Floyd Mayweather Wouldn't Hurt Me In Boxing Match, Says Mike Tyson Actor

Mixed martial artist and Hollywood actor Michael Jai White has a lot to say about a fantasy boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

White, who played Mike Tyson in the 1995 movie title "Tyson," shared an interesting insight as a response to American comedian Faizon Love’s claim that Mayweather would beat him up in both boxing and street fight.

According to White, it’s not even “fair” to match him up against a significantly smaller boxer like Mayweather for any kind of fight.

But as far as boxing is concerned, the veteran actor admitted that “Money” would make easy work on him.

“I love Floyd Mayweather, okay? It’s plain and simple. It’s not fair,” White pointed out in an exclusive interview on VladTV. “A boxing match? Me boxing Floyd Mayweather? Oh, I don’t think I’d win that. It’s no way. I couldn’t touch him. He’s way too damn fast. That guy is too damn skilled. There’s no way I can see me landing [a punch] on him.”

However, White is certain that a fighter in Mayweather’s size wouldn’t hurt him. Even more interesting, the “Undisputed” movie star thinks he would have a great time getting hit by the undefeated pugilist inside the ring.

“But it’s not like he [Mayweather] would beat me up,” the 53-year-old explained. “He’d be tagging me up and I’ll be laughing my a— off because I’d be so entertained by it.”

“It’d very hard for somebody that size to really hurt somebody [in my size],” he added. “I mean I know how to take shots. I’ve been fighting 230-pounders, 250-pounders even bare knuckle over the years.”

Aside from starring in heavy action and MMA-inspired movies, White had also sparred with professional fighters.

As an accomplished practitioner, White has earned legitimate black belts in seven different disciplines, including shotokan karate, taekwondo and wushu.

For the Brooklyn native, MMA and boxing are two completely different entities. Citing an example in relation to a fantasy fight against Mayweather, White suggests that boxers might not be able to handle the kicks of a true black-belter like him.

“To get a black belt we kickin’, we breakin’ Louisville sluggers with our shin,” he emphasized. “I’ve trained my bones and shins and everything to break objects. Like a leg kick, if I'm gonna leg kick a boxer, how [are] you gonna stop that?”

In 2017, Mayweather won a professional boxing match against a professional MMA athlete in UFC star Conor McGregor. White, on the other hand, has never competed professionally.
