Prime Tyson V Lewis, Holyfield

Lewis beats Tyson, prime for prime, 9 times out of ten. Too tall, too big, too strong, too skilled and too resolute for Mike, who wins the one fight in every ten that he is able to get inside Lewis' jab and land bombs on Lennox.

AgREED with those who said Holy had Tyson's number- he did and wins every time.

The other fat mooks don't see round three against a prime Tyson.

MTF

 

Prime Tyson would out jab Lewis for the first 4 or 5 rounds at least.

(Yes you read that right.::)

 

The hell he would.

MTF :hammert:

 

So was Lennox Lewis.

Holyfield's the only one who managed to do both.

 

It wasn't him, it was Evan Fields.

 

Think about it though steve_dave.
You may be thinking that I'm a Tyson nut-hugger, & although I do think that he possessed the best coctail of speed, elusiveness & power of any HWY in history, I hold Lewis & Holyfield in much higher regard than I do Tyson, & I think that they are greater fighters.

I also think that because Tyson was a devastating puncher, some people think that he could be out-boxed if you just kept from getting caught by him.
The fact is, in his prime (with the possible exception of Douglas) he was probably never behind on the cards ever.

 

Perhaps I overrate a prime Tyson but I think he is dangerous for either Lewis or Holyfield. I'm talking about the Rooney trained, preGivens fighter. Not the post prison, Don King messed up shadow of what he was that Holyfield and Lewis beat. I assume the calls in this thread are based on what happened to that fighter not the guy that seperated Berbick and Pinklon Thomas from their senses.
