Tank is way sloppy even compared to Lewis. Easy win for Lewis. No 90s fighter would fare well today.
Funny thing is you have a Reem Display pic and Reem was fighting in the 90s too lol and he is on a nice run in the modern ufc hw divisionNot 90s Hendo and Vitor, but late 2000s Hendo and 2013 TRT Vitor yes. Carlos Newton is much too one dimensional as is Matt Hughes.

I'd rather see what would happen if you put Francis Ngannu vs John Matua. Would the art of bone breaking work? Lol
I don't get how people don't realize that 99% of the fighters back then took Karate classes on weekends or nothing at all. Fighters now train multiple disciplines constantly. Lewis could look like a bjj expert against Tank if he wanted.To be fair, Tank built his legend off of fighting usually lesser skilled and smaller fighters. He was smoked in his UFC comeback.
Tank had decent skills for the standards of his times, and huge, raw strenght and power.
But still lost to every single top fighter of the period.
He was both slow as fuck and easily tiring.
Lewis wastes him, not a fair comparison though.
I do agree about Vitor and Hendo, they are the exception tho. Newton is one of my all time favs but sadly he would not do well in todays game. His wrestling was weak and his standup pretty horrible.Disagree hendo, vitor, carlos newton i think would all fare well
But he was fighting then.Reem was literally a teenager until 2000.
Way to over analyze a fact.Yeah but that version of Reem is not the same as todays Reem or 2000s Reem. Just like the Hendo and Vitor of the 90s didnt have the skill set they developed later in life.
You can't attach all the things they learned to their 90s bodies and say they would smash.
The sport evolved and they evolved with it. I doubt 19yr old Vitor could beat 2016 vitor if I'm honest.
