‘I Don’t Wanna Hear Floyd Talking Sh*t About Being 50–0’: Mike Tyson Brutally Silences Floyd Mayweather With Harsh Facts in Resurfaced Clip

Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the two luminaries of boxing, have caused waves both within and outside the ring. There’s no denying each fighter’s skill; they have left an impressive legacy that lives on even today.

But the animosity the two legends share toward one another is an open secret. Both boxers have been known to criticize and undermine each other on multiple occasions. Reportedly an incident in Las Vegas seems to have further aggravated the terms running on tenterhooks. Mike Tyson was unhappy upon learning that purportedly on Floyd Mayweather’s complaint, police raided his residence. Tyson mentioned in his book about learning that the alleged victim on whose complaint law enforcement reached his place happened to be ‘another big boxer.’ However, the bitterness seems yet to wane and spews out now and then.

Unbeaten at 50 – 0? So what asks Iron Mike?

Iron Mike got an opportunity to reiterate what he feels is the truth. During a gathering at his friend Henry Cejudo’s residence, an interviewer wanted to know why the former respected Chavez Jr. As Henry explained the reasons, Mike Tyson joined in. Later, Cejudo sought the former champion’s opinion on whether the junior needed to fight.

Mike Tyson explained, “Listen, that’s awesome what he did, right?…But it nothing compared to his father.” And the direction of the conversation took a different trajectory. He continued, “…90 fights before he lost!”

The interviewer corrected, “89-0, and then a draw, right?”

Everyone stood in awe of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.’s epic run. Tyson closed the chapter, “I don’t wanna hear Floyd talking shit about being 50-0…”

Why do Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. detest each other so much?

During the post-retirement period, once all the former WBC champions assembled, Iron Mike decided to test the resolve of the former undisputed Welterweight champion. Tyson sprinted toward Mayweather as if about to hit him, but he pulled back within a fraction of a second before he could touch The Money. However, the latter didn’t back down. Reportedly they had a little uncomfortable embrace later.

Next, comments by Mayweather proved a bit sour for Tyson to swallow.

Mayweather said in an interview that he was better than Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. The criticisms leveled at himself didn’t bother Iron Mike. But he was annoyed at the ones thrown at his idol Ali.

He made this claim based on his flawless record of 50-0 when he retired. Disagreeing, in an episode of his popular podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, the youngest Heavyweight champion said, “Floyd’s a great fighter, don’t get me wrong. He had 50 fights…”[Julio Cesar Chavez Sr] was 89-0 before he lost. “Don’t tell me about, ‘You’re the greatest fighter,’ with 50-0. “You’re great, no doubt about it, but 50-0? Chavez had 90. “He was fighting like, what? Eight times a year? Against whoever was in the rankings. “He wasn’t picking; it was, ‘Whoever you want, come on.'”

Julio Cesar Chavez is often rated as the pound-for-pound, the seventeenth-best boxer of all time. For nearly two-and-a-half decades, he dominated three weight divisions: Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Light Welterweight, and Welterweight. By the time Chavez retired in 2005, he had fought 115 fights. Out of which, he won 107. Eighty-six of his wins came his way through knockouts. In 2010 Chavez was inducted into the International Hall of Fame.
