I say Lewis. Of course, I HATE Mike Tyson so I could be biased. ;)

Lewis is an excellent fighter for a heavyweight, and has the skills and boxing ability to stop Tyson. He's not a brawler but can use his height and reach to keep Tyson at bay for the first few rounds, and stop him later.

However, there's the problem that Lewis MIGHT have a bit of a weak chin and can go down if surprised by the right punch. His fight with Rahman highlighted that once more, which we first saw in '96. Remember Tyson's one punch shot on Botha in the 6th round of their fight. The man can surprise you even after getting whipped for several rounds.

That would be a great one. It would be like an Ali/Frazier type fight. Lewis should probably were ear coverings or they should duck tape Tyson's mouth shut to make sure he doesn't bite again.

This really depends on which L.L. shows up. If you get the L.L. that destroyed the Rach in 4 rounds, Tyson doesn't stand a chance. If you get the average L.L. that likes to dance around and drag fights out the distance, Tyson may knock his ass out or just get out pointed in a terribly boring fight. Now I have some inside info that L.L. likes go see Scotty on the Starship Enterprise regularly but laid off to get up for Rach2. If he is not beeming up and is training right and comes prepared, again Tyson doesn't stand a chance but if just transports down a couple of weeks or days befor the fight, Tyson is going to knock his ass out, for sure.

I think Freedom called it right here. That's exactly how Hollyfield beat Tyson: He trained his asss off for double the amount of time he usually trains for a fight, and he beat him. Too bad Tyson oulled the biting crap the secnd time around... Seeing that fight thru woulda been interesting.

Anyway, that fight showed Tyson can be beaten outright, it's all in how badly the other guy (LL in this case) wants it! Funny how alot of things in life work that way...

Lewis is on coke?

He's pretty big for a powderhead, but maybe it's not huge.

Any bets Mike was sniffing during his hey day? We know the man liked to party.

Anyone following the latest with "I didn't do it" Tyson. Tyson is currently being questioned by the Nevada Boxing Commission in hopes of getting a license. One of the boxing experts on ESPN claims Tyson is afraid to fight Lewis and does things to make sure they don't get in the ring together.
