Daniel Cormier has predicted something fans won’t see in Floyd Mayweather vs Mike Tyson.

Earlier this week, the all-time greats announced that they’ll go head-to-head in an exhibition bout next year.

The pair have shared a feud since Tyson took issue with Mayweather, saying he’s greater than Muhammad Ali.

Now they can finally settle their differences, but in the eyes of the former two-weight UFC champion, there’s zero chance that one of the boxers will get finished.

Daniel Cormier says Mike Tyson won’t KO Floyd Mayweather

Daniel Cormier is adamant that Floyd Mayweather won’t get knocked out by Mike Tyson.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the MMA legend said: “One thing I do know we won’t see is Mike Tyson starch Floyd Mayweather.”

He continued: “Could you imagine if he just knocks out Floyd and Floyd is that much smaller?

“It would be the most viewed thing you’d ever see on TV. The clips would be the most viral s— you’d ever seen in your life.”

‘Floyd Mayweather should’ve just fought me’, claims boxing superstar

While a bizarre contest, Mayweather vs Tyson will likely do astronomical numbers.

However, there’s another boxer who would much rather it was him setting foot inside the ring with ‘Money’.

Following the announcement of the bout, a superstar said Mayweather should’ve fought him.
