Tyson says Mayweather is a scared little man & not anywhere near as great as Ali

[NYC Rebel]

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.

That's a Brownsville niqqa for life.....

These other boxers are real jealous of that -0

What they're jealous of is he's the size of a 10yr old, yet he's probably gonna make a billion dollars by carefully picking opponents to pitty pat w/ for 12 rnds. He's overrated and arrogant.

Who should he have picked then?

I think a big part of it is that Tyson worships Ali...loves him personally to death

No.. Anyone that's been watching interviews with Mike (and RJJ) will have picked up on the hate.. Floyd Sr spoke on this weeks ago

It is typical crabs in a barrel...Jealousy.. It was only a matter of time before Mike's mask slipped



Black's.. No loyalty.. No unity.. the only race on earth that'll consistently against their own. People who get ahead.. stick together

"Duran called Sugar Ray's wife a whore, he flipped her off, he never touched gloves after the fight but you can't find one Panamanian that'll say something negative about Roberto Duran"

But over here in America.. A black man gets zero support when fighting a foreigner from the Philippines

....it was floyd's dad who said that tho. so that kinda nullifies the point a bit.

IMO, to think that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones are jealous of Floyd is silly. These guys were gods of the sport at one point, as well. Mike was king of the world for a period, and has been through everything there is to go through. Jealous because of money? Mike has done all of these things and more.

[Cynical Thoughts]

Floyd defenders mad as hell.

Waits for them to find a way to call tyson a c00n.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Who should he have picked then?

Put on weight and go fight Middleweights.

 

[NYC Rebel]

Put on weight and go fight Middleweights.

He's not a middleweight. Second, where's your angst for the "catchweight" champ?

 

[Scientific Playa]

I agree. I dont think mike tyson is jealous of floyd. he's already been there and done that. to be honest, it seems like mike tyson is at peace with where he is both as a man and financially
