Some of the guys Tyson fought were TINY!

Ha Ha Ha, you're actually quite funny. I found your initial post hilarious and this one too, so i won't have a go back. However, the fact that you know so much on the subject of 'crazy' is apt because saying that Tyson was over rated is very crazy IMO. Where i come from (Planet Earth) Mike Tyson is rated (by the majority) exactly how he should be.

Well I agree with you there.

Although you will get some nutthuggers who will claim (you can count them on one hand, even in a thread that has 400 responses) "Tyson had a chance against a PRIME Lewis", I think even you will laugh that sort of thing off.

The vast majority consensus has Lewis (even on a one to one basis Ie. PRIME Lewis stops Tyson in 3 or 4) winning with ease.

So I was perhaps being a bit OTT when I said that Tyson is over rated: Most have him a few places outside the top 10.

So no worries my man

On the contrary my friend, i do think that Tyson has every chance of beating Lennox Lewis under the theory of prime v prime, and i am a bit bemused with the fact that you believe that a prime Lewis stops a prime Tyson in 3 or 4 when (IMO) a very close to prime Lewis stopped a completely washed up Tyson in eight when they did finally fight. Let's not forget that Lewis seemed to get better with age and when he did face Tyson he was obviously the only fighter of the two that was anywhere close to his best. I think it's a pity that the Tyson fight is still looked at as Lewis's career defining fight for the reasons i have given i.e. it was a shadow of the real Mike Tyson, and it's a shame but Tyson's later fights kind of took some of the gloss off Lewis's victory over him in that so called 'career defining fight' i.e. the joke Clifford Etienne, and especially the losses to Williams and McBride. Don't get me wrong, i think Lewis is a great fighter, but i don't think too much emphasis should be placed on his victory over Tyson. I think he deserves a lot more praise for other victories in his career.
