Back in the day, while they were active, Shaquille O’Neal shared a rivalry with fellow basketball player Charles Barkley. At a game in 1999, a fight broke out between O’Neal and Barkley when the Houston Rockets faced the L.A. Lakers in the league. Years later when Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley sat together for Inside the NBA, TNT, there was an allusion to that famous clip.

However, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson offered an analysis of that particular fight years ago. ‘Iron’ answered how he received the clip. In addition, he opined on what the duo did wrong. Should there have ever been a brawl between Barkley and O’Neal?

Tyson answered, “I just think it’s really funny. It’s really funny. Don’t fight if that’s not what you do. Just don’t do it. Shaq was a little awkward and hesitant, hesitating to throw a punch. And they didn’t come across as good fighters.”

According to ‘Iron’ Mike, it was better if fighting was left to the professionals who could make an answer for every swing. Having said that, Tyson focused on ‘Chuck’.

Mike Tyson wanted to beat up Charles Barkley

Although Tyson felt Shaquille O’Neal was a little hesitant, he asserted that he would not have hesitated to fight. In fact, ‘Iron‘ Mike would have “kicked” Charles Barkley’s “a**.“He expressed, “By the way, Chuck, I will kick your a**. You know I would. I would just kick your a**. I will kick your a**. Kick it!”

After the premiere of the Mike Tyson clip, everyone, including Charles Barkley, laughed. To add to this, Barkley with a calm demeanor, even declared that Tyson would beat him up.
