The Fight Was A Mismatch (Tyson vs. Lewis)
It was a mismatch in size. Lewis, the leader of the new breed of super-heavyweight, nearly six and a half feet tall, nearly 250 pounds, a wing span over seven feet from fingertip to fingertip. Tyson half a foot shorter, 15 pounds smaller, his wingspan shy of Lewis' by a foot.
It was a mismatch of eras. Lewis dominates the current heavyweight division -- his biggest wins having taken place in the last three years. Mike Tyson dominated in the late-'80s. His prime was nearly 15 years ago.

“ There's no way I could ever beat him. He's just too big and too strong. He's a magnificent, a prolific fighter, and he should continue fighting. I love him and respect him too much to do something to him.'' ”
— Mike Tyson
