    Why’s Mike Tyson so jealous of Floyd Mayweather?

    Even if you’re a Floyd hater, you’d be disingenuous not to see the hate that comes out of Tyson’s pores every time he talks about Floyd. Tyson made loads of money during his career and it’s not Floyd’s fault he didn’t manage his money properly.

    Floyd towers above Tyson career-wise and has a far superior resume. He beat the best of his era - something Tyson never did.

    He needs to let the hate go and embrace his brother.

      I agree. I know once upon a time he really kinda despised Floyd, but in recent years I really haven't heard him say anything bad about him.

        I agree said he was the best ever and nobody could beat him, can't praise a guy any more than that, Mike has mellowed a lot since he been hitting the weed real hard.

          He just suppressed it a bit. The hate is still there.

          The most overrated boxer ever just can’t watch someone else outshine him. Tyson is the creation of the big media machine while Floyd’s self-made.

            Honestly tyson is more loved and appreciated than froid whether you like it or not. The guy sold over a mil ppvs fighting roid jones while froid needed a youtuber with tens of millions of followers to sell the same. Not to mention the fight was more entertaining

              The truth is so many people are jealous of Floyd especially some boxers, they see it like they boxed in the same ring with the same risks and they got peanuts compared to Floyd .

              The Tall Poppy syndrome is in lots of people, its a very ugly trait and so many have it, a good thing though its fades way with age and I can see it in Mike he is a lot more content with life now than years go by.

                That’s what Triller told you. If Tyson were to sell 1million PPVs, he would’ve continued doing exhibitions and Jake Paul wouldn’t have left Thriller.

                Being loved and having big star power are two different things.

                  Tyson still likes the bright lights and he always feel insecure whenever he sees other boxers shining bright. Isn’t that why he released all those training videos after Fury beat Wilder like a thief?

                  He’s very insecure and he wants everything to be about him.

                    I don't know. Mike put a prime top 5 all time lightheavyweight Mike Spinks, who beat the undefeated atg Larry Holmes at heavyweight 2x, on his back in what 90 seconds.

                    I don't think Floyd's whole resume is better than that.
