Mike Tyson declares he’d kick Floyd Mayweather’s ass in a street fight
Mike Tyson has insisted that he would be able to easily win a street fight against fellow boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
The heavyweight icon didn’t take a moment’s hesitation before answering a fan’s hypothetical question about how he would get on if he confronted the welterweight.
“I think I would really kick Floyd’s ass in a street fight,” Tyson told GQ.
“It wouldn’t even be no match.”
However, he then admitted: “But probably if I was his size in the ring, he would outpoint me, yeah.
“He has a really good technique for his style, he’s really great at what he does.”In his career Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history (20 years old) and was undisputed king of the division less than 12 months later.
Later on though, the terrifying aura faded and he was beaten multiple times before retiring with a record of 50-6 (44 KOs).
Mayweather meanwhile was never as ruthless as Mike, but went his entire career undefeated and quit the sport at 50-0.
