Hello everyone! I'm ready for your questions!

Rags (NYC)

Danny, Was your gameplan to wear Tyson down by letting him be the aggressor in the early rounds? It seems that while you did stand and trade, you were pacing yourself, while Tyson was wailing away.

Danny Williams

  (4:55 PM)

It wasn't my gameplan. I wanted to box him and then wear him out. He drew me into a trading match so I had to do that. But I was waiting for him to tire. The public got a really good fight and I have more respect for Tyson.

Don (Baltimore)

Danny, great fight man. Can you describe for us what it feels like to be hit by Tyson? Is he the hardest puncher you've ever faced? Big ups to you bro, those body shots you took in the first two rounds would have killed me dead.

Danny Williams

  (4:56 PM)

He is by far the hardest. His punching power is tremendous. Every shot rocks your whole body. But I was able to absorb his shots and wear him out.

randy Lomas bossier city louisiana

I have a question for you. At the begining of the fight when yall are face to face was you scared alittle bit? Because you know no matter what tyson is still one of the biggest fear fighters.

Danny Williams

  (4:57 PM)

Not one little bit! I visualize going eye to eye with him. I visualized the whole fight. I was 100 percent certain I was going to defeat him.

Gerry(W Hills CA)

Danny,In the rematch, fight mike with one leg and see if you can beat him. Doubt it. Basically that's what he did when he fought you. Fair is Fair. Don't forget lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place

Danny Williams

  (4:58 PM)

You are obviously a Tyson fan. Tyson walked unaided outside the ring, he did not limp. I boxed with one arm and won the British title. Stop making excuses for your man!

Kennesaw, GA

Any chance you will fight Evander Holyfield? I sure would pay to see that match.

Danny Williams

  (4:58 PM)

I would love to. I hope that is my next match. I want to be known as the Legend Killer!

Shreveport,LA

Would fighting him in London as a rematch give you even more confidence?

Danny Williams

  (4:59 PM)

I don't think you can go above 100 percent confidence. I am 100 percent sure I could beat Tyson again.

Mike, VA

Hey danny, Will you try to lure Lennox out of retirment?

Danny Williams

  (5:00 PM)

I would love to. Danny Williams vs. Lennox Lewis would be a huge match. The British fans deserve to see it.

Fred Fresno Ca

How do u think you would fare against Vitali Klitschko?

Danny Williams

  (5:01 PM)

I think it would be an easiser fight than Tyson. Vitali is strong but slow. I would be able to knock him out.

adnan (birmingham)

salaam brother, what have u been doin in the states after the fight?

Danny Williams

  (5:02 PM)

Wa Laykum Salaam ... Interview after interview! And signing autographs. No time to myself so far.

Kevin (Denver, CO)

Danny, Congrats. What's your take on Audley Harrison. Would he be an option for you, or has that ship sailed?

Danny Williams

  (5:03 PM)

That is definitely off. I've been calling him out for years and he's been running scared. After beating Tyson I'm a world class fighter and I want to box world class fighters.

Brian West Covina Ca

Since you say that Tyson is one of the hardest punchers in the game what chance do Roy Jones Jr. or Antonio Tarver stand against him or would you be interested in fighting one of them?

Danny Williams

  (5:05 PM)

I would love to fight Tarver. It would be an easy fight. He's not used to being hit by a heavyweight. Tyson would KO either of them. He hits too hard for those guys.

Shreveport,LA

Would you also accept a match with David Tua, if so would you prepare for the fight like you did with Tyson?

Danny Williams

  (5:06 PM)

I would fight anyone right now. I want to fight for a world title. I would like to box Tua. I would defeat him the same way as Tyson.. wear him down and knock him out.

Eric (Littlefield, TX )

Tyson will kill you in a rematch!! I dare you to fight him again

Danny Williams

  (5:07 PM)

Tell your buddy Tyson to bring it on!

Jon, Philadelphia PA

You fought dirty. Plain and simple. Throwing your elbow in his face, opening a cut above his eye. His knee ligament tore, and you took advantage of a situation where you were nearly kissing his boots. Do you honestly consider such a dirty won legit?

Danny Williams

  (5:08 PM)

I don't believe I was dirty. The cut was opened by a legit left hook. The better fighter won on that night.

Shreveport,LA

Did your crew prepare for a violent reaction at the weigh in, like what happend at the lennox and tyson weigh in?

Danny Williams

  (5:09 PM)

My team was expecting a violent reaction but I wasn't. I think he has turned over a new leaf and is a different person now, which is the way it should be.

Kevin (Denver)

Would you consider some of the upper and comers, say Guinn, Mesi, DaVarryl Williamson as opponents sometime this fall, or are you set on a big-money fight?

Danny Williams

  (5:10 PM)

I would fight with Mesi. He is a big name and is respected. By defeating him I would get some respect from the American public.

Jaez From Detroit Michigan

Hi Danny Williams Congratulations on the fight Hope You'll be the next world champion anytime soon and heres my question for you! Do you think Tyson Will go for a Rematch With you after you knock him out or He'll Just Retire because of age and not being the same Tyson when he was 20 yrs old. And Can You Beat Him Again without pressure if ever theres A Rematch because people think you've won because Tyson's Leg was injured in the first round? Thanks Danny Goodluck!!

Danny Williams

  (5:11 PM)

I believe Mike has many bills to pay and he has to come back. Whether he wants to or not. After he has a little break he will be up for a rematch.

Henry Alta Loma Ca

Do you think you are going to be the next heavy weight Champion of the world?

Danny Williams

  (5:13 PM)

Yes. I see Mike Tyson as one of the best in the world. I think Tyson is superior to Brewster, Byrd or Vitali or Ruiz. I think my chances of becoming world champion have increased greatly.

Crescent City CA

Who was your favorite boxer growing up? Who can you compare yourself to?

Danny Williams

  (5:14 PM)

Rocky Marciano, Willy Pep, Jersey Joe Wolcott and Muhammad Ali.

Kevin (Denver)

What happened in the Samil Sam fight ??

Danny Williams

  (5:14 PM)

I got shingles back in 2001 and everytime I train and my body gets run down, they would reappear. For that fight my body got ran down and went into the fight sick.

aleem(india)

will u try to become a role model for young children like ali seeing as he was also muslim?

Danny Williams

  (5:15 PM)

I don't want to be a role model but when you are in the public eye you are whether you want to be or not. But I will always be on my best behavior so the kids know that is the way to be.

Matt Walnet Ca

Who do you feel is the best pound for pound boxer in boxing right now?

Danny Williams

  (5:16 PM)

I still think Roy Jones is one of the most talented fighters ever to live. His loss to Tarver was just one of those things. I still thing he is probably the best pound for pound.

Mike, VA

For your next fight will you saty at 265 or come in lighter?

Danny Williams

  (5:17 PM)

I will come in lighter. Possibly 5-8 lbs. lighter. I feel strong and powerful at this weight.

michelle (france)

congratulations on ure engagment. is ure wife a boxing fan?

Danny Williams

  (5:17 PM)

Not really. She is a Danny Williams fan!

Rags (NYC)

Would you consider fighting the younger Klitschko, he's looking for an opponent for Sept. 25th !!

jason

how many hours a day do you practice boxing?

Danny Williams

  (5:19 PM)

Probably about 4 hours which includes running.

Mike, VA

Did Mike ever congradulate you?

Danny Williams

  (5:19 PM)

No he did not.

Kevin (Denver)

Will you now campaign in America, or head back to Europe??

Danny Williams

  (5:20 PM)

Wherever the big fights are that is where I will be.

Rags (Denver)

Danny, Who (amateur or pro) gave you your toughest fight?

Danny Williams

  (5:20 PM)

Mike Tyson.

Danny Williams

  (5:21 PM)
