Whenever there’s a discussion about the greatest boxers of all time, two names invariably top the list- Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Both of them brought different energy all together to the stadiums. However, the latter feels that Ali was far greater a fighter than him.

An emotional Tyson further added, “Me, fu*k me. Ali is a giant. There’s no way other fighters can match him. He would die for this sh*t, I’m not gonna die for this. That’s real talk. He’s a savage, he’s an animal, he is a different breed of person, he’s not like us.”
‘Iron Mike’ was the most successful boxer of his time. But as the years went by, his life led him to undesirable circumstances, which caused the decline of the unstoppable Tyson. He still holds Ali in high regard and insists that no other boxer could compete with him, despite being widely regarded as the most brutal boxer ever.
When Tyson referred to Ali as divine intervention from God
Iron Mike’s boxing ring presence could make you think that he is a man who feels nothing. But, the legend always breaks into tears while talking about his hero.

The Kid Dynamite once stated, “Sometimes when God makes individuals, he is showing off. Like Ali, who can be like that. Just amazing fighter, amazing human being, umm remarkable. And when you see him every time, he looks more like a model than a fighter. He is just more articulate, amazing.”
