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’.
