Tucker received his mandatory with wins over McCall & Norris, had lost just one fight & never tasted the canvas, yet despite Lewis decking him twice & winning a unanimous decision, he received no credit whatsoever for this victory. It shows more about a fighter having to grit out a win, as opposed to knocking out a cotton wool opponent inside a round & the odd criticism aside, this was a good victory for Lewis.

@@Ehrle6969 From Boxrec fight report in his interview, "My right hand was broken when I fought him. I knew Tyson couldn’t beat me ..." He fought Tyson on 1987-08-01 and took two years to (I reckon) heal his broken hand. His next fight was on 1989-12-12 and went on unbeaten for 14 fights including the win against Oliver McCall. This Tucker version is definitely not his peak but not too far from the peak imo as there is tradeoff between power and experience. As for the Tyson's what-ifs, I don't have any opinion because it is gonna be an endless debate. But I am quite sure that Lewis will never fear him and that is the most decisive factor in fighting peak Tyson.

The commentators don't like Tucker only because he's patient...they want a crowd-pleaser like Tyson. But fortunately for him he does what he knows he needs to do instead of what the talking heads think. Then Lewis demonstrated real maturity in not getting frustrated and going all out. Maybe not the most exciting fight but at the end of the day it's about winning, not entertaining.

Tucker was underrated, his stoppage over an in shape Douglas and taking a peak Tyson the distance proved his worth.

Tucker was 34 when he fought Lewis & was coming off wins over McCall & Norris, which is what gave him his mandatory position, he wasn't quite the fighter who'd faced Tyson but was still a formidable opponent, whereas Lewis was green and a work in progess & hadn't yet developed into the fighter he was to become, they were both at different stages of their careers.

This is one of the worst heavyweight bouts ever fought, no footwork or combination punches or body punches from either boxer, the Lennox era was oppornustic & not worth of recognition

Lewis was still green & developing as a boxer, Tucker was his mandatory based on victories over McCall & Norris & was never going to be an easy fight for Lewis. The 90's was regarded as the last golden era in heavyweight boxing & Lewis is ranked within the heavyweight pantheon top ten, having amassed 15 successful world title defences, retiring on a win at 38.

Same entry music Lewis used for Holyfield--very soothing I must say...It's hard to compare 2 fighters just by looking at them, but Lewis--for as big as he was--seems to be in the same speed ballpark as Larry Holmes. And, in Larry's young years/prime VS Lennox's young years/prime, Lennox was much bigger. It's scary when a fighter is that big, is that fast, has great KO power, was the best cutting puncher of all time, and was one of the greatest power counterpunchers of all time(if his 2 counter-uppercuts connected, it meant that it was over--never saw anyone come close to getting up from those)!

@@ScottHendrix-yz3du You never know with boxers. Even those that did not have power could have -> even AIi had a body of brass and his chin was a good bit better than it was earlier. Cooper got him down with a left hook in the 4th round(when Henry had only landed a few big punches before that and AIi was almost gone, too). However, Frazier hit him over and over again and dropped him once in the 15th round. AIi got up and took some incredible punches after the knockdown! Both AIi and Frazier could have been! If you gave them truth serum, what would you find out?! Maybe that's an idea?! But, you never know when the trainer is dirty like that or it's the boxer! Or who knows what?! Once heard Lou Duva was dirty like that and wasn't he close to both Marciano and Holyfield? You never know who is complicit unless you have a smoking gnn(Holyfield supposedly called to acquire some and was caught)...

@@pattrell5257 I definitely agree. If you find it watch Ali in his corner after being knocked down by Cooper. 😂 you can actually watch the moment he regained consciousness from the smelling salts. Dun Dee admitted to using the glove trick to distract the ref and by time. The cameras is in his face because they know Ali is punch drunk. His corner is franticly waving the towel faning him , putting Ice water on his head and doing smelling salts. 😂 Ali still jumps up before the bell and they have to pull him down because Ali isn't sure what's happening. He was definitely saved by the bell but Ali did have absolutely amazing ability to take punishment. I honestly don't think Lennox could have beaten Ali at his best because of that. As far as roids holyfield is definitely one of my favorite but it was said steroids were mailed to his address and his former trainer called them VITAMINS. 😂 He would say before holyfield got on the vitamiiiiins he thought holy field was better. 😉. Vitamins is code for roids. Lennox was a been pole to big look at holyfield below. He isn't know bigger than ezzard Charles and ezzard Charles wasn't just all natural he literally chewed his food and spit it out like Rocky Marciano did. Rocky learned it from ezzard Charles. Rocky walked around at about 200 lbs but those guys new they hit hard and they wanted more speed and stamina. images.app.goo.gl/ABRVwhyitjqKq75D8

From what I've learned all these years is most pro ranked fighters all use roids at some point. To much competition, to many doing it and it's easy to cheat.

That one commentator was either ignorant to what a "blow to the top of the head" is in boxing or just reluctant as hell to give Lewis any credit for the win. Both commentators were quick to piss on either fighter though.

On the contrary, Lewis had just knocked out Ruddock inside two rounds, who at the time was the WBC mandatory & was awarded the belt when Bowe refused to fight him, his first defence was against Tony Tucker, another mandatory, who was given his shot based on wins over McCall & Norris, Lewis was never a known ducker & would always try to make fights.

For sure as their careers went along Tyson lost a bit of speed and didn't have much to fall back on; Lewis just got better and better under Steward.
