An old clip of Mike Tyson discussing the greatness of Naoya Inoue has emerged again due to Inoue’s upcoming super fight with Stephen Fulton to determine the king of the bantamweight division.
This clip showed Tyson explaining why Naoya Inoue is considered the best boxer in the world. Tyson stated, ” He’s a mean son of a b*tch. He’s better than Manny Pacquiao, just as good. He’s vicious.” Inoue has impressed almost everyone in the boxing world with his timing, speed, and punching power. He is the only Japanese boxer to be ranked the p4p king by ‘The Ring.’

Mike Tyson warms hearts with his speech on Muhammad Ali on television
Mike Tyson has always admired Muhammad Ali publicly. “Iron” Mike has blasted through his opponents in the boxing ring since a young age. But his tenacious boxing style is contrary to the elegant style showcased by Muhammad Ali. Ali’s career and personal life significantly impacted Tyson, growing up, aspiring to be the best heavyweight boxer in the world.
1989 when Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Tyson came onto a talk show to meet the boxing legend and honor his greatness. Tyson stated, “I’m vain. I know I’m great, but can I tell you something? In this situation, every head must bow, every tongue must confess: this is the greatest of all time.“
Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson have inspired millions of people from various parts of the world. Although Tyson lived an entirely different lifestyle with drugs and money, Ali was a true protagonist by working for the underprivileged with his social activism and brilliance in the boxing ring.
