This ultimately led a fan, Chuck Caudill, to say that DC could defeat Mike Tyson. He might choke Tyson unconscious or break his arm. Tyson could win with a lucky uppercut. The statement also calls Cormier a “crotch sniffer,” a derogatory term used to belittle someone’s boxing skills. He said, “To be honest, DC would take Tyson down & either choke Tyson unconscious or break his arm unless Tyson got lucky and caught him with an uppercut when DC would shoot for it a double leg. But dc is still considered a crotch sniffer.”
On the other hand, James March adds his perspective, stating, “I believe that James Toney found out. I believe that Conor McGregor CRUSHES Floyd Mayweather in a street fight. Same for Tyson; stay in your lane.” This additionally reflects the fandom of Mike Tyson and how his fans think it’s a far-fetched move on Daniel Cormier’s end.
Next, Michael Ingiosi added a snub reaction, saying, “Tyson would knock him out with one punch, so DC will never have a chance to take him down.”
Furthermore, Jesus Daniel Ceja contemplates that Cormier has a good shot if he could block or dodge the first three punches with ‘Kid Dynamite.’ He says, “If he could block/dodge the first three punches, he has a good shot.”
Then, James Peploe succinctly lays out the repercussions of the bout for Cormier. He said, “Bedtime, DC.”
