1. At their absolute peak, I think Lennox Lewis would have won by late knockout or Tyson would have won by unanimous decision. The reason because Lennox Lewis for the second half of his career after hiring Emmanuel Steward improved drastically and had a high ring iq. But Tyson’s intense and high output approach for the first half of the bout would keep him ahead as Lewis is always defending and not initiating any attack potential in the mix. Lewis keeps away from the jab or uses lateral movement and by the second half if he doesn’t get knocked out and make Tyson tired. Lewis would set out uppercuts and overhand right combinations along with hooks and sent Tyson the ropes. Tyson gets hit by a clean shot and gets put down in the 10th or 11th round. The reason why I think Tyson would win by unanimous decision is because I know Lewis wouldn’t be knocked out early, but his offensive output is too low because he’s always moving. But when Tyson gets tired in the 7th or 8th round Lewis might be behind on the scorecards and unable to stop or knock out Tyson, then Tyson’s aggression and output would win him the fight. But I think I give Lewis the edge by late stoppage somewhere in the 11th round having been behind the scores. Overall 54% Lennox Lewis, 46%Mike Tyson
