Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Reacts To Wilder's Prediction of Beating Him

Lennox may get fired by haymon for saying this. Anybody who speaks the truth about the big alabama fraud is banned, ask Paulie Malignaggi who merely voiced his opinion that Fury won the first fight.

It would be an interesting matchup for Tyson and Wilder. Wilder has a long body and I could see Rooney training Tyson to get inside and work on Wilder's ribs. I don't think Wilder would have enough punch output to keep Tyson off of him. The blueprint to beat Tyson would be great movement, work off the long jab, tie him up on the inside and off the jab comes a right hand. That isn't Wilder. His footwork isn't very good. I don't know if Wilder expects to knock out Tyson with one straight right hand and if that's the case then Tyson would get him in 5 rounds or less.

**** Holyfied, Lewis and a prime Bowe would have knocked out Wilder.

Wilder is talking reckless! It's disrespectful and unnecessary! He'll never be Ali, Tyson, nor Mayweather, nor does he need to be! Just be Deontay Wilder, and be happy with that!

I agree with this statement 100%.

Could see it panning out exactly like Tyson vs Spinks. With Wilder visibly soiling himself in the ring as the eerie silence of a robeless Tyson makes his way to the ring.

Then he gets flopped as Tyson effortlessly closes the distance and unloads on his chin.

Quoted for truth. Deontay Wilder is a bum.

Mike would knock Wilder into Bolivian within 3 rounds.

You know they tell me that Mike Tyson was out of his prime when he was around 23 years old ( HA! ). Fans of 'Iron' Mike phrase this assertion by referencing a short span of time in the young career of Mike Tyson : the years ' 1986-1989' when he became the youngest HW champion of all time, and just before he got exposed. I find that completely laughable and obviously flawed for sooo many reasons that I'm not even going to make any effort to dispute that stupidity.

We all know that quitter convicted rapist Mike Tyson choked when he stepped-up against anyone good enough and willing to fight back. Deontay Wilder would never lay down for old-man and bum beater Mike Tyson.

Here is something that gets overlooked when reviewing Tyson's standing among ATG HW's : Mike Tyson was protected against journeyman 'Razor' Ruddock ( Twice ), after Tyson got exposed by Buster Douglas. If you all done your homework you would know why.

No way does the 'Bronze-Bomber' take an L to Buster Douglas, that's like Wilder getting sparked by Dominic Breazeale, 'Razor' Ruddock would be like Deontay getting help from the ref vs. Dillian Shyte.

No way would the title of 'Baddest man' be given to Mike Tyson if Deontay was around.

Protected from Ruddock? Tyson beat Ruddock, fair and square. Twice.

I like both guys. Both guys have suspect resumes though. Having said that, Wilder has more one punch power and more height.

Tyson has more skills, more speed, more pedigree.

If we are really analyzing this fight, Tyson may not have as much power as Wilder, but clearly he packs a punch, and I think it is obvious that he is a much faster starter who could get is offense going immediately. Safe to say he would be the first one to land clean on the face, which to me means he is likely the winner of this fight.

Very mellow response from Tyson, maybe those buds he sells and smokes are some good *****!

Protected from Ruddock? Tyson beat Ruddock, fair and square. Twice.

And what's more, that "journeyman" Ruddock would probably knock Wilder out himself as well.

Right hook to the body right uppercut , enuff said .
