1988 Mike Tyson vs 2002 Lennox Lewis

[seemorecizzy]

Lewis was knocked out by Oliver mcall and Rahman in his prime lol
Tyson who lost to busta douglas was without Kevin Rooney and wasnt training. Just came into every fight head hunting

 

[Columbo]

How about James Toney in his early years at heavyweight vs any version of Tyson?

 

[Nintendough]

Prime Tyson is gonna smoke Prime Lennox, y'all nikkas done forgot. Stop watching the buster and holy field fights where he clearly was dialed out and collecting a check. Hungry young bul Tyson is the most complete packaged fighter ever. Period.

True.

People also seem to forget, Douglas....for that one fight...fought a very technically perfect fight...his jab that night was really a thing of beauty to watch.

The cdn lennox

 

[spencerforhire]

Prime Tyson had trouble against an old ass Larry Holmes

Lennox Lewis in his prime would’ve whooped him.

Yes but difference is Lennox didn’t give a fuk about those fighters. And he made up for it easily anyway.

You think Lennox gonna come in out of shape fresh off a movie set against a hungry ass Mike Tyson?

Hell nah......

 

[No Hook]

Dont let Tyson catch Lewis clean. Especially 80's Mike

 

[FabTrey]

yall nikkas naive as hell. 1988 mike tyson had the fear factor like nobody else. nikkas went to the ring thought they gonna die.

fear changes everything. i ain't sayin lennox would fear tyson. but you can't ignore the mental aspect of the boxing.

Beat me to it, Tyson is the only boxer to win his fights at the fukking staredown

I think it will be similar to what happened between Douglas-Tyson, but I just don't see Lewis getting up like Douglas did after the Knockdown.

That's the only difference and Tyson was still training and taking the sport seriously in 88. Tyson by K.O. IMO.

 

[WesCrook]

Why 2002 Lennox? He wasn't near his prime either at that point. That goat hypothetical matchup between the two would be 86-88 Tyson against 96-99 Lewis

Because they actually fought that year and I wanted to make a point that that version would have beaten Tyson regardless.

Mccall used to be tyson's sparring partner lol

he won all four rounds, knocked him down 3 times, and won by a vicious knockout that left holmes unconscious for several minutes lmao
where did you see trouble?
holyfeld is the one who struggled with holmes,
went 12 rounds and almost lost
