Mike Tyson: "Manny Pacquiao is the #1 Boxer to Watch, Not Floyd" (VIDEO)

[Ego Noir]

Cus probably rolled over in his grave when he heard that shyt

Cus believed in actually fighting your opponent

Not run circles around the ring for 12 rounds then declare yourself the best ever

Ill assume you where talking about Floyd who wasnt the only fighter but one of several I would consider currently (going on a 1 fight basis since Mike was only referring to the Manny Vs Brandon fight) more exciting than what Manny did. What Floyd did against Canelo was what Manny did but multiplie levels because he didnt just throw 3-4 punches duck and step right, repeat, then repeat for almost the entire fight. While it was impressive it demonstrated Rios limitations much more than it demonstrated Manny's mastery and not even a close comparison to the multitude of skills and tactics Floyd used to stymie a fighter whose frankly at least 1 level above Rios

You dont think Floyd's incredible boxing skills are exciting than I have no idea what to say to you breh other than get the fukk outta here!



As to what Cus believed in, was evident in the style he created, the peek a boo style was about elusiveness and avoiding hits as much as anything else.

When you get hit that’s when you’ve got to be calm. A professional fighter has to learn how to hit and not get hit, and at the same time be exciting. That’s what professional boxing is about. You’ve got to be clever, you’ve got to be smart, and not get hit, and when you’re able to do this, you’re a fighter.” Cus D'Amato

Mike also said in a video that he doesn't know if he could beat Mayweather if they were to fight at similar weights. He's going with whatever the latest fighter was, and he's a legend that deserves to have his opinion like everyone else.

I honestly prefer not to watch Pac over Floyd because I like defense/counter punching and accurate boxing. I would rather watch Tyson over Pac because early Tyson had CRAZY defense as well as offense.

Pac does a lot of things wrong but gets away with it because of his hand speed. He did everything right against Rios because Rios was 2x's slower and made no kind of adjustments. He wanted Manny to stand in front of him and trade and Manny wasn't about that life this fight.

After watching the video I get what Mike was saying...he enjoys watching Manny fight more than he enjoys watching Floyd or anyone else fight. His opinion was based on who he finds more entertaining as a spectator/fan.
He even made sure to say he wasn't talking about who is the best or better fighter.

This.

Mike's point is entirely valid (even if you don't agree).
People get it in your head: Mike is not saying Pac is better than Floyd. Mike is saying that just for entertainment, he feels Pac is more entertaining to watch than Floyd.
Now you may feel differently if you prefer pure boxers, or are a Floyd fan. What Mike said fits in with what the majority of casual fans will agree with. Manny has an entertaining style that is fun to watch.

iron mike says things to say things

He's came out and said Floyd was the greatest fighter already..so I doubt he means Manny is the better fighter..

Floyd hasn't fought an elite fighter in 6 years. Dude made all the excuses in the world to NOT fight Pacman while every one else was saying they WANT Pacman. Floyd was scared and Floyd is a boring fighter to watch. He doesn't throw combos because he's scared to get countered. I enjoy watched Floyd on 24/7 more than watching his fights. Floyds logic "I beat Marquez who beat Pacman so I beat Pacman" "I beat De La Hoya who beat Sweet Pea, so i beat Sweet Pea" That has to be the dumbest sh!t i ever heard in my life.

Somebody please tell Floyd Vernon Forest beat Mosley but lost to Mayorga then Mosley beat Mayorga because styles make fights and the only style that gives Floyd problems is speed.. I mean bum ass Zab Judah gave floyd problems and knocked him down (they didn't call it a KD but his glove did hit the canvas)

U wrote all of this for no reason..Mike is on record saying Floyd is the best pound for pound boxer skill wise...
