Mike Tyson has always paid homage to the greats of boxing, having studied the history of the sport’s legendary fighters as a youngster. When he went to live with his mentor Cus D’Amato as a teenager, Tyson had access to the trainer’s library of old bouts and learned about brilliant champions of the past.

Of course, Muhammad Ali was Tyson’s idol as he met the heavyweight icon during his time at a New York juvenile detention centre. The children were shown a film about Ali to inspire them, only for him to then walk in and introduce himself as an inspirational special guest. Tyson and Ali would later become friends when ‘Iron Mike’ took up ‘The Greatest’s’ old position as heavyweight champion. But the man Ali himself named as the best fighter of all time is Sugar Ray Robinson. Robinson reigned as welterweight and middleweight champion for various periods between 1946 and 1960.

His beautiful boxing ability is still world renowned to this day.

Ali said: “That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. “I’d say I’m the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound-for-pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.”

Trying to put Robinson’s brilliance into context, Tyson explained in conversation with Dame Lillard on the Hotboxin’ Podcast: “Have you ever watched Sugar Ray Robinson? Wasn’t he amazing?

“Listen right, Sugar Ray Robinson had 40 fights, he went 40-0. And then he lose one fight. “After he lost that one fight, he went 80 fights undefeated. The record was like [128-1].”

Robinson rounded off his career with a total of 200 fights.

Mike Tyson has revealed the toughest competitor of his illustrious career, during which he had a lot of fierce rivalries, and the answer may come as a surprise. Winning his first belt at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old, Tyson is the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title. "Me," Tyson said when asked about his toughest fight by Stephen Fulton Jr. in a recent episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson. "That's been my toughest fight all along." He went on to talk about another fight that stands out in his mind because it was the only one for which he smoked weed - his fight against Andrew Golota in 2000. "It didn't last long," he joked, referring to Golota's withdrawal after the first round.

"I thought, this guy wasn't worth training for... He's a pr***."

Tyson also shed light on some of the losses that he suffered during an otherwise incredible career. "I look at some of my losses as my best fights too," Tyson stated, calling those defeats part of a "learning process." "I didn't take myself seriously," Tyson said. "I think that's what humble is... I knew that I wasn't god, even though people told me I was."
