Mike Tyson Robert Hanashiro / USA TODAY NETWORK

Floyd Mayweather claimed he was the best boxer of all time, saying he’s greater than Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson responded.

Mayweather had a glittering career retiring undefeated in fifty fights and now partakes in exhibition bouts.

But given that Muhammad Ali was ‘Iron Mike’s’ hero growing up it came as no surprise when he weighed in on the ‘The Greatest’ argument.

At the time Mayweather had said about Ali:

“Is Ali the same fighter that got beat by a fighter with seven fights? Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali when he only had seven fights. We’re just telling the truth. Next.”

Tyson clapped back at Mayweather’s comments in perfect fashion. He said,

“He’s very delusional. If he was anywhere near that realm of Muhammad Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can’t take his kids to school by himself and he’s talking about he’s great.”
