Right now, what he’s doing seems good, but once he faces a real fighter, it’ll turn bad. Floyd Mayweather has just reacted to Mike Tyson’s new training footage, expressing dissatisfaction with Tyson’s bout against Jake Paul. Nate Diaz also chimed in, declaring his support for Tyson as the “GOAT” and hinting at his own rematch aspirations.

Canelo Alvarez, however, has shown disinterest in the upcoming fight, emphasizing that while Netflix’s involvement might be beneficial for boxing, this particular matchup doesn’t align with his interests. Manny Pacquiao and British boxing legend Ricky Hatton have expressed doubts about the fight’s legitimacy, with Hatton particularly critical of YouTube personalities entering professional boxing.

Former boxers and industry figures like David Benavidez and Mauricio Sulaiman have highlighted the risks involved for Tyson, given his age, while others like Kenny Rainford believe Tyson’s experience will prevail. Despite criticisms, Tyson’s recent training footage and menacing message to Paul have reignited interest in the fight.

Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather has reacted with a mix of admiration and concern, expressing doubts about Tyson’s decision while also acknowledging Tyson’s legendary status. Mayweather’s comments add another layer to the ongoing debate surrounding the fight’s significance and legitimacy.

Tyson remains steadfast in his confidence, citing his willingness to confront fear and adversity throughout his career. As the fight approaches, opinions remain divided, but the allure of seeing two iconic figures from different eras face off promises to make it an event watched and debated by fans and critics alike.
