      'Prime' Tyson was pre-Douglas Tyson which means pre-Feb 1990 Tyson. Well, Lewis turned pro in June 89 and although he had 7 fights in that 7 month period, by the time Tyson lost in Japan, Lewis was still fightin in leisure centres; untelevised bouts for which he was probably paid about 10 thousand a go. I’d be fascinated to know where a fledgling heavy who was still 7 fights from competing for his first title of any sort got those millions to pay the world heavyweight champion (Tyson) to avoid him!!!
      Back in 1996, Lewis was on the comeback trail following his shock KO defeat to Oliver McCall, which cost him his WBC heavyweight title.
      McCall had since lost the belt to Frank Bruno who was then knocked out by Tyson.
      At this point, Lewis was in line for a shot at his old crown and took legal action to force his opportunity.
      The New Jersey Supreme Court blocked Tyson’s plan to fight WBA champion Bruce Seldon, insisting that he must first face Lewis
      As a result, the two camps worked out a deal which saw the Brit receive a payment of $4million to allow Tyson vs Seldon to take place.
      Ultimately Tyson stopped Seldon in one round, claimed the WBA belt and then vacated the WBC, which Lewis won back in his rematch with McCall.
      Eventually, when the pair did meet in 2002, Lewis dominated and KOd Tyson.
      Lennox Lewis was the one everyone wanted to avoid at all cost. He was the the guy they all ducked be it through crooked ranking bodies or promoters protecting their fighters.

Tyson was the product of careful matchmaking. He never fought Ibeabuchi, Bowe or Holyfield in his prime. He ducked Lewis and even refused to fight Foreman.

      Tucker fought Lennox Lewis - the only fighter to ever drop him - in 1993, for the vacant WBC title.
      This was after Riddick Bowe won a decision over Holyfield, and Lewis had knocked out Razor Ruddock - the 2 were supposed to meet.
      But Riddick Bowe wanted no part of Lennox Lewis, and instead fought Michael Dokes and Jesse Ferguson, rather than give Lewis a title shot.
      So, the WBC stripped Bowe of the title, and Lennox Lewis squared off against Tony Tucker for the vacated belt.

    Having the skill, experience and also the necessary power, to trouble Tyson, in the earlier rounds, was something that few other boxers were able to do.

      Soft spoken Lennox Lewis at his best was the total package. When he fought seriously he was pretty much untouchable. The last undisputed Super Heavyweight champion emerged as cream of the crop against some of the biggest punchers in Heavyweight history.
      Lewis avenged his only two defeats by knockout. He didn't make excuses for his only two losses, he said, "It's Heavyweights, you can get caught, but i won the rematches in style," and, "Show me a Heavyweight Champion without a loss and i'll show you a fighter that fought a lot of nobodies."
      57 year old Lennox is the GOAT. To hear him talk so clearly and eloquently after going up against 18 Heavyweight Champions is remarkable.
      The 18 HW Champions Lewis faced: Vitali Klitschko, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, Frank Bruno, Tony Tucker, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall, Mike Weaver, Henry Akinwande, Tommy Morrison and Ray Mercer were later recognized as WBO champions, British HW champion Gary Mason, European HW champion Jean Chanet, Commonwealth HW champion Derek Williams, Canada HW champion Razor Ruddock, IBF/WBF HW champion Michael Grant, and WBC International HW champion David Tua...*[[ technically not all were 'World' champions but champions nonetheless ]]. Other notable mentions; Olympic HW Gold medalist Tyrell Briggs, Andrew Golota, Zeljko Mavrovic, Frans Botha and Phil Jackson.

    Tyson fought with a combination of skill, talent, discipline and power. He was the most formidable boxer of the generation.

Something I always appreciated about Tyson was that he would give honest reviews of his opponents before and after a fight. It seems that nowadays ego gets in the way of that.

If he had just landed a few more clean shots in this fight it could have been a W for him. Buster Douglas really took what Tucker did well in this fight and amplified it, finally finding a way to topple Tyson. Tucker really deserves to not be one of those boxers just forgotten to time. If he had been in another era that didn't have all time greats like Tyson, Holyfield, and Lewis he could have had a monster career.

Well, Lewis turned pro in June 89 and although he had 7 fights in that 7 month period, by the time Tyson lost in Japan, Lewis was still fightin in leisure centres; untelevised bouts for which he was probably paid about 10 thousand a go. I’d be fascinated to know where a fledgling heavy who was still 7 fights from competing for his first title of any sort got those millions to pay the world heavyweight champion (Tyson) to avoid him!!!
      Back in 1996, Lewis was on the comeback trail following his shock KO defeat to Oliver McCall, which cost him his WBC heavyweight title.
      McCall had since lost the belt to Frank Bruno who was then knocked out by Tyson.
      At this point, Lewis was in line for a shot at his old crown and took legal action to force his opportunity.
      The New Jersey Supreme Court blocked Tyson’s plan to fight WBA champion Bruce Seldon, insisting that he must first face Lewis
      As a result, the two camps worked out a deal which saw the Brit receive a payment of $4million to allow Tyson vs Seldon to take place.
      Ultimately Tyson stopped Seldon in one round, claimed the WBA belt and then vacated the WBC, which Lewis won back in his rematch with McCall.
      Eventually, when the pair did meet in 2002, Lewis dominated and KOd Tyson.
      Lennox Lewis was the one everyone wanted to avoid at all cost. He was the the guy they all ducked be it through crooked ranking bodies or promoters protecting their fighters. He is without question a top 5 Heavyweight imo.

      Another horribly dumb comment in the same string of comments no less lmao. Tyson and Cus are a dream match. There has never been another fighter with such natural gifts to fight a Cus style. Tyson was pitbull built, extremely quick feet, strong, and most of all quick with the dips. He could swim without getting wet, all at heavyweight. He was smaller, but made even that grand detriment a strength. No idea why I'm even responding to a retard that doesn't even know his name is "Cus" though 😂

    9:50-10:05 Lewis vs Tucker is one example that showed Lewis's chin was not made of glass like many people said. He took some Tucker's best punches and stood still. He even became the 1st man who knocked down Tucker for the 1st time.

      What rise again? He lost to Douglas, went to prison, won a title, won a title through a fighter diving, vacated his legitimate title to avoid Lennox lewis, and then got his arse handed to him by Evander.
      In all of the 1990s, he was champion for a year total. He never successfully defended a title in the 90s
      It was a frankly pathetic second title reign

    When I hear Mike Tyson say "he was intimidating" I know he's just had a tough fight!
    For him to get into Mike's head!
    That was usually what won Tyson his fights. *KNOWING* he was going to smash through whatever was in front of him!
    But this guy got in his head, which would have definitely taken some of his confidence. Which is why we didn't see Iron Mike unleashing hell on this guy's body with fast, devastating blows!
    You can lose a fight before you start if someone is inside your head enough.
    And even Mike Tyson had his doubts as shown here.
    It's nice to know he wasn't actually a T-800.
