Nah I mean knock out! Lol
Mayweather seems like a narcissist/sociopath. This fight wil solidify his greatness, probably trained hard as hell. Hatton style ko or gatti beating
Mike interview never disappoints man...
I think a big part of it is that Tyson worships Ali...loves him personally to death, and Mike is a real emotional dude anyhow. So, he feels that lil' Floyd is just being disrespectful.
He respects Floyd's ability tho. He's said that in the past.

LAS VEGAS – Mike Tyson created a stir Wednesday when he arrived at the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao press conference three days before the mega-fight is set to take place.
Then the retired heavyweight champ fired verbal jabs at Mayweather, a one-time friend of Tyson’s.
Referring to Mayweather’s recent assertion that, at 47-0, he is the greatest boxer of all-time and not Muhammad Ali, Tyson said, “The guy is going around saying he is better than Ali. I don’t want to hear that (expletive).”
As the press conference was about to begin, Tyson was told he could move to the front four rows of the arena instead of his quiet seat near the back, Tyson responded: “I try to stay as far away from dirt as possible.”
Asked directly about his thoughts of Mayweather, Tyson said, “I was always told by my mother that if you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say nothing.”
Of his former friendship with Mayweather, with whom Tyson had a falling out for undisclosed reasons, Tyson said, “I try not to remember that.”
Tyson suggested the tension between the two made it difficult for him to appear at Wednesday’s event.
“You couldn’t believe the emotional quagmire it took for me to get in here,” Tyson said. “(Mayweather’s people) don’t like me too much.”
Tyson looked bemused after the press conference, where both fighters talked of God and praised each other.
“Coming to the press conference, it was very subtle, very nice, very polite here. It feels like I’m in, not church, but like a library, so to speak,” Tyson said. “Maybe I’m a Neanderthal. I’d want to kill the other guy.
“Boxing’s different from when I boxed. These are businessmen up there. … And I’m a natural born killer, and I want to win, I want to win in dramatic fashion, and I want to hurt people.

Whats unfair about what Tyson said is this. Floyd is a small man, rich man, and has beefs with people at times
Tyson, had beef with people the results would become stuff of legend (Mitch Blood Green says hi)
I was scared of Tyson in Punch-out let alone in real life
Floyd has taken his kids to school before, HBO showed him doing it on one of those 24/7 joints
Its just taking a shot that wasn't necessary. Its not like Tyson hasn't said a bunch of shyt that would be deemed "delusional"
Real Talk, Floyd has earned that spot. He's an all-time great. His career didnt' start off as epic as tysons. But his career in its entirety? Legendary to say the least.
I don't know how long Mike been anti Mayweather but he's been pro Ali forever, I knew Tyson wasn't going to take that better than Ali comment well. Tyson always speaks passionate about Ali.

Sounds like a heavyweight with little respect for a little guy claiming he's greater than the baddest muthafukka in the world. 
I think that's exactly what happened in this interview. At first he was being kinda respectful towards Floyd's ability to win the match by saying that he initially picked Pac but now he doesn't know. But as soon as the interviewee asked him about his "I'm better than Ali" statement, Mike lost it.

I fukks with both fighters (And all three if we are including Ali) so I can't say much here.
Wish they got along better...

Mike is the epitome of a student of the game of boxing. He definitely didn't like Floyd saying that he was better than Ali.
Anyways, Floyd winning Saturday night. To think otherwise is foolish

LOL it was good and cordial up until the last 8 seconds, then Mike had a Razor Ruddock flashback
