Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: Deontay Wilder Could Beat Me? I Don't Think So!

[sotgoda]

Tyson's 1st set of opponents are listed below:

1. Hector Mercedes: final record of 1 win 10 losses (0-3 record before Tyson)

2. Trent Singleton 1 - 4 final record (1-3 record before Tyson)

Tyson outweighed his 1st 2 opponents by about 15 pounds, FYI...

3. Don Halpin 10 - 23 final record (10 - 18 record before Tyson)

4. Ricardo Spain 2 - 23 final record (1 - 0 record before Tyson); outweighed by 30+ pounds by Tyson.

5. John Alderson 6 -1 final record (3 - 0 before Tyson); he outweighed Tyson.

6. Larry Sims 3 - 19 final record (3 - 16 before Tyson)..

I could go on but it is not necessary. Check out boxrec and see the details yourself.

Ultimately, these are the people he fought. If Wilder fights these same guys - you call him a bum beater. But Tyson's opponents were worse. He outweighed over half of them too (I counted 20 or so out of his 1st 32 opponents) and their combined records until about mid 1985 or so.

Now, no one on Tyson's record has the height and reach of Wilder; neither the foot speed and agility. Don't write back ****** stuff before performing your analysis. The closest to Wilder's physical dimensions were:

Tony Tucker (6'5" and 82 inches) - went to UD;
Mitch Green (6'5" and 82 inches) - also went to UD;

These are the facts. They are not made up or opinions. Numbers don't lie. Based on these facts, my inference is that he will struggle with taller, rangier fighters.

Also, for this world beater 'Tyson' compare his records and the people he fought too against those that Wilder fought. Was Tyson also a bum-beater?

Most heavyweights of those days will be cruiserweights at best in this era. So, enough with the crap talk about Tyson demolishing Wilder. I expect some ****** responses as well from non-objective folks. Provide data to back up your assertion - not BS.

Who gives a **** if Wilder runs his mouth. He’s the one who has to fight. All most of you bytches do on here is talk shyt and none of y’all can fight for shyt.

Lmfao lol...

Joshua fanatics love this kinda **** to get you to love Joshua and dislike Wilder.

Very good post.

[Madison Boxing]

Tyson was overrated but he'd beat the living crap out of wilder. Clean crisp punches vs windmills.

Wilder being Wild?? That never happens right?!

Tyson being good at closing on people, gee he wasn't known for that at all...

Your own post makes it obvious why Tyson would be favored against this guy.

Unlike real giants with devastating jabs that could keep Tyson at bay (maybe) AJ, Klitschko's, Wilder's weaknesses play right into Tyson's strengths.

And Tyson's fast waist movement is a great way to nullify the only thing Wilder has, a hard right. It's what Tyson did every fight.

My post does not validate that. I have seen Wilder fight disciplined if he respects the opposition. So, don't put words in my mouth.

Now, you talk about real giants. Since when is AJ a real giant? He does not use his jab well and struggles to fight on the backfoot. AJ is a one-way fighter - come forward and that's it. Even the 2 times he knocked Wlad down where when he came forward. The other rounds he struggled fighting on the backfoot.

It is ok for you guys to keep saying that Wilder only has a right hand. I hope you keep on saying that after AJ gets knocked out by Wilder too.

Wilder has the best jab of the big 4 or 5. But you guys won't see that. Wilder is faster than AJ, more mobile, pivots really well and is awkward too. Wilder fights better on the back foot than AJ by a large margin too. But, why explain the same thing each time? You guys keep seeing what you want to see.

Is Wilder wild sometimes? Yes, but it usually is when he believes he has the opponent hurt.

Even Lennox only beat a past prime Tyson.
Nobody known as chinny is beating tyson. Beat josh first then we can reassess if wilder could beat tyson

This was pointless.. every boxer's early resume looks like this

[Hot Shyt]

except for the double olympians with 300 amateur fights*

[Gary Coleman]

Just no, Deontay.

He lacks the fundamentals to beat a prime Tyson.

Sloppy combo throwing ass...
