Wilder said he would have BEATEN Tyson? Lennox Lewis had his say on THIS

Former world undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has reacted to Deontay Wilder’s claim that the latest would have beaten Mike Tyson if they met back in 1986.  "I just heard Deontay Wilder said he would destroy a young Mike Tyson. My thoughts are that it's easy to talk until you 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," Lewis told Boxingscene. Mike Tyson himself has also reacted to Wilder’s words.  On Wilder’s claim, Tyson said: “I don’t know [whether I’d beat him]. I love the fact that he thinks that, because that’s the way I would think as well. He’s supposed to think that way, he is the heavyweight champion of the world and that’s something very special.” Wilder’s much-anticipated rematch with Tyson Fury takes place on Saturday night, February 22.
