First round Tyson of old moving his head from side to side and getting inside. Second round on Tyson became a sitting target. What made Tyson so good in his early days was his incredible quick movement. When that went he became just another heavyweight susceptible to big uppercuts.
Yes but mike tyson was doing that against the likes of McNealy 😂 & low calibre fighters Lewis different animal the only reason mike was able to do that for that first round was because it's a feel out round first round always is when Lewis came out second round & kept popping that long jab that he has to he's advantage mike could not get on the inside or fight on the outside because of the long jab
I saw a video where Stacey Mckinley a member of Tyson's training team said that he did not want Tyson taking this fight because he wasn't ready and not in good enough shape, but he was overruled because there was so much money involved and i suppose because they were both getting older. But Mckinley was right, Tyson was never really in this fight
I lived through these years of HW greatness, but I forget how dominate Lewis was.. he took out a lot of the heavy hitters including Tyson and Briggs pretty easily!
OK - Tyson was past his prime. But it's worth remembering that Holyfield and the public still had him as the favourite. Lewis was brilliant here - he completely nullified Mike's attempts to get inside. It's almost painful to watch Tyson's complete humiliation.

Mike wasn't mentally ready for this fight he would have got paid more for trash talking then doing the work you always have to keep your old family around

The Greatest Heavyweight bout of all boxing history, and LL is the most complete heavyweight boxer of all time. No man’s getting past big Len’s jab. After what MT did to Holyfield and biting big Len’s knee, I wanted big Len to hurt MT badly and throw in some illegal blows in the bargain. But to big Len’s credit, he kept his cool the entire fight and did it with the style of a true gentleman, and the spirit of a warrior on top of the world. That’s one of the reasons he’s the most complete HW boxer ever, he always kept his cool, was 100% professional, outclassed every opponent he ever faced, overcame adversities, set backs and challenges against the odds. And he made the right business minded decisions at the right times. He denied MT a rematch, to not let him get a handout. Big Len proved his status at the top of HW boxing history and didn’t need to get back into the ring with an animal like MT. He could retire and make more than enough money from his legacy and business investments. His success as only 1 of 3 undisputed HWs of all time, seals his crown. But everything else about him, is what makes him the most complete HW ever. He’s a wise, gracious and honourable human being, not naturally the most talented boxer who ever put on gloves. But as he said himself, “I’m like a fine wine that matured slowly and gets better with age.” He crafted his skills and forged his career, as perfectly as anyone could and has done. He honed his jab to be the best jab in history and he always fought as perfect a game plan in every fight as there could be. With a couple of blips that’s only human and to me made him an even better fighter, bc he could never afford to take it easy, he always had to train relentlessly and cane back stronger each time. That’s the test of a true warrior. “It’s not how much you can give, or how hard you can hit your opponent that’s most important. It’s how much you can take and keep moving forwards.” Rocky. The only fighters who are on Big Len’s level are Ali, Marciano and Usyk. Who’s yet to defend his crown as of today. If he does beat Fury again, he’ll be equal to Big Len as a complete boxer. As he’s also the undisputed cruiser champ. Big Len fought against the greats of the greatest era in boxing. So he’s still the most complete HW, even if Usyk beats Fury again, which personally I doubt highly. For reasons that I won’t divulge atm. If Usyk beats Fury and then defends his crown again once more, then he’ll be the most complete HW ever, just a thin slither above Big Len. But if they ever fought each other even now, let alone 20 years ago. We all know that Big Len would easily destroy Usyk.
Easy to see mike had already lost his will to fight. In this fight he is a shadow of his prime. Lewis would of fell like all the others if they met when mike was prime.
Stop ot Mike was 23 in his "prime" when he got completely dominated by Buster Douglas Truth is Mike was an explosive entertaining fighter but highly overrated & lost to every elite fighter he faced
@@Rayburn58because he didnt train for it and thought to easily about that fight. He was only doing drugs and partying after cus died.. yeah stupid of him but thats the real reason.
Mike's prime was a long time ago unfortunately at the time of this fight. But we can't ignore the shape Lennox was in for this fight. They are both my favorite heavyweight boxers with a little advantage to Mike
kellyoconnor;Mike said in his book that he wasn't seriously training for this fight,but instead vacationed in Jamaica and Cuba ,screwing a dozen women and smoking pounds of marijuana in the process!! This was not '86 Tyson by ANY stretch of the imagination!!!
Tyson was an old man; boxing wise at the time of this fight. It’s just like Holmes was an old man when Tyson fought him. Btw Holmes deserves more credit than he gets. Holmes was the only one that came close to tying Rocky Marciano’s record. Not Ali, Tyson, Holyfield,
Lennox is older than Tyson. Age is not excuse even though Tyson truly past of his prime on this match. All cocaine he took, lost daughter, went into prison and all scandals. While Tyson was in prison, Lennox Lewis sharpening his skill.
Mike wasn't mentally prepared to fight Lewis,Yet with Don King ripping him off didn't help at all. Mike was avoiding Lewis in the 1st place, because he didn't really wanted to fight Lewis that's why it took so long for them to make it happen.Persides that...Mike Tyson's a monster with his brutally punches and Lewis is like Ali and Hollyfield "Cool and Viscious"!
I stand to differ with many, what i see here is a nasty fight where the other fighter is allowed to hold, lean and jump over the shorter fighter. That's against the rules of boxing match. Tyson got tired because Lewis mount his heavier body over him. Look at Holmes vs Mercer, Holmes vs McCall, Tyson vs Tills, Lewis vs Mercer there were no such holding, leaning and jumping over other fighter. Lewis also did this to Holyfield2, he pushed and grabbed.
Tyson was the one jumping in & initiating the clinch all fight because he couldn't deal with Lewis's jab on the outside Mike simply got dominated everything else is an excuse
Takut? 😅😅😅 kalau Lenox melawan tyson sejak dulu karir tinjunya tyson tidak panjang umur. Sebenarnya tyson sudah habis ketika dia dihajar oleh douglas dgn KO di ronde 10. 😅😅😅
Tyson wasn’t mentally and physically ready. Tyson tried hard the 1st round but Lewis hugged and laid on Tyson until Mike gave up. Not to mentioned all the underhanded tactics Lewis used for the rest of the fight. Mike wasn’t mentally there anymore and was just waiting for the fight to be over.
In this fight, Tyson looks like he didn't have the heart for the fight.So different from the Tyson of the 80's. Sad to see someone go down the drain like this.
I've not watched all of Mike's fights, but I've seen some doozies. He's a beast. I saw this fight years ago, but watching it again, what a let down. Lennox made this look easy. If Mike brings this performance to Jake Paul, he's going to get embarrassed.
@Billyjo44 Considering Lewis was a year older than Tyson in this fight at 36 almost 37 short by 3 months and Tyson was 35, I don't think that's so easy to say. If Tyson was in his Prime, Lewis also would of been in his Prime. Lewis has a massive reach on Tyson and he's also 7 to 8 inches taller and out weighs him by 15 to 20 lbs. That tells the story right there. Tyson couldn't get near him, for Lewis it was like swatting flys with a bat, his arms are so long... ( & I'm a Big Tyson fan ) but it is what it is...
The only thing that was different is that Lewis was facing better competition than Tyson. He turned all of his losses into wins. Something Tyson could never do.
I watched this fight long ago,we waited for it bcoz of different times zone in Africa it played at 04am in the morning live,this was Mike Tyson's last fight 2002 june
This fight with Lennox Lewis was around the time Mike Tyson declared he no longer had the passion for boxing. He already had reached his goal in boxing.
I agree, the Iron man was one solid, scary man. I think he would of beat everyone.. George Foreman in his prime maybe. Or Marciano in his prime, are the only one's i can think of who would of troubled Tyson in his peak, young prime.
@boxing fan uk Because the other dude said 15 years ago. But you confirmed that Lennix Lewis wasn't even a professional boxer 15 years ago so, I thought it was a little humorous.
@@hi-dl4kw all good. you make great points.but you always have to give an all time great a chance.thats why they are more special than just good fighters
funny- i thought getting busted by Buster was Mikey's his worst performance...hard to choose between them. Mikey's "primetime" was when he was sitting in jail for rape.
That is bullshit. Louis knew what Tyson would do to his fucking ass when he caught him with that left. No thing he could do is keep holding the man to keep from being knocked out.
he was done after round 1. If tyson couldnt knock his opponents out in the first few rounds he always looked lethargic and disinterested and discouraged for the rest of the fight, even in his wins that went thr distance. I used to think due to the fact he got inside on lewis so easily in this fight and just didnt work when he did, a prime tyson would easily beat lewis, but tbh tyson was never a good inside fighter, and probably prime tyson vs lewis is just as likely to go the way of buster douglas and tyson. but could go either way, i just dont have much faith in tyson's heart even in his prime
😂 you must be new to boxing Tyson paid millions not to fight a Prime Lewis. Lennox is miles ahead of Tyson always has been. Tyson could never beat top tier boxers Tyson the most overrated boxer of all time.
He smoked bone crusher and Tucker was unbeaten in like 11 years straight leading up to that fight. Tucker fought a good fight and Tyson wasn’t throwing many combos till the last couple rounds and virtually no head movement. A lot of people ducked Tucker so acting like he was a chump is ignorant.
Mike wouldn't even get in the ring with Lewis during the 90's. it's well documented he ducked and dodged lewis for several years, was stripped of his wbc belt for refusing to fight his mandatory challener (Lewis) even paid Lewis 4 million dollars to avoid him. He was asked by a reporter if he would've beaten lewis in his prime, he replied ''I could never of beaten this guy, too big and too strong, he's a masterful boxer''... Humble??.. yes.. but also true. Hence why he avoided lewis for so long before finally accepting his one-sided beating.
Fear was one of mikes biggest punches. Putting fear into your feignts is massive as an advantage...when the mystique went. Mike followed. Also .f**k Coke for taking mike away from us. That ego giving soul stealing shit took more fighters than fists

@Yih Dzelonh unfortunately here Mike is a shell of himself. You might as well put Kevin McBride instead of Mike
@boxing fan uk Lol
@boxing fan uk Because the other dude said 15 years ago. But you confirmed that Lennix Lewis wasn't even a professional boxer 15 years ago so, I thought it was a little humorous.
People forget Tyson did Time
Was this fight from don 👑 king
When Tyson wasnt the bully he wasnt much. Just a whinner
man... mike was younger than Lewis.
lewis held alot in the early rounds if not i think tyson ko's him
What about lewis,s left hand
Count, how many time Lennox Lewis hugged Mike!! Boring fighter in the history of Boxing is Lennox Lewis
Holding after holding .That was ugly
Just like Buster, Lennox took Tyson into the deep water and watched him drown.
i say holmes in his prime would of done same thing to mike larrys jab was the best ever
@@hi-dl4kw lmao holmes had one of the greatest chins in heavyweight history. look how he took shavers best punch got up and kod him
@@hi-dl4kw all good. you make great points.but you always have to give an all time great a chance.thats why they are more special than just good fighters
Clueless casuals this was tyson worst performance is you know anything about boxing let this be prime tyson lewis wouldn't be in the water
funny- i thought getting busted by Buster was Mikey's his worst performance...hard to choose between them. Mikey's "primetime" was when he was sitting in jail for rape.
That is bullshit. Louis knew what Tyson would do to his fucking ass when he caught him with that left. No thing he could do is keep holding the man to keep from being knocked out.
This was when Tyson was washed up. 5 years earlier this would have been a match.
Tyson looked out of it the whole fight.
he was done after round 1. If tyson couldnt knock his opponents out in the first few rounds he always looked lethargic and disinterested and discouraged for the rest of the fight, even in his wins that went thr distance.
I used to think due to the fact he got inside on lewis so easily in this fight and just didnt work when he did, a prime tyson would easily beat lewis, but tbh tyson was never a good inside fighter, and probably prime tyson vs lewis is just as likely to go the way of buster douglas and tyson. but could go either way, i just dont have much faith in tyson's heart even in his prime
Lennox ducked Tyson for years….the Tyson that destroyed Spinx would have KOd Lewis in a round or two
😂 you must be new to boxing
Tyson paid millions not to fight a Prime Lewis.
Lennox is miles ahead of Tyson always has been.
Tyson could never beat top tier boxers
Tyson the most overrated boxer of all time.
This wasn't Tyson prime
He almost lost to tony tucker, and he was still fresh during that period.
And crushersmith
@@CognitoCognito-rh3bu yeah, i watched Smiths fight this evening..
Talk about Sur Hugs Alot😂😂😂
He smoked bone crusher and Tucker was unbeaten in like 11 years straight leading up to that fight. Tucker fought a good fight and Tyson wasn’t throwing many combos till the last couple rounds and virtually no head movement. A lot of people ducked Tucker so acting like he was a chump is ignorant.
Lewis would have still won
When a brawler fights bums for 5 years, then comes up against a world class boxer.
Marco Tee ...Most likely.
They were same age
The uppercuts nail Tyson when he tries to come in. Then gets nailed by ram rod jabs on the out side.
The way l see it Mike was beat before the fight began.
Tyson’s corner was paid off. The set him up for failure.
ดูไฟต์นี้แล้ว ใครๆ อย่าคิดเอาไทสันไปเทียนอาลี โฟร์แมนอีกล่ะ สงสารไทสันน่ะ โดนหนักสุดในชีวิต ลูิอิสก็อย่างโหดเลย
Very good
ENJOY IT🥰THANKS 🥰
Damn London,Lennox was born and raised in Kitchner,Ontario Canda!!! 😮
He was born in East London you fool
When i see this fight, I see a a man who was only there for the money(Tyson)
Imagine 20 year old Tyson vs 20 year old Lewis, we know who'd win that one-easily.
Who ??
Tyson, big heart. Never loose hope. God fight. Gone are the days.
53:20 AOL instant poll? You know this fight is old. Lol. Is AOL still a thing in 2024?
Nonton sampai ronde ke dua saja.. Bosen terlalu banyak peluk pelukan.. Kurang seru..
It beautiful to see Tyson going down with his Allar
234 lbs....Tyson was not in shape for this fight.
10 pounds lighter would have been much better.
That pre-fight polling was way off the mark. Those punters must have thought it was 10 years earlier.
Is this evander holyfield?
If they had fought maybe 5 yrs earlier I think Mike would have won
5 years earlier Tyson got knocked out by Holyfield. Before that he got knocked out by Douglas. Try again.
Z ysut Rua tu tbm@@thespy7795
@@thespy7795Tyson was his own worst enemy. He was all fkd up by the time he fought Douglas and beyond fkd up in the years after.
If my daughter had balls she’d be my Son 😂
Mike wouldn't even get in the ring with Lewis during the 90's. it's well documented he ducked and dodged lewis for several years, was stripped of his wbc belt for refusing to fight his mandatory challener (Lewis) even paid Lewis 4 million dollars to avoid him. He was asked by a reporter if he would've beaten lewis in his prime, he replied ''I could never of beaten this guy, too big and too strong, he's a masterful boxer''... Humble??.. yes.. but also true. Hence why he avoided lewis for so long before finally accepting his one-sided beating.
The rock Dwayne Johnson is in the crowd. 😂😂 29:51
Tyson knew half way through the first round he is going to get beaten up
Very interesting box fight!
Cette défaite ou une autre ne changera mon affection et mon admiration pour Mike c'est un personnage attachant ❤
If mike wasn't in prison and out of boxing for 4 years, i wonder if they would have met back then? It could have been a different fight.
Jaymey Johnson ...Tyson wasn't incarcerated for four years.
Tyson started developing bad ring habits after D'Amato passed away.
@@suiken3149
Cus passed away in '85 a few months into Mike's 1st year as a pro.
Mike Tyson said I'm glad you gave me a chance, an I'm glad that lewis won 😂. As he wasn't scared of mike Tyson 😂.
Fear was one of mikes biggest punches. Putting fear into your feignts is massive as an advantage...when the mystique went. Mike followed. Also .f**k Coke for taking mike away from us. That ego giving soul stealing shit took more fighters than fists
