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

[The Big Dunn]

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.

Iron Mike picks Mayweather

Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, a regular at ringside for major fights, is looking forward -- like most boxing fans -- to the showdown between pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez, who will meet to unify junior middleweight titles on Sept. 14 (Showtime PPV) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"I think that's going to be a super fight," Tyson said in an interview with ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights." "It's going to be an interesting fight, because I watch Canelo fight and he's improving with every fight. I'm interested to see how he deals with the complexity of Floyd Mayweather, who's a real strategist and a master fighter."

So who does Tyson, now getting into the promotional business with his Iron Mike Productions, like to win the big fight?

"It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be tough," Tyson said. "I gotta go towards Floyd a little bit. It's gonna be tough, because we don't know because Floyd is older. This guy is gonna hit him, but it's just difficult to bet against Floyd if you're really honest with yourself. It's really difficult to bet against him because he's been so superior over all of the fighters during the duration of his career."

Tyson ranks Mayweather as the best fighter of his era, regardless of what happens on Sept. 14.

"First off, you have to admit that he's the best of his time," Tyson said. "The best of his generation. He beat everybody in three, seven divisions, regardless. I'm not familiar with how many, but he's conquered a mountain of divisions. You have to rank him the best fighter of the generation, at least."

In case Iron Mike is reading this, Mayweather has won world titles in five different weight classes, from junior lightweight to junior middleweight.

Most people look at Pacquiao and just see the force of nature that he is, a non stop punching machine, speed power.

Tyson sees his skills, the footwork the angles he creates the feints his accuracy, a lot of these things get over looked

are you implying that i am overlooking things that manny pacquiao does?

do you really think he beats floyd mayweather?

i suggest you go back to the drawing board if you do.

What amazes me is that most in nsb thinks that floyd beats the **** out of pac, but no one wonders where did floyds ball got to and still is ducking pac. Yet the die hard floydiots twist facts just to defend the ducker.

No boxer is more sensational than Pacquiao.

Tyson then goes on to mention the angles he creates an alludes to his foot work.

Make no mistake, Tyson thinks very highly of Pacquiao's technical ability more so than Mayweather's

So Mike Tyson is an expert? Mike is one of my greatest fighters and I actually met him once but he fights just like Pac himself and you see what happened to him.

Of course he thinks Manny is sensational. That's exactly how he fought. He calims tyo be a "student" of the game not a teacher.

P.S. if Mike Tyson is your grreatest fighter of all time then "YOU DON'T KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING"

Then I'm going back to the NFL, cause I DKSAB.

Yaaaaawn, no. Yeah, the same Tyson that claimed the only way to beat Mayweather is to fight him dirty.
