Mike Tyson Blasts Mayweather For Comparing Himself To Muhammad Ali by modelboy(m): 5:49pm On May 04, 2015
The former Heavyweight champion of the
world Mike ”Iron Mike” Tyson has blasted
Floyd Mayweather for comparing himself to
boxing great Muhammed Ali.
A couple of days ago, Mayweather said that he
was as great as Muhammed Ali. He said: “No
disrespect to Muhammad Ali, but he did it in
one division. I just look at Ali’s career when he
fought Leon Spinks and lost to a fighter with
seven fights.
“There were some other fights he lost and
he’s still known as The Greatest because
that’s what he put out there. It is what it is.”
Mayweather said.
“He called himself The Greatest and I call
myself TBE (The Best Ever). I’m pretty sure
I’ll get criticized for what I said, but I
couldn’t care less. I couldn’t care less about
the backlash,” he added.
Iron Mike rubbished the claim and said that
Mayweather is a little scared man and is
delusional.
“He’s very delusional. He can’t listen. If he
was anywhere near that realm of greatness
with Ali, he’d be able to take his children to
school by himself.
“He can’t take his children to school by
himself and you’re talking about he’s great?
Greatness is not guarding himself from the
people. Greatness is being accepted by the
people.
“He’s a little scared man. He’s a very small,
scared man.” Tyson said.

Mike Tyson makes sense here. Alli represents voice for the voiceless. He championed equality. He was the most vocal conscientious objector to Vietnam. He paid the price for his principles and was stripped of his title and had his license withdrawn. Mayweather is just another hustler who's only motivation is cash. Alli is my idol.

I also think Mike is right here....it takes much more than arrogance, wealth and hopping around the ring to b a legend. I was super bored while watching his fight with MP.. undecided

I agree it was underwhelming. I blame pac for it tho, as most people already knew that was how floyd will fight by running around the rings. He could have been more aggressive.

Felt like slapping May when i read that trash,comparing himself with Ali is like comparing keke with a Buggati.

Like someone rightly said,May is just a hustler,a good one too.

D'u support a rematch tho? Pac had a shoulder injury during his training and he wasn't allowed to take his pain meds before the fight.. D'u think this may have affected his fight? I was rooting for him..

This is the first time I am hearing shoulder injury. In which case I support a rematch. I think it could go either way in the rematch.

lol. I wouldn't read too much into it tho. One of the oldest excuse in boxing, together with toe injury grin. Still support a rematch tho.

Personally, mine is made up. Floyd is just better due to his intelligence in the ring.
