Does a Prime Mike Tyson beat a Prime Lennox Lewis?

What are your thoughts on this?

A prime Mike Tyson was able to utilize his incredible quickness to get inside and damage the biggest of opponents.

A prime Lennox Lewis was arguably the greatest SUPER Heavyweight in terms of being able to fight tall. Post Steward, Lewis was a master of controlling distance, utilizing a great jab and one of the best 1,2s the sport has seen. He dropped that right hand down on shorter opponents so beautifully. Also, Lewis knew how to throw the upper cut. The biggest question mark would be if Lewis could take Tyson's power.

Who wins?

Lewis would always win in my opinion.Lewis is a year older than Tyson so he had no advantage of being the younger man when he KOed Tyson.

Tyson would most definitely use his feet to be fleet footed and dance circles around Lennox.

I picked Tyson cos a prime Tyson was a BEAST. A mad man who wants to hurt.

Even though Lewis was a great boxer, I see Tyson's speed letting him come in and landing his punches.

50/50 fight.

The prison version that Lennox beat was not even a 1/4 of the real Tyson.

Lewis knocks Mike Tyson out cold. Tyson had an incredibly tough time with tall, big, rangy heavyweights.

Lewis was the best of that era. I understand people love to make Tyson this invincible monster, but he would get slept by Lewis.

Of course he had a punchers chance but Lewis was a much better fighter.
