This is completely incorrect.

Lennox Lewis was still an amateur when Tyson was in his prime.
has no bearing that Lewis was the superior fighter. Lewis would have beat him anyday of the week.
When Tyson was lining up chumps like Carl Williams Buster Douglas,Henry Tillman and Alex Stewart. Tyson had to fight Razor Ruddock twice to earn a definitive win and went the distance with him. Lewis was the rising star in HW divison. He took out Ruddock with ease. Don King wanted no part of Lewis. Everyone inside the boxing world was afraid of Lennox.

Dude, are we talking about Tyson in his prime, or Tyson as he was during the Ruddock fights?
Nobody in the boxing world was afraid of Lennox Lewis in 1988 because he wasn't even a goddamn professional yet. Jesus Christ.

To put Lennox Lewis in the same category as Tyson in his prime is preposterous.
Lewis was not as "feared" as you insinuate... he got KO'd by Oliver McCall, for Christ's sake.
Lewis owned the HW division during his tenure, only because there were no others great HWs.
