[Screenshots courtesy: @ChampRDS on X]When Mike Tyson dismissed Floyd Mayweather’s claim of being the greatest everFloyd Mayweather once declared himself the best to ever step in a ring, placing his name above Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. That remark did not sit well with Tyson, who has always seen Ali as the sport’s true standard.Tyson brushed off Mayweather’s boast as delusional and stressed that greatness is measured by how the public embraces a fighter, not just by an undefeated record. Sharing his thoughts with Undisputed Champion Network, Tyson said:“He’s very delusional... Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of greatness with Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can’t take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he’s great? Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself.” [H/t: Fox Sports]
