Williams taunts Tyson over fighting Mc Bride.

In a way though could of proved it was the knee that made him lose that fight. At first only few believed the knee seems more believed it because of his loss to Vitali possibly. He'd seemed to have gotten up fine after the 10 second count though and looked like his leg never had problems.

Good of Williams to comment while he's lined up to face TBA. Lets see what they drag up for him to fight in June.

Heard it might be Matt Skelton on the taunting link.

Skelton for July wasnt it?

I dont see Williams v Skelton being on the MEN June bill, its already sold out why would Allegedly put it on there when he can sell it out as another promotion.

Don't know then. Will have to wait till they announce it then.

I voted for the Tigers bit twice.

People find it all too convenient to laugh off the Tyson knee injury, but although we dont know the full extent of the details, it has been documented that it was quite serious and he needed surgery after the fight.

Williams was pretty lucky, Tyson nearly took his head off in round one.

Still, I dont take much Williams says that seriously - he still reckons he can be the number one heavyweight in the world.

His bashing from Fireman Sam was bad. Having said that he'd probably be in better shape (as in form and potential not as in hexagonal beer belly) if he'd never fought Tyson but concentrated on the British scene*, given Skelton a beating when he arrived etc. We'll have to see what state he's in if and when he fights TBA.)

* Although if you were Danny and were given a shot at Tyson and decent $$$ would you say no?

Boy, this man gets on my nerves! Danny Williams is talking a load of shit. I hope Tyson does have a rematch with him, providing Mike is lean, fit and has trained hard!

We will never know what would have happened had Tyson niot injured his knee, we can only give a prediction! I feel Mike would have won by KO if there was no injury.

Tyson needs to get his weight down to between 220-226lbs, in order to be really effective. Coming in last time out, he put on too much muscle and thats why he weighed in at 233lbs. Prior to this, against Etienne, he weighed 226lbs.

It has really made me angry, Williams taunting Tyson and giving all the verbal rubbish! How can Williams taunt somebody anyway? His dispaly against Vitali was the worst challenge for the heavyweight title in history?

After the fight, I reckon Vitlali had a shower/bath and then went out, it was so easy for him! Williams needs to worry about his comeback and his career, not Tysons. I will laugh so much if he loses to Matt Skelton!

Danny

Danny usually comes across as alright, he knows the Tyson rematch is the only big payday left for him so you have to take all the talk with a pinch of salt.
At the end of the day payday's are all that Tyson is in it for too. They are both done as serious challengers to the heavyweight crown. Of course, there's a good chance that Tyson could blow out anyone in a round, but he would never make more than 3 defences by the time he was extended and exposed again. I can see the point in him carrying on because he could be a titlist again... but a champion? No.
Williams is domestic class and should forget about the major titles - maybe a second attempt at European level if he gets past Skelton, then go for the final payday against Tyson.
