Lennox Lewis is overrated.
That guy doesn’t even beat Ken Norton and y’all acting like he’s Larry Holmes.

Lewis was overrated. Fought dudes past their prime and HW in decline. Tyson in his prime would kill that Briton.

Tyson would only lose to Ali, Foreman and Frazier

I posted in another thread a few months ago stating that Lennox Lewis beats any version of Mike Tyson....and I stand firm with this.

Experienced, physically gifted, and slightly past his prime Lewis vs Peak, blazing fast, head-moving, Kevin Rooney advising Tyson.

Lewis still wins. The fact that Tyson had some serious struggles against above average taller fighters says a lot. Imagine was Lewis would do, regardless of Mike's speed. Lennox was too big and knew how to take advantage of his physical gifts. It'd be a nightmare for Tyson to close the gap and get near enough to Lennox to land something big. As McCall and Rahman proved, Lennox can be knocked out when he's off balance or caught off guard, but he knew how to protect himself well. There's always a chance that Tyson could slip something past Lennox and hurt him. But when Lennox is focused, he ain't going anywhere. Key word is FOCUSED.

After the 6th or 7th round and once Tyson's head-movement quickly fades, Lewis breaks him down with the jab and wins almost all of the remaining rounds to a UD.
I saw 88 Mike in person.. Nobody is winning against Mike period

It’s gonna be dope to see AI get to the point where it can realistically simulate these matchups.
