Tucker received his mandatory with wins over McCall & Norris, had lost just one fight & never tasted the canvas, yet despite Lewis decking him twice & winning a unanimous decision, he received no credit whatsoever for this victory. It shows more about a fighter having to grit out a win, as opposed to knocking out a cotton wool opponent inside a round & the odd criticism aside, this was a good victory for Lewis.

[@kalas2320]

Yes, I think this is another great win by Lewis. When he fought Tyson, his right hand was broken. Probably, this is the better and more experienced version of Tucker.

[@Ehrle6969]

@@kalas2320 tuckers hand was hurt not broken, this tucker was out of Prime. Tyson fought Prime Tucker. U see here clearly if lewis met tyson before he went to jail lewis would get oneshoted with ease.

[@kalas2320]

@@Ehrle6969 From Boxrec fight report in his interview, "My right hand was broken when I fought him. I knew Tyson couldn’t beat me ..." He fought Tyson on 1987-08-01 and took two years to (I reckon) heal his broken hand. His next fight was on 1989-12-12 and went on unbeaten for 14 fights including the win against Oliver McCall. This Tucker version is definitely not his peak but not too far from the peak imo as there is tradeoff between power and experience. As for the Tyson's what-ifs, I don't have any opinion because it is gonna be an endless debate. But I am quite sure that Lewis will never fear him and that is the most decisive factor in fighting peak Tyson.

What are you talking about? Mike Tyson isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Lenox Lewis, how insulting is this comment really?

[@frankspencer-zk6ef]

Talk TRUTH for once in your lives Yanks. Since when did ANYONE call a boxer who was known to have ducked both the best boxers of his era, ever be seen as a great former boxer? Tyson ducked both Lewis while he was Champion, and he ducked Riddick Bowe completely. How can he be a great while knowing that? Tyson ducked both Lewis while he was Champion, and he ducked Riddick Bowe completely. Yet both of whom nobody could even begin to argue with, were much better than Mike Tyson ever was. And Tyson ducked both??. How can you call him anything like great knowing that? It's commonly known as bullshit.

This is one of the worst heavyweight bouts ever fought, no footwork or combination punches or body punches from either boxer, the Lennox era was oppornustic & not worth of recognition

[@isabellamcloughlan6082]

Lewis was still green & developing as a boxer, Tucker was his mandatory based on victories over McCall & Norris & was never going to be an easy fight for Lewis. The 90's was regarded as the last golden era in heavyweight boxing & Lewis is ranked within the heavyweight pantheon top ten, having amassed 15 successful world title defences, retiring on a win at 38.

It's difficult to know which was the best of the 2. They were nearly on the same level and it could go either way. I have the feeling that Riddick Bowe would have won because he was a bit more skillful and took the punch better but Lennox Lewis was very intelligent and hit harder.
