Pretty Boy Mayweather a ‘very small, scared man’, reckons Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson has dismissed Floyd ‘Pretty Boy’ Mayweather’s claims that he is greater than Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson and instead labelled him a delusional “small, scared man”.

Mayweather, who calls himself TBE — The Best Ever, caused a stir when he explained why he thought he was better than his two compatriots, who are often cited as one and two on the all-time list of boxers, during an outburst in the lead up to tonight’s megafight with Manny Pacquiao.

The 38-year-old is currently unbeaten in 47 fights and could define his legacy with a victory over his Filipino rival at the MGM Grand Garden tonight. Mayweather insists that body of work is enough proof that he is the No.1 fighter in history.
