    He couldnt have been a stand out contender or even a name in America. Anyone any idea why he got it?

    it was more like mike needing a few tune ups and danny looked the right kind of an opponent for mike.

    which heavily backfired..

    It seems like he was handpicked by Tyson's team as Tyson hadn't fought for a while and Danny was at the level they wanted - someone who wasn't a complete bum but someone that Tyson would beat and look good doing so. Obviously their plan backfired.

    Paul Daley is quality, the hardest P4P puncher in MMA, and Britosh.
    A lot of boxing fans would love his fight with Scott Smith. Julian Jackson-esque :deal

    :lol::lol: sorry Slip i'm a fan of Daley the guys punches ****ing hard! and he's hilarious straight no nonsense talker in the mold of Froch but not as witty obviously.

    Not a major fan of MMA and don't think i ever will be...sports not as pure as Boxing in terms of watching skills but Daley has brought me some memorable KO finishes.

    I watched Vitali-Williams a few months back and I'm certain Lampley stated that Williams got his shot at the WBC title on the back of him beating Tyson.

    So I'm assuming Tyson may have got a shot at Vitali if he had won.
