Tyson had Plan A but no plan B. If he didn't knock out his opponent in the early rounds and it became a boxing match then he struggled throughout his career. Lewis was a much more accomplished boxer but many Americans didn't give him the credit he deserved.
Lennox is about 9 month's older. Saying Tyson is old at the time is false. At the time everyone knew Mike would beat him. Now saying Tyson was washed up is down playing how great Lewis was.
@mujitsu mara Yeah you're right, a 5'10 bully is the greatest heavyweight of all time. Lennox Lewis would have bashed him even more if both were in their prime.
The Americans are the only ones not giving him full honors some American not all . The sports extraidinaire who say if he was younger he would whip Mayweather ass is a fair and unbiased man
That uppercut in the first round took a toll on Tyson. He was done after 3 rounds. A shadow of his former self. Lewis really knew how to take advantage of his long reach in all his fights.
Never really watched boxing later on in my life but did see Tyson at his peak. He would have eaten anything in his prime. It’s true to say it’s all about skill and what your plan is as in Ali and Forman. ❤
But Foreman is the Man with the largest heart of all in my opinion and if necessary He would still now go out and boxing one Opponent the month for caring for his Youngsters for which He feels responsible - this is what I mean - at first side He is like an old but steady steam - engine,doing his World with devastating and constant Power! Second Side,since his 40ties He fought for the Future of Others,struggeling with Live to teach them how stay out of the Danger Zones in Life! I love Michael Tyson so very much but George is the greatest of the 3 for me😊🤝❣️
Tyson's two careers: 1. Mid to late 80's w Kevin Rooney - One of the greatest heavyweights we've seen. 2. Late 80s, 90's and beyond (post Rooney) - Underchieved, deteriorated skills and disappointing results in big fights.
Am now fifty ...I remember this fight , I cried then and honestly for unknown reason am teared up now ... Kid Dynamite was long gone before this fight , iron mike has broken better boxers than Lewis , shattered them to tiny shreds .. death of Cus D'Amato was the downfall of Mike .. Remember the twenty yr old Tyson ? ..well there you go, no more head movements here ...this was a shadow of Mike here ..just fighting to feed his kids here..sad ...Donovan "Razor" Ruddock is better than Lewis and with a broken jaw he embraced Tyson and called him the best after the fight ..
What else could we do to the video, we've stabilised it, warping it, squashed the aspect ratio so it fits in the screen shape. Could you also fill the ring with skittles?
As much as I know the outcome of the match and love both of these boxers, it's one where I can't help but want Tyson to win because, you know, it's Mike!
o que a esmagadora das pessoas nessa seção de comentarários esquecem de lembrar é que Tyson é um daqueles casos atípicos no esporte de desenvolvimento extremamente precoce. Um outro rexemplo desse tipo que consigo me recordar é Rafael Nafal, no tênis. Nadal com 19 anos já era campão de Roland Garros e com 21 vice líder do rank da ATP. Esse tipo de situação tem uma peculiariedade: da mesma forma que você desponta cedo demais, acaba perdendo rendimento físico também de forma precoce. Nadal é um guerreiro e ainda está ai, lutando, mas não tem mais o mesmo impacto e suas conquistas nos ultimos anos se restringem mais ao saibro que é seu porto seguro e onde ainda dá para ele. Tyrson teve um um desenvolvimento físico ainda mais precoce. Aos 12 anos pesava mais de 80 kg, com musculatura bem avantajada para um garoto; aos 15, já era um peso-pesado veloz e nocauteador; aos 18, nem mesmo o treinador dele ficava de pé; aos 20 anos, tornou-se campeão mundial, o mais jovem peso-pesado a conseguir este feito. De forma análoga ao caso que citei de Nadal, obviamente haveria consequências para tamanha performance num período tão curto de tempo. Assim, quando Tyson chegou perto dos 30 anos, já era possível perceber que precocemente também estava perdendo vigor físico. Mesmo assim ele tem um cartel de 60 lutas. Enquanto Lewis tem pouco mais de 40, vinte lutas a menos que Tyson. Larry Holmes tem 75. Eles lutaram muito mais que Lewis. E nunca tiveram derrotas patéticas como as duas que Lewis teve. A derrota de Tyson contra Douglas foi uma brincadeira do juíz, no assalto antes de Tyson ser nocauteado Douglas havia sido nocauteado com mto mais contundencia, e o árbitro contou os dez segundos no tempo de uns quinze, ele não iria se levantar nos 10 segundos. Enquanto no nocaute de Tyson (que provavelmente foi pego de surpresa no round seguinte, sem tirar o mérito de Douglas) o árbitro contou os dez segundos para Tyson em uns 6 segundos. Foi uma derrota mais circunstancial do que uma derrota de fato. De qualquer forma o principal fator foi a precocidade de Tyson, ele foi um lutador na primeira metade da carreira, e outro na segunta metade. O ápice de Tyson, na primeira metade da carreira, foi mais alto que o de qualquer lutador na história do boxe. Ele arrebentava os adversários mesmo quando batia na linha de cintura, algo sem paralelo, tamanho o impacto gerado pela explosão muscular de seus golpes. Quando acertava qualquer upper ou cruzado que atingia a cabeça era knock out imediato sem chance de retorno. Quebrou o osso do rosto de Golota numa luta. Eu simplesmente duvido que tanto Lewis contra Holyfield aguentaria aquele Tyson que lutou até 91. Os dois são excelentes lutadores, resistentes e técnicos, mas nunca tiveram nem perto da violência e potência de Tyson, apenas colheram os louros de pegá-lo já em fim de carreira e a galera que não é muito entendida acha que aquelas vitórias sobre o Tyson velhinho tem algum grande significado.
I've been reading comments, most are about what if this or that. None of that happened, ever. In their prime, both of these fighters were awesome. In this match, they were both pretty much done except still a threat to each other. Both were doing what they could. Lewis won.
lol you Tyson’s Stan’s need to give it up. He’s great when fought low tier mid tier fighters.. when he came against other champions on his level he just was out of his league.. was not good enough for Holyfield/lewis..
Tyson had (50 wins 44/KO). Lewis had (42 wins, 32/KO). Tyson was the youngest Heavyweight Champion in history at 20yrs old. He regained back the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World from Michael Spinks with a KO in 90 seconds. He never trained or even slept before the Lewis fight he was out partying all night with 14 women. He fought 12 rounds without breaking a sweat. His opponents didn't last more than a few rounds. If you watch the fight Lewis had with Holyfield you can hear Lewis tell the ref that Holyfield was ramming his head into him repeatedly. That's why Mike finally bit him. Mike has a permanent scar over his right eye still today from Holyfield head butting him. There's a reason Lewis & Holyfield waited until 2002 to fight him. They would have lost to him back then. Cus D'Amato was known as the best trainer around. Tyson was not street fighting in the ring but it did contribute to his success. He followed the rules. Incidentally, he never raped the girl that accused him. Tyson was a legendary fighter with a unique fighting style that was the best I've ever seen. If you watch the You Tube videos of his fights you'll see he was in a category all his own.
The problem is Tyson fought mostly cab drivers but Lennox had most of his fights against big names, so the KO ratio is biased. As for "prime" Tyson, Lennox already got his number in sparring in the 80's , check Arnie Boehm's interview about this. That's why Tyson always answered in front of cams "I'm not ready for Lennox Lewis yet." He knew he could never beat him, prime or not.
Speed, movement, energy, style, in Mike's first 5 years he mowed down guys like Lewis, no matter how tough, he never got hit this much and his movement and speed, both hand and body was superb, not way Lewis would have beat him in his prime, I could not stand Mike at the time, because he was so cocky, I love him now, have been a boxing fan my whole life, Mike was the best ever in my book, even though my man through all those years was Evander, but Evander would not have beat him in those first five years either.
@@jimmclaughlin5930 yes and because I think Tyson has still got what it takes to at least challenge the top 5/10 of today's heavyweights people are laughing at me and telling me Tyson is to slow and old but have u seen him training?..He still got the same speed and power as when he was in his 20s but now a more mature,older, wiser head on his shoulders!..Meaning this could make him even more dangerous and better fighter !..?!?
No one would ever dispute the greatness of Tyson and if it were not for his waywardness after the death of Cus D'Amato I think he would have reached the level of Ali and Lenox Lewis. All three had a weakness but Tyson's weakness was outside of the ring.
What were you drinking? Tyson had weakness in the ring as well he was a disaster to boxing.Biting Evander's ear, causing the fight between himself and Lewis to have the biggest security detail in boxing history, as a result of him being stupid trying to intimidate and causing a brawl before the fight.
Boxing made him into the man he is today.However he was a disgrace to boxing he tried and was successful on many occasions to trample and kill the sport
Sober as a judge me. The fireworks before the Lewis fight was just publicity to get more money in the pot for what Tyson knew would be his last big money fight. The ear biting was admittedly a weakness of sorts because he was frustrated by Evander's notorious use of the head. @@leroybailey7015
For Lewis, fighting Tyson was like disarming a bomb. Once you make a simple mistake you're going to explode. Credits to both fighters. But a whole different story if they met in the 80's
Mike tyson adalah petinju yg punya pukulan sangat keras. Banyak musuh (lawan) yg jatuh karena pukulannya. Kalah atau menang dalam bertanding dia menerima dg tenang. Aku simpati padanya.
I always felt a bit bad for Tyson, but this fight is as good an example as you'll find of his flaws. He's a fighter not a boxer. As soon as he lost that tiny little bit of speed that allowed him to close in quickly he was more or less done. Lewis outboxes him easily.
I watched the Douglas/Tyson fight live years ago. Watched this old replay at least 3 years ago. Lewis had the longest reach of any heavyweight ever. His Jab was a power hammer and at 250 pounds had lightning speed! Tyson even in his prime would have had to land an early round knockout to win against a opponent like Lewis. Love and respect both fighters. Frazier,Ali,Foreman, Lennox against those warriors would have been epic
2nd highest weight of Tyson's career. The Hawaii training camp and all that good weed. Dude showed up for a public ass kicking with only marginal effort to win. Felt bad for Ronnie Shields, guy was trying his best with a fighter that was only there for the paycheck.
@@sportster16301Lewis is older than Mike Tyson come on stop that excuses the man got his A__beaten he was avoiding Lewis all his career till he had no choice….facts
Mike was not at his best like he used to be. We love u Mike. We love to see you like a bull rushed heavily at your opponent. Audiences paid a pricely tickets for a 3 min fight.
That's the most annoying part of Mike Tyson's fights. People are still at the gates buying tickets and the fight is over. He lacks discipline and finesse. That's why he faded away easily. He was not at all the likes of Mohammed Ali and co!
If I had a dime for every excuse I've ever heard from all of mike Tysons losses id be a billionaire..... even the greatest of fighters in history have losses. Its really not a big deal people. Mike is not the greatest ever he knows that, buster douglas reminded him and everyone else followed suit. He still was a great fighter regardless.
Lewis stated in an interview with Joe Rogan, that he knew and was disappointed Tyson was past his prime. He knew Tyson had not been able to train while in prison.
A dor que o Tyson sentiu quando o médico ao apertar as laterais dos olhos para fechar as cicatrizes deu para imaginar no grito. E depois ao ser nocauteado o sangue saiu nas duas laterais , foi uma sequência visando estes dois pontos , dor e abalos na cabeça teve que ser muito forte e muita determinação apesar de perder mostra o quanto também foi resistente, uma luta historica. No boxe pesado os americanos dominam , os maiores de todos os tempos nascem na América
Everyone is trying to tell Lewis how he should finish the fight but Lewis is the experienced fighter in the ring and understands that he can make one mistake and the fight is over.
Lewis best fighter ever to walk in the ring simple fact. He just made tyson look like a little boy. Took him apart bit by bit. Lewis best fighter of all time and if Lewis had to fight fury today. Fury would be flat out in 1 round
@Blue Sky you are a son of a b, lenox just hugged him the whole fight and would have got fucked if he would box but he wasnt even boxing. and btw you never had a fight in live, you shouldnt comment beccause your life or opinion dont count, its useless, you are a nobody telling a champ what he is
All this talk about Lewis being smart, using his jab etc. The fact is Tyson was just a shadow of the fighter he was. At this stage in his career he could have been beaten by worse fighters than Lewis. He was in it for the money his heart and desire long gone. Lennox Lewis would have lost against Mike when he was at his peak. Even in this fight it took him 8 rounds for a knock out. Mike had chin unlike Lewis.
@Matt Barber tyson had been under the pressure of the spotlight for a long time before Lewis and took it's toll on him way earlier than it should have. Mike Tyson beat himself...put both in their prime at the same age and Tyson hands down would have won, he had lost his passion and himself long before this fight.
Tyson was not ferocious anymore he kind of mentally gave up after 3 rounds. It’s life he didn’t have the fight for it anymore he didn’t want to be there. Tyson even says he had enough of boxing he just wants to quit. Forget the Age this was mentality. Tyson was not there mentally in the fight he wanted out, it was only Tyson’s corner that wanted him in the fight. Tyson even gave up throwing punches after 3 rounds A Prime Tyson 1988 would have been a KILLER all 12 rounds
Lennox should have been disqualified: excessively clamping himself to the opponent; his trademark. This way he takes the angle out of his opponent and can relax by leaning comfortably on..yes..that same opponent. Tyson not do explosive and fast anymore but he’s always been a boxer that needs to get close to the other to compensate his shorter reach, and then he’s still dangerous. This is why Lennox keeps clamping the whole time. A champion unworthy
Tyson wasn't even a shadow of his prime, nowhere near it. Overweight and slow. Just 2 years before this, June 2000 he was in shape and the number 1 contender.
Mike Tyson deff last of the great heavyweights, but lucky he didn't have to fight George Foreman, Forman had like a mack truck power , even Evander Holyfield admited George was the hardest puncher he has ever fought .
Tyson would've beatin Foreman. Stop thinking Foreman would win just because he beat Frazier. Tyson is way more explosive and powerful than Frazier different styles.
It is interesting what Lennox said after the fight to the effect that Mike peaked at 19.He may be right. I remember his astonishing condition back then. After the first round he would return to his corner and he wouldn't be sweating yet and he would be breathing as hard as he just got outta bed. He really was Unbreakable then.
That's like saying a prime Ali would've knocked out Holmes.... totally hyperthetical. Tyson was never the same after he married Robin Givens she fucked his head up Douglas destroyed him then it was downhill from there
Bs Tyson in his prime was when he won title,Lennox prime,when he got older,bigger and when he got with Emanuel!!!Ali is the best heavyweight ever,I got Lennox#2 , his,height,weight,he can outbox u or knock u out! Iron Mike #3! If Lennox was a American ,he would have been more popular!
@@larryjohnson8042 Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman both knocked Lewis out with one punch. Prime George Foreman for example would be a nightmare for him. No way he is #2 all time.
Tyson's whole life is tragic. I'm not much for "ifs and but's" , however, if Cus D'amato was a younger man and with Tyson throughout his career there wouldn't have been another heavyweight left standing. Period

😂😂😂 baddest my foot... he wasn't bad he was scared that's why he acted the way he did
Referee thought he was helping Tyson by not letting Lennox clinch when in reality he kept Tyson at perfect distance to get peppered by lewis

No one would ever dispute the greatness of Tyson and if it were not for his waywardness after the death of Cus D'Amato I think he would have reached the level of Ali and Lenox Lewis. All three had a weakness but Tyson's weakness was outside of the ring.
He wasn't a great boxer, Lewis was.
Personally I think Lewis was the best but many would say Tyson was a great boxer. @@John-mn9rp
What were you drinking? Tyson had weakness in the ring as well he was a disaster to boxing.Biting Evander's ear, causing the fight between himself and Lewis to have the biggest security detail in boxing history, as a result of him being stupid trying to intimidate and causing a brawl before the fight.
Boxing made him into the man he is today.However he was a disgrace to boxing he tried and was successful on many occasions to trample and kill the sport
Sober as a judge me. The fireworks before the Lewis fight was just publicity to get more money in the pot for what Tyson knew would be his last big money fight. The ear biting was admittedly a weakness of sorts because he was frustrated by Evander's notorious use of the head. @@leroybailey7015
I still think Tyson was the best of all time.
He had the best potential had Cus never died.
Yes…but Lewis was awesome too

Very tactical Lewis, good fight you gave we your fans. Applauded

For Lewis, fighting Tyson was like disarming a bomb. Once you make a simple mistake you're going to explode. Credits to both fighters. But a whole different story if they met in the 80's
I agree I got prime MIke over anyone
You don’t know that for sure. What we do know for sure is that in this fight Lennox Lewis was the better fighter.
Jusy like Ali, Lewis got better with time while for Mike it was the other around

In 2002, the hype was huge even in Russia. It was only after this fight that I learned about the great boxer Lennox Lewis.
Da quando esiste la mossa che mi appoggio di peso e ti metto giù???
Both r brutal fighter ,and kind hearted too mainly M Tyson. I wish both of you. Thank you so much.
Lewis you are a great boxer, London is proud of you !

Mike tyson adalah petinju yg punya pukulan sangat keras. Banyak musuh (lawan) yg jatuh karena pukulannya. Kalah atau menang dalam bertanding dia menerima dg tenang. Aku simpati padanya.
Tyson ok
Bagus
Makan itu kepala dan darahnya Tyson terkapar kayak kerbau dipotong ,,
I always felt a bit bad for Tyson, but this fight is as good an example as you'll find of his flaws. He's a fighter not a boxer. As soon as he lost that tiny little bit of speed that allowed him to close in quickly he was more or less done. Lewis outboxes him easily.

😊😊😊
He was never going to be the same tyson once he hit mid 20s.. his style is for a younger man.
I watched the Douglas/Tyson fight live years ago. Watched this old replay at least 3 years ago. Lewis had the longest reach of any heavyweight ever. His Jab was a power hammer and at 250 pounds had lightning speed! Tyson even in his prime would have had to land an early round knockout to win against a opponent like Lewis. Love and respect both fighters. Frazier,Ali,Foreman, Lennox against those warriors would have been epic
Lewis not only beat Tyson, he also had to beat the biased ref.

It’s just to bad Tyson lost but he finally fought a real bonafied champion , would have been something to see Tyson fight bowe, Morrison,
Tyson looks like he’s fighting in slow motion.
He was way past his prime and didn't take care of himself. He came in unprepared.
2nd highest weight of Tyson's career.
The Hawaii training camp and all that good weed. Dude showed up for a public ass kicking with only marginal effort to win.
Felt bad for Ronnie Shields, guy was trying his best with a fighter that was only there for the paycheck.

Mike was not at his best like he used to be. We love u Mike. We love to see you like a bull rushed heavily at your opponent. Audiences paid a pricely tickets for a 3 min fight.
Both are strong boxer
That's the most annoying part of Mike Tyson's fights. People are still at the gates buying tickets and the fight is over. He lacks discipline and finesse. That's why he faded away easily.
He was not at all the likes of Mohammed Ali and co!
If I had a dime for every excuse I've ever heard from all of mike Tysons losses id be a billionaire..... even the greatest of fighters in history have losses. Its really not a big deal people. Mike is not the greatest ever he knows that, buster douglas reminded him and everyone else followed suit. He still was a great fighter regardless.
UNA RESPUESTA PUBLICA
Lenox has to much reach. At this point in Tyson's career, he wasn't his younger self. All y'all hating on the Mike.
God loves all
Lenox has to much long hands !
Lewis stated in an interview with Joe Rogan, that he knew and was disappointed Tyson was past his prime. He knew Tyson had not been able to train while in prison.
Lewis is older than tyson
@Craig O you weather was in prison or fighting once in life, throwing a punch or training so stop complaining and go drink some milk sissy boy
Lennox Lewis is such a cool guy, How the crowd hate something like that? i cant get it!
Crowd hates his boxing style. I too.
Mike didn't want to fight anymore.
He allowed Lennox Lewis to win the fight.
Looks a fixed fight 😀
A dor que o Tyson sentiu quando o médico ao apertar as laterais dos olhos para fechar as cicatrizes deu para imaginar no grito. E depois ao ser nocauteado o sangue saiu nas duas laterais , foi uma sequência visando estes dois pontos , dor e abalos na cabeça teve que ser muito forte e muita determinação apesar de perder mostra o quanto também foi resistente, uma luta historica. No boxe pesado os americanos dominam , os maiores de todos os tempos nascem na América
Tyson looks in better shape now then back then
Get out of here with the nonsense
Good lord 😂
In my opinion Lennox Lewis is among the top 3 Heavyweights of all time
Your opinion is valid and justified. Plenty points to back it up debate is won
Please Johnson are you analysing things the way are, don't give credits depending on the situation you are seeing now.
Once tyson left Roony,s camp he was no more that fighter..
`

Everyone is trying to tell Lewis how he should finish the fight but Lewis is the experienced fighter in the ring and understands that he can make one mistake and the fight is over.
Would have loved to have seen this fight years earlier. About a decade
😅😊😊
Just a pity Tyson and his team didn't want it and paid Lewis millions in step aside money so they could duck him.
More of a wrestling match than a boxing match.

Wspaniała walka i wspaniali bokserzy.
Lewis best fighter ever to walk in the ring simple fact. He just made tyson look like a little boy. Took him apart bit by bit. Lewis best fighter of all time and if Lewis had to fight fury today. Fury would be flat out in 1 round
Yti
What you talking about Willis?Hasim Rahman knocked him out.😅
Thank U!!
Fury would lay Lewis flat in the first 10 seconds of round 1. You don't know your boxing
Lewis is clearly the best including ali
Even Ali got beaten as he got older,a Boxer has to know when it;s time to retire,better at the top.
@G MONEY Hi G Money,can't make out what you're saying.What does smh mean.
Tyson had to fight, he was in debt.
you never had a single fight in life you son of a ...., dont you see lenox is hugging him only
@Blue Sky you are a son of a b, lenox just hugged him the whole fight and would have got fucked if he would box but he wasnt even boxing. and btw you never had a fight in live, you shouldnt comment beccause your life or opinion dont count, its useless, you are a nobody telling a champ what he is
@Blue Sky you never threw a punch in life , well stay commenting about the sport because you guys are anyway zero punchers
I agree with Foreman. Lewis could have knocked out any heavyweight in history.

Mike at his heaviest weight ever tells you something- and he looked like he was struggling to move it .
Lennox Lewis ducked Tyson his whole career. The only reason he won was because Tyson was looking for a payday to take care of his family.
Facts Mike was definitely on decline few years before this fight
Fuck of
No he did not it was uther things lewis was older so fuck of
@@geoffreyhester2454 its easier to fight old Mike tyson than lewis because of mike's time in prison.

How old was Tyson where he got knocked by Buster Douglas... This thing of prime time is annoying, just give the credit where it due n stop excuses

No Mike Tyson no boxing industry finish final it's over.only Mike Tyson bring the best in the world of boxing ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Man must know his mind set in moments like this preparation is key
All this talk about Lewis being smart, using his jab etc. The fact is Tyson was just a shadow of the fighter he was. At this stage in his career he could have been beaten by worse fighters than Lewis. He was in it for the money his heart and desire long gone. Lennox Lewis would have lost against Mike when he was at his peak. Even in this fight it took him 8 rounds for a knock out. Mike had chin unlike Lewis.
@Matt Barber tyson had been under the pressure of the spotlight for a long time before Lewis and took it's toll on him way earlier than it should have. Mike Tyson beat himself...put both in their prime at the same age and Tyson hands down would have won, he had lost his passion and himself long before this fight.

I hope Mike reads my comments
What is up with all these comments about old man Tyson bla bla bla get your facts right and know that Lennox Lewis is a year older than Tyson
But prime is not about age. We all prime at different ages. A young tyson would do better.
Tyson was not ferocious anymore he kind of mentally gave up after 3 rounds. It’s life he didn’t have the fight for it anymore he didn’t want to be there.
Tyson even says he had enough of boxing he just wants to quit.
Forget the Age this was mentality. Tyson was not there mentally in the fight he wanted out, it was only Tyson’s corner that wanted him in the fight.
Tyson even gave up throwing punches after 3 rounds
A Prime Tyson 1988 would have been a KILLER all 12 rounds
@@manuelsvensson3399 yeah thats right
@@Superutubeking liar, Lewis is a badass
Lennox should have been disqualified: excessively clamping himself to the opponent; his trademark. This way he takes the angle out of his opponent and can relax by leaning comfortably on..yes..that same opponent. Tyson not do explosive and fast anymore but he’s always been a boxer that needs to get close to the other to compensate his shorter reach, and then he’s still dangerous. This is why Lennox keeps clamping the whole time. A champion unworthy
Just turned up for the 'one more pay day' Sad. But still one of the greatest fighters.
Succinctly put my friend. Tyson crowd draw gave Lewis a bumper pay day in return.
I think Lewis showed respect by dragging the fight out! A Tyson in his prime would have finished him
yea like he did buster douglas tyson was never in the same class has lennox
They are the same age dickhead.
Que tal venganza del boxeador LENNOX la preparación fue muy Reque te muy buena felizitaciones LENNOXS
Tyson wasn't even a shadow of his prime, nowhere near it. Overweight and slow. Just 2 years before this, June 2000 he was in shape and the number 1 contender.
Mike Tyson deff last of the great heavyweights, but lucky he didn't have to fight George Foreman, Forman had like a mack truck power , even Evander Holyfield admited George was the hardest puncher he has ever fought .
Tyson would've beatin Foreman. Stop thinking Foreman would win just because he beat Frazier. Tyson is way more explosive and powerful than Frazier different styles.
What 😂😂😂😂 the last 😂😂😂. No that would be holyfield and Lewis
Tyson wasn't Tyson by this fight. And Lewis did all he could to lean all his weight on Tyson during the lock ups to take away his strength.
It is interesting what Lennox said after the fight to the effect that Mike peaked at 19.He may be right. I remember his astonishing condition back then. After the first round he would return to his corner and he wouldn't be sweating yet and he would be breathing as hard as he just got outta bed.
He really was Unbreakable then.
Both fighters in their prime ...Tyson wins.
Lewis had the Chris Ewbank seniors jab, plus a devastating right hand, delivered with terrifying speed, force and class.
He'd uh neva beat the Tyson of old. The mike Tyson in prime woulda knocked out Lewis.
That's like saying a prime Ali would've knocked out Holmes.... totally hyperthetical. Tyson was never the same after he married Robin Givens she fucked his head up Douglas destroyed him then it was downhill from there
@@shaunangell2265 , Robin Givens totally punked Tyson like a bitch.
Bs Tyson in his prime was when he won title,Lennox prime,when he got older,bigger and when he got with Emanuel!!!Ali is the best heavyweight ever,I got Lennox#2 , his,height,weight,he can outbox u or knock u out! Iron Mike #3! If Lennox was a American ,he would have been more popular!

Tyson's whole life is tragic. I'm not much for "ifs and but's" , however, if Cus D'amato was a younger man and with Tyson throughout his career there wouldn't have been another heavyweight left standing. Period
