In one of his podcasts, He said: “Mike Tyson in his prime. In those years from like 86-87-88-90, whatever those years were where he was just storming the gates. I’d put that Mike Tyson up against anybody who ever lived. That guy was a special fighter. He was just a juggernaut, just you couldn’t stop him. He was a different guy, it’s like a different model of fighter that we have ever seen in the heavyweight division before. A fucking destroyer man, where every fight was an execution.“
