BOXING: Mike Tyson Dishes Mayweather Over His Muhammad Ali Proclamation

The interview with Mike Tyson started off like a normal interview. The Undisputed Champion Network asked Tyson who he thought would win the Fight of the Century. Tyson, despite previously siding with Manny Pacquiao, didn't offer a fighter. Instead, he said it would be a good fight and that he thinks it's going to end in a knockout.

The interview with Mike Tyson didn't end like a normal interview, however. It ended with a flurry of shots taken by Tyson. His target was Floyd Mayweather.


Tyson was asked about Mayweather's comments regarding Muhammad Ali. If you don't recall, recently Mayweather said that he was a better fighter than Ali. George Foreman later came out in agreement with Mayweather. Tyson, on the other hand, launched an all-out attack on Mayweather.

"He's very delusional," Tyson said. "Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of greatness with Ali, he'd be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can't take his kids to school by himself, and he's talking about he's great? Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people. He can't take his kids alone to school by himself."

And, before Tyson walked off camera, he had one more message for Mayweather.

"He's a little, scared man," Tyson said. "He's a very small, scared man."

Well, that was one quick escalation.
