I'd never bet against Tyson in his prime.

Lennox Lewis had a Tim Sylvia vs Jeff Monson reach advantage and was a better boxer, Tyson was stronger and faster but Lennox' Jab and boxing skills were better, plus he had a lot of power too with a better chin
Lennox by UD

Lennox by UD | lennox would have caught Tyson with a upper cut and knocked him out.

Tyson has KOed many very tall Boxers and Tyson is no Jeff Monson. Tyson would KO Lenox in the second Rd via vicous body left hook combo.

It's happend before.  He's good, I just don't think he could of handled a prime Mike Tyson. Larry Holmes was a better boxer IMO, and Tyson obliterated him. Micheal Spinks took the title from Holmes and look what happend to him. Holmes beat a aging Ali, Ken Norton, Trever Berbick, Leon Spinks, Earnie Shavers (who arguably was the hardest puncher ever.)
I just think Tyson was on a whole other level that everybody at that time.

Tyson got fame beating aging fighters who werent so impresssive.The standup in those days were really really bad you couldnt even tell.

Your don't even make sense. Ken Norton beat Ali one time, how is his stand up not that good?? Larry Holmes was longest Riegning HW champion ever. He was in his mid 30s when Tyson beat him and not too past his prime if not Prime at all. And Micheal Spikes was an Olypic gold medelist. You really don't make any sense.
