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

[megas30]

Tyson likes a certain style of fighting. Pac somewhat fights with the same style as Tyson, so he embraces that style. The funny thing is that Mike has the same problem as Manny with the same type of fighters, also, he was billed and promoted in the same fashion as Manny. Heck, I even believe that he's worked with Freddy roach at a time in his career. Tyson is trying to get into mainstream and will hop on any wagon to get there, whether it be Manny's.

Special note: Tyson has always been a Mayweather hater.

is tyson an uncle tom?

[Tyler_Durden]

Manny Pacquiao is clearly the greater fighter in every way and there's no question about it.

[golden247]

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.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

No. But that poster is actually right about Tyson doing anything to get into mainstream, but more so its about making money. He's pretty much admitted that the crap he does now (Tyson: Undisputed Truth, booty shaking, acting a fool in movies) is an act. Even jokingly does American slave talk "Yessa boss, Imma a good actor" to describing what he has to do today to make money. Basically he's degrading himself as a means to make money,

"New Tyson" Is hustling fools.

Dont think that has anything to do with Mayweather and Manny though.

In every pac thread comes someone who defends floyd even if it disqualifies his thinking.

[Daddy T]

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).

I'm not commenting on the thread which is dumb and misinterpreting what Mike said just this ... Mike Tyson is a student of the game and knows more about it's history than basically anybody on the planet that is still alive today. NOT AN EXAGGERATION.

There are two kinds of knowledge/Intelligence:

• Cognitive Intelligence
Tyson had this too. He was trained to fight by Cus D'Amato. Skills garnered through trial and error and through repetition. Experience and memorization.

• Non-Cognitive Intelligence
Creativity that cannot be set by experience or something that can be learned from memorizing/training through redundancy. He had this too

[The Noose]

Firstly, im a Pac fan, but the question to Tyson was, which contemporary fighter do you enjoy watching right now?

Not who is the best, or who is the greatest, but who do you ENJOY watching.

Tyson even says "No one said better. No one looks as sensational as pac"


But the whole, 'you dont know boxing if you think Floyd looks more sensational' is ridiculous. Its totally subjective and about individual preference.

[Adamjr91]

You are just a fan and Tyson is a boxer, a great boxer. You saying Tyson boxing knowledge not that deep is ridiculous. Just because he appreciates Pacquaio all of the sudden you are better than Tyson. LMAO! You don't. know *****.

calm down bro, I know plenty
