Just before the Mayweather Manny Pacquiao's fight. Mayweather in an interview with ESPN, he said, and I quote “No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali were better than me,” This statement sparked a bit of outrage, that got Mike Tyson to respond with the following..
"He's very delusional. Listen, if he was anywhere near the realm of greatness of Ali, he would be able to take his kids to school by himself. ... He can't take his kids to school by himself, he's a little scared man. He's a very small, scared man."Though Mike Tyson has been the bigger man and apologised.
"I have no ill will towards Mayweather and have a great deal of respect for his discipline in and out of the ring. He's proven he is one of the greatest athletes of all time and will go down in history as such.
Laila Ali is Muhammad Ali's daughter, she's a retired 24 - 0 boxer. In a Television with CBS Sports, New York, she responded to the Money's ESPN statement.
“There have been times I’ve wanted to reach out to him and have a conversation with him, because I see a little boy even though he’s a grown man. I see a broken person. I know when you have money and you have ‘power’ and you have all these yes people around you, sometimes you don’t have that person to pull you aside and give it to you straight.
So every once in awhile, I’m just like, ‘You know what? I need to reach out to Floyd and I need to have a conversation with him.’ Because I don’t hate him. I dislike the way that he acts. I dislike the way that he treats people. And obviously, I’m definitely not down with this beating on women because that’s very cowardly. But…he needs somebody to reach out to him and guide him.”
