Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather are three of the biggest names in boxing history.

Tyson is the youngest world heavyweight champion in history, becoming the number one attraction in the sport throughout the 80s and 90s.

Ali transcended the sport in the same way in the 60s and 70s, being involved in some of the biggest fights of all time including the ‘Rumble In The Jungle’ and the ‘Thrilla In Manila.’

Mayweather then took that baton as the face of boxing in the 2000s and 2010s, becoming the box office king before retiring with a perfect 50-0 undefeated record in 2017.

It was those accolades that led Mayweather to claim that he is the best boxer of all time, telling ESPN that he is better than Ali was.

“No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Muhammad Ali was better than me. Leon Spinks beat him when he had seven fights. They’d never put a fighter in there with Floyd Mayweather with seven fights.”

Tyson has reacted angrily to those comments, and needed just three words to let his feelings be known on Mayweather whilst talking to UCN.

“He’s very delusional.”

Tyson then expanded further and pulled no punches on Mayweather.

“If he was anywhere near that realm of great as Muhammad Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can’t take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he’s great?

Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people. It’s being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself. He’s a little scared man. He’s a very small, scared man.”

Tyson recently returned to the ring for a controversial fight with Jake Paul, and ‘Iron Mike’ has one question from the bout that he still wants answered.
