Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Says His Ring Career is Unknown To Today's Youth

[1hourRun]

Troll??? Since I am on your 'ignore list' go toss yourself, you sound about as co herent and as bright as the fella in your profile pic. You called DWilder a 'world champion' that is laughable.

I was trolling you back! you old farts dont even know what that means. So whos the champ? Fury? that fraud steroid cheat? Wilder has done everything he is suppose to do as champion he cant be punished for the actions of these cheaters! The hate is unreasonable but maybe if he was European he get some sympathy! like this board reacted to Pedvetkin and now Fury ; they are quick to defend them and justify everything they do...then blame Wilder when hes following the rules and whos career has been put on hold and even suffered an injury over Pedvetkins action! F.U! who has the agenda?

I agree. Im a Wilder fan and was looking forward to seeing him in there with Povetkin. Wilders resume, like GGGs, is lacking some of the names that would really show his talent. I was disappointed when the fight was called off, and happy when WBC announced Povetkin v Stiverne for the mandatory spot. Hopefully Wilder can show us all soon that he is the man at HW.

Frankly, like you said, I think Wilder seemed quick to pull the plug on that fight. Im not sure if it was Povetkin himself or the thought of fighting in Russia, but he didn't hesitate to cancel, not postpone, the fight.

Oh man, you mentioned GGG, that is a very sensitive subject on these forums! Personally I think GGG's resume is more legit then DW. Atleast he has wins over tougher MW's like Stevens and Lemieux, DW does not have anyone special comparable to those 2 on his CV?

Believe me, with a screen name like Gloveking, I know just how touchy a subject he is around here, lol.

I think the two of them are pretty much in the same boat. Like you, I give GGG the slight edge resume-wise, but it's not like Fury or Joshua or anyone has been beating down Wilders door to get a shot at him. That's part of the reason I was looking forward to him fighting Sasha. That would give him some credibility. I was disappointed when Deontay fought Chris Arreola. Id much rather see him in there with an Ortiz, or Miller, at least. Hopefully soon, he'll get a good name in the ring and show the world what he's got

Youre a clown Stiverne was #6! in the world when Wilder beat him then you got Malik Scott currently @ 10 in the world and I can keep going with guys like Duhuapas, Drummer Boy who are top twenty in the world...Tyson Fury can even get one defense out the way! and Joshua hasnt even beat a legit threat!

Yea whats going on with Ortiz, last December I drove to Turning Stone [its about 5 hr drive from T.O.] and I saw him annhilate Jennings, going into it I thought that was a 50-50 fight boy was I wrong...it just seems whatever momentum a fighter creates these days is spoiled by network politics, money, drugs, whatever, its so common these days look at Garcia , what a waste, and even Thurman who should have had something booked by now after the great match with Porter. The so called top guys dont even fight

Lost like a coward to holyfield and never beat any great fighters! Hype job of the century = tyson!

True to be honest. Holyfield was the superior fighter and will be remembered by boxing historians but Tyson got the media attention for biting ears and saying ****** things.

Long term fame and short term fame are very different. Nobody will know who the **** jerry springer and the kardasians etc are 100 years from now. Easy come easy go.

I saw Ortiz at the Garden on the Golovkin-Lemieux card and was really impressed with him. I've been disappointed at his recent promotional issues because I think he is a top tier HW. I hope he gets back in the ring soon. Same with Thurman. After an awesome fight with Porter, he's been quiet.

Nice. MSG is one place I would like to see a card. There are no high profile fights held here, in Toronto our closest options are Turning Stone or Montreal, I saw Kova-Pascal I there, great atmosphere in Montreal over 12 000 fans chanting JEAN, JEAN, JEAN, it was unreal but it didn't help him...

You had to create an Alt to say that? you cant even argue your position - Stiverne was a former wold champion! and is ranked next along with Pedvetkin in a eliminator so how is he low level? you suck!
