"Floyd is a scared little man" - Iron Mike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA24sDTpMuA

I had a feeling that this would set Mike off. Tyson has an UNBELIEVABLE amount of respect for Ali.

 

Yeah I caught this earlier.

Laughed to myself. What Mike said is true though. One of the things that made Ali great was how accessible to common folks he was.

 

I'd pay triple the PPV cost of Pac-Floyd to see a prime Tyson against Mayweather.

 

There will never be another Mike Tyson.

 

Flomo would die of a heart attack.

 

Not if his fucking kids keep dying there wont.

 

That's a pretty evil/sick statement.

 

Meh....I was alluding to what Christopher Hitchens said when he pointed out that the only chance a man has of immortality is through his offspring.

 

Floyd actually is better than Ali in terms of ring IQ. Look at how many punches Ali took in his fights. Floyd doesn't take half as many.

 

Par for the course for that cock smoker

 

::

I spit in eye of your feigned outrage and morality.

You can go back to salivating over your wife-beating demagogue now.

 

Ali fought like, better opponents and stuff.

 

I just get the feeling Tyson doesn't like Mayweather. Full stop.

 

1. Mike is an old athlete who has that "In my day, things were......" etc.

2. Mike lost all his money, Floyd is loaded.

3. Mike is older, has a better perspective on life.

4. Mike probably heard what Floyd said about Africa.

5. Mike heard what Floyd said about Ali. Mike paid tribute to Jack Dempsey and was raised by D'Amato on idolizing former champions. Floyd was raised by Roger Mayweather who couldn't raise himself off the canvas.

 

I believe at one point Tyson and Floyd were friends. But obviously they had some type of falling out to where Tyson doesn't like him.

At the end of the day, I think Mike just dislikes Floyd's arrogance and fakeness.

Say what you want about Tyson being bat shit crazy, but at no point (even in his prime) did he ever bash any of his predecessors. When Tyson was in his prime he was telling people he wouldn't stand a chance against prime Ali, and prime Holmes.

While Floyd shits on Ali, Robinson, Leonard, and every other fighter that paved the way for him.

 

at the WBC convention last december when all the champs were on stage Tyson walked up on mayweather jr and flinched him

 

The one bit Floyd has in his favor is he doesn't travel alone. If he says some disrespectful shit back to Mike you KNOW Mike will step to him at some point.

 

Floyd would shit his pants if Mike stepped him without his body guards present.

Only bigger dude Floyd has probably ever thrown hands at is 50.

Mike ain't 50.............

 

Y'all Musta 4Got

I think Floyd's shots at Ali probably helps PPV sales and overall interest. More people take notice of him and the upcoming fight. Smart marketing.

 

Yup, that is a high negative on Floyd's persona, one should always respect the greats. One of the things that annoys me about Usain Bolt, for example, is what he said about Carl Lewis. Don't be talking negative shit about Carl Lewis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Floyd need to pay more respect to those guys, especially Ali.

Still....I don't care how annoying a fighter is in his real life, I'm a fan of what he does in the ring, and i want him to beat manny down.

 

If this was a young Floyd, he'd go for the KO. But there is no way in hell I see him doing that.

Be that as it may, a mere decision win won't be enough for Floyd if he wants to be compared to the greats.

He needs a career defining performance for that.

 

I see him going for the KO.

I agree with you on the decision win not being goo enough though, Unless it's a decision win after giving pacquiao a beating.

Can't say I'm surprised.

LAS VEGAS — A longtime friend of Mike Tyson said the retired heavyweight champion’s critical comments about Floyd Mayweather Jr. stem in part from Tyson being told by several people that it was Mayweather who instructed a woman in 2001 to falsely report to police that Tyson had kidnapped her and sexually assaulted her — allegations that prompted police to raid his home.


Tyson created a stir Wednesday when he showed up for the final Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao news conference at MGM Grand and called Mayweather “very delusional.”



When asked about Mayweather’s claim that Mayweather was better than Muhammad Ali, Tyson said, “He’s a very small, scared man.”
As the news conference was about to begin, when Tyson was told he could move to the front four rows of the theater, he looked in the direction of Mayweather and said, “I try to stay as far away from dirt as possible.”


Darryl Francis, a former Tyson assistant who says he was living with him at the time of the 2001 raid, told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday that he thinks the incident was a factor in the shots Tyson has taken at Mayweather, who faces Pacquiao on Saturday at Garden Arena.


Tyson confirmed Thursday to USA TODAY Sports that he had been told Mayweather was involved in the 2001 matter. “Some serious people said it,” he said, adding he does not have evidence to prove the allegation. “I’m good with it now. … You can forgive, but you have to remember.”


Mayweather did not respond to requests for comment.


Efforts to reach the woman who filed the report, including leaving a message on a cellphone listed in her name and leaving messages with two phone numbers listed as belonging to her relatives, were unsuccessful. Pamela McGregor, one of the woman’s aunts reached by phone, said of the allegations, “A lot of that I know, but I don’t want to tell it. I would rather her tell her own story.”



Officer Laura Meltzer, a spokeswoman for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, confirmed that no charges were filed in the case. She said she did not have immediate access to records that might show if police were aware of the allegations that Mayweather was involved.



The alleged victim reported Tyson twice sexually assaulted her and wouldn’t let her leave his Las Vegas residence, according to an incident report taken Sept. 21, 2001, by Las Vegas police.


Tyson wrote about it in his 2013 autobiography, Undisputed Truth, saying the search lasted 12 hours. “They began to tear my house apart — room by room, box by box, paper by paper,” he wrote.



Tyson said in the book that he got a call from a “record producer friend” from Houston who told him the alleged victim had been dating another “very prominent boxer.”



Tyson wrote that the record producer said the other boxer was furious upon learning Tyson had been with the woman and told her to go to police to report that Tyson had kidnapped her against her will.


Before the raid on the house, Mayweather would visit Tyson’s home a few times a year, according to Francis.


“They were cool,” Francis said. “Floyd would come over and hang out and see what it’s like to be around a guy with the mansion and the Rolls-Royces.”



Francis said Tyson’s friendship with Mayweather ended abruptly after the police raid.


Asked if he used to be friends with Mayweather, Tyson said, “I don’t know. The definition of friends is very tricky with me. The understanding of it is cloudy.”



Francis said he met Tyson about two decades ago when Francis owned a car wash and carpet-cleaning businesses and Tyson used his services. Francis said he is now a limousine driver for Caesars Palace.



Of Francis, Tyson said, “That’s a good person. He’s special.”

 

BTW...it's safe to say that "Houston record producer" is James Prince.

 

I think that's because Lewis implied that Bolt takes PEDs.

 

Yes, but still. Don't be talking about Carl Lewis man!!!

Carl is a legend.
