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

[NahMean]

I just heard @BronzeBomber said he would destroy a young @MikeTyson. My thoughts are that it’s easy to talk until u actually get in the ring. I like Wilder but he’s never been in there with someone that ferocious who truly wants to break his ribs with every punch. I don’t see it!

I love @BronzeBomber’s confidence... u need that to sit atop the heavyweight division... he’s hungry and shows up in probably best shape in division... but there’s levels to it... and he’s still adding to his arsenal.

My best advice to the entire crop of young heavyweight champs is to focus on being the best of YOUR era! Out of respect and reality. It’s unprovable. Of course ppl asked, but I found no need to speculate or compare myself to my idol Ali or any other of the past greats.

History will decide your place among the all time greats... so go out there, clean up the division, defend your title, reign supreme and your work will speak for itself.

Lennox Lewis finds it mind bobbling that the bum slayer Deontay Wilder who is yet to fight anyone a pulse thinks he can beat every heavyweight in history including prime Mike Tyson. Lewis is so flustrated that he's gone on twitter to put DeonWho in his place.

I honestly believe Lennox Lewis on his best day could beat an heavyweight in history
He could fight inside and box superbly on the outside, he had great power and handspeed. He could get hit but when he got hurt he knew how to hold on and always came back
Add to that he had the size and height to be very imposing; Lewis was extremely strong

His chin was dented twice but he proved he was the better man by besting them in rematches, he wasnt perfect but he was a remarkable fighter whos always been underrated.
People used to call him boring but he had great fights, ie when he fought Mercer.

Lennox was actually very respectful. He didn't go to calling Wilder a bum like so many keyboard warriors. He gave good advice

Lewis has always been a respectable and humble guy plus he is friends with Wilder but he still went to twitter to teach Wilder about levels. Mike Tyson was unified heavyweight champion at the age of 20.. Wilder is 33 and has yet to fight a top heavyweight!

Wilder has been banging on about unifying the division for 3 years.. He'll be retiring soon and may never unify yet he has the audacity to say he's better than the youngest heavyweight champion ever.

Mike would flatten him.. It's not even a contest
He made a really stupid comment and only brain dead Wilder fans the ones supporting his silly comment.

Deontay Wilder who is yet to fight anyone a pulse

You're rewriting history. The first time he fought Stiverne, Stiverne was considered one of the best fighters in the world was #2 or #3 in all of the most respected independent rankings.

If you're lying about that, what else are you lying about?

Lennox hijacking my line "focus on being the best of YOUR era!" wtf.

LMAO you said Stiverne was considered one of the best in the world ahahaha.. The mighty legend killer Bermane "FAT" Stiverne won a flipping vacant title from Arreola ffs.. Beating Arreola twice now makes you "ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD" does it? Ahahaha Vacant title or not that still made him a champion which boosted his position in the ranking just like it did with Charles Martin when he won the title... Would you consider Martin "ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD"?

Get a grip man.

Let’s go back and see if Lewis never said anything in his prime. He always comes across as being jealous of the new era of HW. Not that am supportive of Wilder running his mouth about Tyson.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Wilder lasts maybe 2 rounds against Iron Mike.

Lennox dropping knowledge and the truth like always. Preach champ!
