Mike Tyson: You don't know boxing if you think Mayweather > Pacquiao

[D4thincarnation]

Student of the sweet science claims that those that say Mayweather looks better in the ring than Pacquiao don't know boxing and that they are neophyte fans that are new to boxing.

Mike knows what he is talking about, he has studied the fight game and watch the greats throughout history.

In fact Tyson reacts angrily if you make such a ****** statement




Is Tyson right?


Poll coming!!!

That should be "neophyte" not "neo fight" in the poll question.

He said most spectacular, clearly referring to excitement. Nothing special about it. Pacquiao has been in far more exciting fights than Mayweather and he's dispatching of his opponents in more spectacular fashion than Mayweather. He's also saying that he's not talking about who's better.

[The Problem Child]

Any knowledgeable and educated person will clearly pick Pacquiao over Mayweather. There is a reason why Mayweather has ducked the fight for 5 years and counting. It is fact.

You're making too much sense. You're supposed to just post something agreeing with the TS without having actually watched the video

He said, No fighter looked more sensational than Pacquiao looked against Rios.

[D4thincarnation]

Tyson goes on to say, that Pacquiao was masterful, commenting on his footwork and the angles he creates to get his punches off.

He appreciates Pacquiao's technical ability more than Floyd's that is clear.

And further more, he thinks that those who think Floyd is more sensational in the ring, are no nothing neo fight fans.

I think Mike called it pretty spot on here

[Larry the boss]

ok this is just getting ridiculous and dumb...damb

Everyone has an opinion. I wouldn't put anymore weight on tyson's than the next guy.

The fight will never ever happen but my view is that Mayweather would capitalise on Pacquiao's uber aggression over and over again until he KO's him late. I doubt Pacquiao would let up allowing Mayweather to cruise to a UD.

I think every fighter has an extreme (minority) fan base. You know, the guys that think Mayweather would wipe the floor of SRL. Mayweather's is a little bigger than most but it is still a minority.

Mike is a student of the game though, knows a lot more than 99% of this board.

Pacquiao was not that aggressive in his last fight.

He didn't have to be. Rios was there to be hit.

I'm a Tyson fan but I don't think his knowledge of boxing goes that deep. I am basing this view on some of the interviews i've seen him give (not this particular one).
