VIDEO: Tyson calls Mayweather 'a very small, scared man'
Mike Tyson doesn't appreciate Floyd Mayweather comparing himself to Muhammad Ali - and had strong words for the bombastic fighter in an interview earlier this week.
Tyson laid into Mayweather for suggesting on ESPN's "First Take" last week that he's better than Ali. Mayweather (47-0) will face Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2) Saturday night looking to remain unbeaten in his pro career.

In a brief interview with the Undisputed Champion Network, Tyson shared his thoughts on Mayweather's comments:
He's very delusional. If he was anywhere near that realm of Ali, he'd be able to take his kids to school by himself. He's talking about (being) great? Greatness is not guarding himself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people. He's a very small, scared man.

As for Ali, he had his own take on Mayweather's comments.
