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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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 He paid the price for his principles and was stripped of his title and had his license withdrawn.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. 1 Like |

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.. 1 Like

Creamish: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. 2 Likes |

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. |

micktoxin: 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.. |
Re: Mike Tyson Blasts Mayweather For Comparing Himself To Muhammad Ali by micktoxin(m): 1:01pm On May 05, 2015 |
Creamish: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. 1 Like |

Creamish:lol. I wouldn't read too much into it tho. One of the oldest excuse in boxing, together with toe injury . Still support a rematch tho. |
Re: Mike Tyson Blasts Mayweather For Comparing Himself To Muhammad Ali by Creamish(f): 1:17pm On May 05, 2015 |
micktoxin: Lolz...therez always an excuse right? A rematch will clear the air for me. |

Creamish:Personally, mine is made up. Floyd is just better due to his intelligence in the ring. 2 Likes |
