‘THIS IS AN INSULT TO YOUR LEGACY’ Floyd Mayweather SHOCKING REACTION to Mike Tyson TRAINING FOOTAGE | HO
The boxing community collectively winced this week after leaked footage surfaced of Mike Tyson, the legendary Iron Mike, struggling through a training session at the age of 57. The clip, seemingly filmed without Tyson’s knowledge, sparked immediate concern, particularly from his former rival, Floyd Mayweather. Known for his outspoken nature, Mayweather didn’t hold back when approached by reporters, expressing a mix of disappointment and anger.
“This is sad to watch, man,” Mayweather began, shaking his head. “This ain’t Mike Tyson. This ain’t the Iron Mike that dominated the heavyweight division. This is a shadow of what he once was.” His voice rose with each sentence. “Let me tell you something, Mike Tyson is a legend, a living legend. He deserves better than this. He deserves to be remembered for the ferocious fighter he was, not some slow old dude struggling with basic drills.”
Mayweather’s frustration wasn’t just about Tyson’s physical decline but also the upcoming exhibition bout against YouTube personality Jake Paul. “What in the blue blazes is he thinking fighting that YouTube clown?” Mayweather exclaimed. “Jake Paul? Seriously, Mike? You’re going to step into the ring with a kid who learned to box on YouTube? This is an insult to your legacy and to the sport itself.”
Mayweather, known for his calculated and defensive style, contrasted his career with Tyson’s legendary aggression. “Mike was a force of nature in his prime. He could knock you out with a single punch. Now he’s out there looking vulnerable. It’s a recipe for disaster.”
The undefeated champion speculated about Tyson’s motivation. “Is it the money? Because there’s got to be a better way. Mike, you earned enough in your career to live comfortably for generations. This ain’t about the money. So what is it?” Mayweather paused, his voice dropping to a low growl. “Maybe it’s the attention. Maybe Mike feels forgotten. But trust me, nobody’s forgotten Iron Mike. But this, this exhibition with Jake Paul, this is how people will start remembering him—as a faded legend chasing clout from a YouTuber.”
