Mike Tyson Does Not Regard Floyd Mayweather As 'The GOAT'

[N!Ck F.]

Mayweather is the biggest money maker of all time but I don't think he is even close to being the best fighter of all time. i think he is an all time great but not the best ever as he loves to say. just at welterweight alone I can think of a few welterweights I think would beat him prime against prime. There are other fighters in other weight classes I think were better fighters as well. If newer fight fans insist Mayweather is the GOAT nobody can prove them wrong. it is all just opinion and cannot be proven right or wrong. Tyson is a boxing historian who studies films and records of fighters of the past and he knows how good some of them were.

ROFL complete casual...regardless of Floyd being an ignorant, uneducated, illiterate, woman beating bum he still is the GREATEST TECHNICAL BOXER of all time. The most technical boxing skill and ability.


He may be boring to watch sometimes, he may not have that many ko’s...but he is the greatest technical boxer of all time... PACs the better FIGHTER as in excitement, heart, blood and guts warrior mentality but Floyd’s the greatest boxer.

Also you ignorant casual, Floyd was a tiny welterweight, Floyd at 130-135 was literally unbelievable...please I need more laughs tell me this huge list you have of who was a better p4p better BOXER then Floyd...

[LeOoze]

he's telling the truth. be honest guys.. floyd is a money maker but not the GOAT.. pac fought the best that's why his legacy is better than floyd..

castillo, canelo, hatton, marquez (who arguably beat pac all 4 times), pac himself, maidana >>> pac resume easily lol...

well he still puts him in the conversation with SRR lol. thats a compliment

Whos the pawg in your signature?

Floyd tried to cherrypick his way to top 10 goat status. It didn't work man.

I don’t think many people consider Mayweather the GOAT. But I also don’t think enjoying watching someone more is a criteria for greatness. I’m sure people would enjoy watching more fights like Paul vs Nate Robinson. Or Butterbean coming back vs Tyson. Or maybe circus fights like an MMA fighter fighting a boxer. Those fights are far more enjoyable and entertaining than even a very exciting to watch 130-pound Mayweather or really any real boxing match.

Jones vs Hopkins wasn’t necessarily enjoyable. Two young legends, future HOF’ers at the time, both green-ish in a highly tactical, slow, chess match. That is not very enjoyable. Paul vs Robinson beats that. Does that make Paul greater than Jones and Hopkins?

He became the youngest undisputed champ at what, 20/21? Floyd aint never done that, so theres that. Just sayin.

Not only the youngest, but by the next year the UNDISPUTED. So that's another item which may never be beaten.

[Roadblock]

Nobody is the GOAT, there is a group that are the greatest fighters of all time and Floyd is in that group its probably in the realm of 50 or so fighters.

The greats have very little between them just like the great racehorses have fractions of a second between them but many lengths on the others.

GOAT is all fan BS and has nothing to do with whats real.

[NearHypnos]

Is that half of what Floyd did? Did we really need to see Floyd beat Kell Brook for the IBF in 2015 to know if he coulda been Undisputed or not? (These are serious questions btw)

Yes. Wtf lmao. Kell was legit as all f uck when he won the title.

Floyd was far from his best in 2015 but Kell would have been a better fight than almost anyone - some may even argue Pacquiao. Def better than Maidana and Berto.

It’s not like the division and the other top guys were cleaned out because they were not. Thurman was the interim champ for like a few years and a good amount of fights lmao.

You can’t just conveniently forget that there were legitimate talks of how Thurman was ducked and Kell was a real player as well.

Def don’t get “benefit of the doubt” undisputed status. Gotta win that s hit

It ain't about who you enjoy, & it ain't about how many fights you had, it's who you fought. & I'm not saying Floyd is the goat but I'm not saying he's not. But Mike Tyson definitely ain't the goat.

Tyson always been a low key hater of Floyd. & in the ring If we being honest he ain't done half of what Floyd did & I'm not talking about numbers!

U don’t think he makes a damn good point about Chaves and Robinson?
