Tyson '88 vs Lennox Lewis prime

[R=G]

Who wins?

lewis

i think tony tucker without a broken right hand could have beat tyson but douglas got him first. tucker was the best heavyweight he fought before the buster douglas fight. lewis is better than both by a lot.

 

[R=G]

Before the old man died...u think Lewis beats a faster and more focused Tyson? Someone with a more suspect chin? Odd deposition.

i think about this question and i just look at that tony tucker fight and think if tucker could have that type of performance against mike with a broken hand then lewis could have at least matched it. and lewis was a better fighter, so i think its reasonable he would do a lot better. tyson has a puncher's chance and you got to give that to him but everything else in my eyes, logically, must go to lewis.

Tucker was in 87 though! 88 Tyson was Larry Holmes, Tubbs, and Spinks destruction

So the guy who has been knocked out more has the better chin?

Causals? I was watching Tyson while your mama was wiping your ass. Floyd got these nyggas hyped acting like they've seen some classics..lol @thinking Lewis is gonna dominate Tyson in his prime after how he got murdered by Rahman and was afraid of doing that Vitali rematch by racing to retirement.

i bring up tucker though because one he was a good fighter and similar size and body as lewis and two people forget that mike could look human even in his prime. anybody that says tyson would destroy lewis is thinking about the tyson that was knocking everyone out not the one that went the distance with tucker which people look over in retrospect. lewis would do at least as good if not better than tony tucker.

Nobody here has said he would destroy Lewis and nobody is saying that Lewis couldnt hold his own either, although I do think Tyson should get the win, he might even get the KO! Lewis had the size and tools to make the fight interesting and there is a legit shot it would go the distance but if Mike didnt get the KO Id think he would have won 8-4

Tyson went the distance with Mitch Green, James Tillis, and Ribalta in 86 and James Smith in 87 before the Tucker fight ever happened
