I remember back then people felt Tyson was going to murder Lewis but then was reduced to saying he wasn't in his prime, Tyson hadn't lost in five years when they fought and Lewis was year older

He is 6'5 240/250lbs and at 33 to 36 I believe no heavyweight could of beat him. Just the demographics of his bodies anatomy. He could do it all. And he was viscous but composed, a deadly specimen. He may not of been culturally flamboyant in terms of his affect on the media. But in the ring, the boxing fraternity knows he is the best.
