Floyd Mayweather has self-proclaimed to be the best in the world. In a 2015 interview with The First Take, Money stated that nobody could ever make him believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali are better fighters than him. However, as someone who hung up his gloves with a flawless zero-loss record, he acknowledged these boxers as stepping stones that made the path for him to walk on. Nonetheless, he claims that they’re not better than him.

Now Mike Tyson, in his response to Mayweather’s interview, said, “He’s very delusional“. And then Tyson proceeded to say that he’s so scared of the world that he can’t even take his kids to school. ‘Iron’ Mike also said that a great person never needs to guard himself against the people as he’s accepted by the people wholeheartedly.

 

However, the whole debacle between Mayweather and Tyson that’s been going on since 2015 has been revised by the latest Facebook Post by Boxing TV. This is happening days after Mayweather’s opponent for his next exhibition bout, John Gotti III, warned ‘Money’ with the message “It’s kill or be killed“. While Mayweather claimed that it would be five exhibitions in five countries in nine months in 2023, the matchup is as odd as it comes. The likes of Logan Paul and Chalmers can take a rest as the 50-0 boxer’s choice of opponent has left many baffled.
