Tyson is just the latest big name to weigh in with an opinion
on how the long-awaited showdown between the two pound-for-pound greats might
go when they step into the ring in Las
Vegas on May 2.
“He has to fight,” Tyson said this week of Mayweather, in a
video posted on YouTube.
“If he’s not going to score, he is going to lose the round.
Also, if he is laid back, he is going to lose the round.”
Tyson says the fighters who have troubled Pacquiao have been
prolific punchers.
“Floyd doesn’t throw nowhere near 100 punches a round,” he
said. “He’s more, you know, scientific about it. He really plots a lot. And he
sits around and he poses. And this guy (Pacquiao) is all over — fading, moving.
“I just don’t think (Mayweather) is going to be able to play
that plotting, skill … Floyd’s got to fight the first couple of rounds.”
