Mike Tyson has long since stopped professional boxing but remains one of the most influential men in the world of boxing. His opinions are still holy word for fans and specialists. And in that line, the former world heavyweight champion, summoned by an international media to answer some questions from the public, said he could "kick the ass" of Floyd Mayweather in an alley fight.

In an interview for GQ magazine, in which Tyson was asked a series of questions of all kinds, the former American boxer spoke about a potential fight against Floyd Mayweather, who has repeatedly proclaimed himself the best boxer in history.

“I think, I would really kick Floyd's ass in a street fight. He wouldn't even be a rival, ”Big Mike said when asked about who would win a fight with him in his best version.

Anyway, he also thought that the result would be different if they would face each other over the ring. "Probably, if it were his size, in the ring he would beat me. He has a very good technique for his style, what he does is really good," Tyson argued.

However, speaking of Floyd's self-proclamation as the best of all time, Tyson chose to reserve the throne for Muhammad Ali. “Listen, if you were close to that reign as big as Muhammad Ali is, you could take your children to school alone. Okay, he can't take his children to school alone, and he's talking about being big. Greatness is not protecting people. It is being accepted by people. ”

Finally, Mike Tyson acknowledged that he would never have fought in the UFC: “I don't know what he would have done in the UFC. I saw those fighters step on the feet of their opponents, and I have the worst feet in the world. If they step on me, I would give up immediately. ”
