    I saw a video on Worldstar with Tyson talking about Floyd vs McGregor in a podcast.. He was giving McGregor props for lasting 10 rounds with "the best fighter in the last 50 or 100 years" ("Floyd) in a boxing match.. Does Tyson now think that highly of Floyd now?

    Floyd definitely is the "best" boxer of the last 50 years skill wise. But that's not the same with being the "greatest".

    I thought the video was click bate, but he said it like 4 times.. He was praising McGregor but inadvertently gave the ultimate praise to Floyd...

    He, like many people, respects Floyd as a fighter but not as a person.

    It's funny how people will bring up the catch weight clause Floyd put on Canelo, a weight that was less than 2lbs than Canelos fight with Trout. But never mention the clause ODH put on Floyd, which stipulated that Floyd could not weight less than 152(I think) at the weigh in. Of course this was an attempt by ODH to slow Mayweather. So the only reason the fight was close is because Floyd couldn't weight in at the weight he was comfortable.

    Yup. That fight told me all i needed to know about FlIVds so called "greatness". How are you in a close fight with a completely shot Oscar? Manny destroyed what was left after that.
