I don't understand why such a big deal is being made about Lewis's range and jab. There are ways to negate that advantage and Tyson could do that better than anyone with the slipping, bob and weave and peekaboo. Tyson was aggressive enough to where Lewis's elbows would stay bent due to Tyson being in his face working the body while stalking him around the ring. Lewis never faced that and that would be his downfall.

Just about every fighter that Tyson faced had a longer reach than him. Made no difference -- Tyson's power and speed nullified any reach advantage that his opponent had.

He KO'd his first pro opponent with a fricking jab that's why.
