Tyson calls Floyd a scared little man
Mike Tyson, like many other athletes and media outlets have been in Las Vegas this week for the upcoming May 2nd fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Before the MGM Grand Arena is the center of the universe in just two days, Iron Mike gave up a few of his precious seconds to discuss where he was at before viewing the unification of all Welterweight titles. Tyson expects the fight to be amazing, where he initially took Pacman but is now siding with Mayweather (see: Manny’s body transformation after P.E.D. allegations).
After briefly touching on Wladimir Klitschko having lack of competition in the heavyweight division, he spoke on Floyd Mayweather recently saying he was better than Muhammad Ali. Like many others, Iron Mike too offense to those claims and briefly called Floyd delusional and said he was nowhere near the realm of the greatest boxer of all-time. He closed out with calling Mayweather a small-scared man in the clip you can watch above.
“Manny has to be a monster but he has to be an intelligent monster. He can’t just rush in, he has to be very elusive. Boxing’s different from when I boxed. These are businessmen up there. They pretty much manufacture the death and all that stuff. I’m a natural born killer.”
