Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Impressed, Views Anthony Joshua as New Boxing King

[The plunger man]

Mike Tyson is a hater : hated on Floyd Mayweather, hated on Deontay Wilder ; hates on the lighter weights. Like Deontay said hes a jealous old man thats afraid of being forgotten...and the worst part is he dont support his fellow Americans.

Scumbag rapist, sold out boxing for UFC.

Hahaha salty 1hour bum lol...look Tyson is a student of the game and he knows wilder is chicken legged noodle who will fold like a pack of cards against aj ....bummmm squaddddddd

We all know that now hearn has a cash cow they will be very selective who they fight im not saying joshua is scared of anyone just that hearn is going to milk him and know UK fans will pay to watch him vs anyone because they just want to get drunk and see a brutal KO

I also read the article with Iron mikes voice in my head

[Drew Bundini Br]

Why doesn't he? Can't fight for peanuts. Unless you think he needs to go to the UK

WILDER gets 4mil per fight and ratings are high in the USA when he fights. Any fight fan would want to see WILDER/JOSHUA tomorrow. This is a no brainer.

[Drew Bundini Br]

Look folks,JOSHUA fought BRAZEALE who can't sell out his high school gymnasium. A WILDER fight sells out in 1 day anywhere on the planet !!

Yes if he calls the shots on who and when he fights. If he let's his promoter do that it will hurt him.

bro, people struggle in fights wilder toyed with him until he got tired and KOed him. hes 6'7 started boxing late his fights are not going to be the most technical fights... Wilders resume isn't the best but nobody resume at HW is anything to brag about. Wlad has been on the shelf and is past it. its a good win for AJ but he still needs to work on a few things as does wilder. there are not any big names at HW, as everyone who matters is just now getting established. Wilder was on the right path opponent wise with Provtk but we all know what happened. Not liking wilder is one thing but not taking all these things into consideration is just unfair. the man is not a bum respect the sport/

Nailed it. Build his name up, against who? Schedule the fight and get it over with.

I think Hearn ideally would want wilder to build himself up in the us a bit more so they could make this a ppv fight over there. Wilder just needs to stop fighting bums and unappealing match ups and he couldn't make himself some real money.

I'd even be happy to watch him fight someone like jarell miller at this point

I see you're trolling lol

Wilder's purses since Stiverne:
Stiverne - 1 million
1.4
1.5
1.4
1.4
Washington - 900k

He was supposed to get $4 million for the Povetkin fight (due to a forced bid to fight in Russia) and got a decision (the amount wasn't disclosed) b/c of the drug issue. Stop playing rolls like he's making bank. He probably has one big pay day.

And his ratings on network TV have been poor in comparison to the other PBC prime time cards. He's by far the lowest performer. I have the numbers too, if you need a breakdown.

He needs to build his following.

It's like people on this board never learn there lesson. This **** reminds me of Garcia-Matthysse. Everyone claims the guy is scared and will be KO'd and then......well we know how that story goes.

Joshua earned a record payday against Wlad because of his promoter and how he's been built over the previous 18 fights.
