Lewis likes Wilder. Tyson prefers Joshua. It is what it is.

tyson fought 4 hall of famers. where does this 2 come from? mind bobbling idiot gets hyped up with a camera in his face and can't do 5 seconds of research?

For him to think Tyson only fought two just shows are dumb he really is, I know he is dumb anyways but I would think he would have a good IQ in terms of HW boxing history but nope... Plain dumb all throughout 😂

Cry baby. A full grown man with a child still want to be validated. Keep doing what you are doing and if you are the best validation will come. So much lack of self esteem. He knows he has been protected all his life and doesn’t feel like deserves to be champion. He only became significant because Joshua lost and took the Fury fight because Fury hadn’t fought in 109 years and was 700kg in weight. He avoided Joshua and Chisora and only fought bums.

That’s the think right there, he knows he has been protected for a while in his career. I don’t think anyone can deny is power, just like how you can’t deny how much protection he has had in his career.

He has been made to avoid a lot of competition throughout his career, the only time he took a massive risk was against an unfit Fury, and when he fought Bermane the first time.

Hopefully the need for validation would make him look to stop avoiding other HW who operates outside of the PBC island.

Mike Tyson in his prime is the ultimate heavyweight knockout artist of all time. No question. His prime only lasted a few years due to ignorance, but it was sweet.

That's it! I hope so too.

Tyson did say "Great job Deontay, taking out an old man in 7 rounds that I would have killed inside 1 round. "

Tyson was a knockout artist, but also a boxer and boxing fan.

I'd be surprised if he had any great appreciation for Wilder's style.

To me, Wilder is about as credible as Valuev. One thing stands out. That's it.

Somebody needs to arrange a meeting between those two in order for them to iron out their differences. This misunderstanding all stems from a lack of communication.

I believe that deep down Mike admires Deontay Wilder's punching power and ability. He probably sees a lot of himself in Wilder.

He's just having trouble conceding and admitting it since he and Wilder had that public spat over Deontay's toughness and chin in which Tyson has never forgotten or forgiven him.

[SN!PER]

Mike is a Fury fan simply because the guy is named after him.

In Mike's weird mind, a win for Tyson Fury is like a win for him because he likes seeing his name in the spotlight again, even if the name actually belongs to somebody else.
