Mike Tyson proves he’s still got lightning speed and big power in the boxing ring at 56 years of age

Tyrell Biggs Predicts Prime Tyson vs Prime Lewis

Biggs fought and lost to both of the heavyweight greats

Former heavyweight title challenger, Tyrell Biggs, fought and lost to both Tyson and Lewis during his career, but he has no doubts about who would have won the fight in their heyday.

Biggs said to Ring Magazine: "I'd have to go with Tyson. Tyson was in a different mindset in the 80s. No question.”

Biggs defeated Lewis when the two met at the 1984 Olympics, but when the pair met for their professional contest in 1991, the American was outclassed by the Brit.

While it took Tyson several rounds to dispatch Biggs, Lennox needed just three as he continued to build his claim for a title shot.

Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis in 2002

Mike was past him best, and Lewis won the fight

When Tyson and Lewis met in 2002, the contest began with both throwing heavy punches, but the aging American began to fade as the bout continued to the later stages. Lewis floored Iron Mike twice in the eighth round before he was counted out by the referee, which put a stop to proceedings in one of heavyweight boxing’s most engaging rivalries.

However, former boxing promotor Bobby Goodman might say otherwise after he claimed Tyson was too scared to face George Foreman when the two were once destined to meet.

Lewis, of course, would disagree with Biggs' comments, as all prize-fighters would, and would say that Tyson feels the same way about him as he did with Foreman.
