    Tyson was asked what he would change if he could go back and do something over.

    "Oh no I don’t want anything to change. I don’t know. If anything changed and my ego got any bigger and inflamed I’d probably be dead or something so everything turned out the right way. I became humble because this is what I had to learn, if you’re not humble in this world, the world will thrust humbleness upon you."


    -where's Floyd?

    Give Floyd time. He's still on top - but his legal trouble and attitude to money could well lay him low in the future.

    Floyd in 20 years time will be giving motivational speeches in boot camps and prisons across America.

    You cant really compare the two. Mayweather talks **** in a joking manner. While he is cocky as ****, you still get the sense that its an act he is putting up. Tyson on the other hand would say he would eat your children or would **** you till u loved him, and you would ****ing believe him. To me, Tyson seemed more real. He was legit and you knew he wasnt putting on an act and I think thats why he ended becoming more humble. But with Mayweather, I dont really see him changing and I can picture him ending up like Roger.

    They are hardly comparable if truth be told.

    Tyson was a far more dangerous individual. Is.

    Tyson is a manic depressive and downright scary at times. Mayweather is an impulsive and arrogant *****. The two really don't seem comparable, although both are much more violent than your average person.

    What do you mean where's Floyd?

    Tyson was arrogant to the point that he thought he was invincible. Floyd doesn't drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, which is what got Tyson in trouble. He never underestimates his opponents because he is able to control his ego and humble himself to go out there and train hard; he is one of the most hardworking and dedicated boxers in the sport.

    Sure Floyd calls out opponents and plays the villain but he makes sure the situation does not get out of hand and escalate to something other than promotion. Plus, after a fight, he always commends his opponents and shows respect.

    No comparison

    Mike Tyson had more natural talent then Floyd Mayweather and squandered it.
