Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Checks Wilder For Saying He'd Destroy Mike Tyson

[alexjust]

I honestly believe Lennox Lewis on his best day could beat an heavyweight in history

As long as V.Klitschko wasn't on his best day.

[Steven Mccowan]

I love wilder. But aint no way he could beat even post prison tyson. Took lots of patience and rangy boxing ability to beat him. To be honest tyson could probably beat him now lol.

[Steven Mccowan]

No im not being a hater. Stiverne isnt that good . Just because he was high in the rankings doesnt mean he was the HW division has been terrible for years. Its not like he was ranked #1 in a competitive division with nothing but elite fighters.

The HW division is a ****show other than like 3 fighters. You desperately want to believe wilder beat an elite opponent so you keep propping up stiverne saying " he was ranked #1 doe, he solid doe"

Also lol @ "he held a prestigious title". Just because he held vitalis vacated WBC belt doesnt mean anything.

These kinda guys are funny. Complain about the corruption etc in the organisations and then use these same rankings in order to try and defend a fighter lol. Stiverne at that. Stiverne is a bum and got beaten like a bum plain and simple. Anyone who try and defend stiverne as some great fighter is crazy and needs no attention

I'm sorry that you find the facts upsetting, but the facts are what they are. ESPN, Ring, TBRB and many others had Stiverne #2 or #3 in the world before he fought Wilder the first time. There are 7 billion people on Earth. I'd say being #2 qualifies you as "one of the best."




He's obviously overdue for another big win, but he signed to fight Povetkin (in Russia no less!) and he signed to fight King Kong. They both cheated. That is not Wilder's fault. His actions show that he wants to fight the best. He's giving King Kong another chance. No other heavyweight champion was going out of their way to face King Kong, let alone in a voluntary defense.

Stop being a hater. Through no fault of his own, Wilder only has one signature win and it was three years ago. He's taking a big chance, making a voluntary against the #1 ranked non-champion in boxing right now (the other champions are unavailable). There's literally nothing else Wilder can do right now other than fight the best contender and then try to unify.

You guys still whining and moaning must have horrible lives. The four best heavyweights in the world, all of whom are undefeated, are fighting each other in March, yet some still find reasons to complain. It's pathetic.

I'm not whining and I'm not a hater. I would say the same about you for your meager attempt at justifying Wilder's provocations about how much of a legend and world beater he is when he hasn't done anything to prove it yet and was allowed to fight bum after bum and still retain his phony title. Adonis Stevenson is no different. Having a top 10 ranking in any given boxing commission does NOT mean you are a legitimate top 10 contender.
You are a phony, fraud, and a bureaucratic stooge to blindly accept whatever the governing bodies deem as their top ranked boxers. You are doing a disservice to boxing by saying Wilder's opponents are high caliber because they are ranked high in the WBC. You are delusional if you think individual rankings have any correlation whatsoever on the actual top 10 boxers in any given division.

Here are the current WBC heavyweight rankings to prove my point:

1 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) SILVER
2 .- Dominic Breazeale (US)
3 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba)
4 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria)
5 .- Tony Bellew (GB)
6 .- Johann Duhaupas (France)
7 .- Charles Martin (US)
8 .- Agit Kabayel (Germany) EBU
9 .- Oscar Rivas (Colombia/Canada) NABF
10 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)

If this was any sort of legitimate list, more than half of these fringe contenders at best wouldn't even be there.
You are delusional if you accept these rankings as legitimate.

[theface07]

Who cares. They have all types of cans rated highly all over the place in boxing.

The guy is a bureaucratic clown who blindly accepts whoever his masters (governing bodies) deem to be top 10. He apparently has some sort of connection to them and bows down to them at all times, regardless of how corrupt, inept or ridiculous their rankings are. He knows nothing about boxing other than what the governing bodies tell him.

It's a legitimate list of the top ten heavyweight contenders currently fighting for the WBC.

Sanctioning bodies rank the fighters pursuing their titles. They don't rank fighters that aren't fighting for their organization. WBC, WBA, IBF or WBO rankings are not ranking for the entire world of boxing. They are rankings for that individual organization and the fighters currently fighting for that organization.

Last I checked, the seedings for the NBA playoffs only included teams playing in the NBA.

I wonder how much coke Wilder was on when he said this.

[RapidSon]

At 20years he was world champ, that is a hell lot of achievement. At 20, you most probably was still living with mummy, rent free of course.

I said good Heavyweight not who had the earliest title shot there's difference and nope I had my own pad by then.

[Yaconcha]

I can and have watched the fights on youtube. Watching a fight that occurred on live TV 30+ years ago doesn't give you some sort of credibility, it's called nostalgia.

12 count, I really don't care for excuses, shyt happens in the boxing ring and in life. The bottom line is Tyson lost. If Tyson can't put away Mitch Green how's he going to put away Wilder who can actually punch? It usually took Tyson accumulation punches when he stepped up and even then there were guys he did not knock out.

You have no point here, example: Marcus maidana Is a puncher but couldn’t knock Khan out and Khan......you know the rest so your point is? Read the post again starting with your original one.

[Yaconcha]

Tyson was 24 years when Buster beat him - that is not old. Indiscipline is not an excuse for his losses. He was always lacking discipline. He said that in many interviews. Tyson did not win because of boxing abilities - he won because of his power and intimidation. Enough with the excuses.

i never said his age was relevant. Furthermore, I said he lacked discipline in my post along with the fear he impregnated in every heavy weight at the time of his reign dum dum.
Stop stealing my 5heeit.
