Former boxer tips Pacquiao to defeat Floyd Mayweather

Mike Tyson has tipped Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao to defeat Floyd Mayweather in the May 2 bout.

"I thought from the start that Paquiao is going to win. This guy is perpetual motion. He comes from every angle. He’s all energy. Always throwing punches. Never stops," Iron Mike said according to.

"Floyd tucks in and picks his shots and he is more accurate. But he doesn’t throw anything like Manny’s hundred punches a round," he added.

Former World Heavyweight Champion also warned Floyd Mayweather to abandon his conservative style or face defeat by Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas

Mike Tyson warned Floyd Mayweather that he will have to reinvent himself as a boxer if he is to beat Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight of all time.

"It’s unlikely he can knock Manny out so if he wants to win he’s got to change. Unless he throws more punches he can’t win the rounds," he said.

"He’s gotta do something different. He needs to take a look at how the only opponents who have given Pacquiao trouble are Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, who also throw a hundred a round," Tyson said  while promoting Champs, a feature-length documentary about the pitfalls as well as the thrills of the fight game in which he stars with arch-rival Evander Holyfield and which opens in US cinemas this today.
