Mike Tyson has called Floyd Mayweather Jr out for ducking Manny Pacquiao for so long, and labeled the five-division world champion as a “small, scared man.”

Mike Tyson is clearly rooting for Manny Pacquiao in this Saturday’s boxing mega-fight, along with the vast majority of fans, and he hasn’t hesitated to tell the media how he really feels about the undefeated champion.

Arrogance is one of the most unappealing traits to possess, and Floyd Mayweather Jr has an infinite amount of it. Mayweather recently proclaimed that he was better than Muhammad Ali, and as we all know, self-praise is no praise.

Speaking to Undisputed Champion Network after the pre-fight press conference, Tyson had some choice words for the unpopular Mayweather.

Being the no-holds-barred, outspoken mouthpiece that he is, Mayweather will undoubtedly fire back at Tyson in the near future, but he will most likely wait until AFTER his bout with Manny.

In Mayweather versus Pacquiao, I don’t think there’s ever been a more clear-cut case of good versus bad, humble versus arrogant, and how sweet would it be to see good prevail in this mega-fight?

We can only hope that if Pacquiao fails to do it in the ring, Tyson or 50 Cent will step up and do it to Mayweather outside the ring!
