing. But even so, his chin i dont believe would hold up against Tyson.
Holmes had a great chin, fighters dont lose that overnight. Tyson destroyed him.
Bruno rocked both Tyson, and Lewis, but they were both not at there best.

I just think Tyson fought guys who were faster than Lewis, with better chins than Lewis. Lewis had big punches, and was technically very good, but wen was his prime?
Against Ruddock wen he was faster and lighter, or later wen he was heavier agaisnt Holyfield?

I dont think Lewis could keep Tyson off. Tyson knew how to get past a long jab. And it would only take a short left hook to hurt Lewis, like he did to Berbick.

Lewis would have knocked him out

You see the post above yours? Read that.

i think it will be down to tyson's ability to deliver the punches and lewis' inability to deal with such power.

[GodlessAngel]

as long as Lewis got through the first few rds he would dominate
and ko a frontrunner like tyson. lewis was just too good but of
course it is possible tyson would of koed him had he landed big.

The Tyson that knocked out Spinks and Berbeck with one punch would've knocked Lewis out within 4 rounds.

Tyson crushes the ladies man. Tyson's speed and power knocks the accent out of Lewis.
