Tyson makes a remark about Wilder.. WIlder fires back... James Toney backs Tyson

[FinitoElDinamita]

Wilder responds " An a 3 year old that wants to quit can bite a ear off too right"

Toney to Wilder " Ur a damn clown! How u gonna disrespect a legend like @miketyson? He'd whoop u today like I would! Ur a fake! Come see me!"

[imp]

James toney worshipped mike tyson back in the day.

I dont know why these former heavyweights have to attack the new up and comer?!

Wilder is beating and ko whoever they pit in front of him..what is everyones problem.

Mike may have accomplished so much more at an early age but he also had more amatuer experience than WIlder did..

You look at Mike's ESPN highlights and youll see a bunch of long haired whiteboys and hippies we've never heard of..

Wilder has been talking alot lately though on fighthype.. This dude is acting like he scored an upset over Scott.. He says everybody expected him to lose to Scott but he proved them wrong..lol okayyyyyyy nobody fuckin gave Scott a chance so wtf is he talking about.

I think Tyson has earned the right to make any comments or thoughts about current fighters.

I agree with Tyson.

There is a chin problem with Wilder.
2 short clips below, only about 1 minute each, worth a look.

Wilder turned pro Nov 2008 at 23 years old.
Here he is 9 months earlier, Feb 2008, as a 22 year old Amateur getting knocked around and down by Evgenyi Romanov (born in 1985 same as Wilder.)

David Haye sparring Wilder in 2013. Haye was rocking him.

Quite easy to see the liability and susceptibility in this fighter.
Bur hey, Wladimir had some chin issues until Stewart joined him in 2004 and gradually worked out the kinks in his style, developed him, helped him learn to protect the vulnerable chin.

I agree with Tyson.

I think Tyson has the right to say anything he wants, also. I also think he should show some class, unlike the rest of us. LOL He is a promoter, businessman and hopefully a mentor who should be trying to project a positive image along with some good advice.
He had a great chance to do a lot of good when he was younger and for whatever reasons it didn't work out. I hope he doesn't let a second chance slip through his fingers. I'm hopeful this squabble, if there is one, is a one time thing.
Mike Tyson an honest, truthful promoter and businessman. Yeah!!
Mike Tyson a hot tempered, loud mouthed, headhunting promoter and businessman. Hell no!!

I gave Scott a chance and thought he could test Wilder.

However, by no means was I expecting Scott to win or dominate.

Tyson can say whatever he pleases, he always has.

Tyson only said what any Boxing fan that knows $#!t from shinola is wondering about wilder...

This guy hasn't fought a live one yet...

[Spicoli]

Mikes one hundred percent correct, also think he's right about Jennings being more exciting. The only thing Wilder should be saying is "thank you sir".

Go back and check that thread, a lot of fans have Scott a chance. Some gave him more than an even chance is the way I remember it.

[palmerq]

so wilders promo team are lining up a fight with toney..... bit of a crap fight but whatever... he's never been stopped and hopefully makes wilder work for more than 3 rounds

[imp]

Wilder will only be fighting "live" oppponents from now on..

Its not his fault that he landed in this era..
