Mike Tyson Fights Snoop Dogg

Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. Hey everyone, it's Michelle Marie coming to you from the House of Blues for the World Premiere of EA Sports Fight Night Round 4. I'm here with Knockout Legend Mike Tyson. Now this is the first time that you've appeared in a game in almost a decade. How do you feel about being part of this game?

Well, I'm very excited that the fact that I'm on the front cover with Muhammad Ali is just overwhelming to me and I'm just looking forward to it to be a success. Speaking from an egotistical point of view, I thought I should have been on the previous one. on the front cover. But you know, um I think timing's everything and it was just nothing more more fitting than me on there with my idol Muhammad Ali.

You're a legend and you've been in the ring with so many different people. How do you feel about boxing now compared to when you were boxing in the very very beginning?

It's just a different game now. So until they have a dynamics heavyweight fighter, boxing's not going to live up to the expectation it should.

If you can pick one boxer right now who you think is going to be the next greatest boxer, who would you say right now?

Floyd Maywed is the greatest fighter right now, regardless he or not, but he's the best fighter right now just somebody to prove him wrong. But Manny Pacquiao is right on the on the biting edge of doing that, I mean, becoming a real mega star where he has his particular own era. That's pretty big.

Are you ready? You're out there going head-to-head with Mike Tyson. You know, that's someone that definitely had you know, his mind geared towards what he wanted to do and he always, you know, came out on top. How do you feel about going head-to-head with him out there?

I mean, that was, first of all, I'm a fan and a friend of Mike, so that was like a blessing and a, you know, a curse at the same time because, you know, the fight against Mike Tyson, you could really get yourself hurt and I, I really put my best effort into it and I got the victory, you know what I'm saying?

So let me ask you this then, so if Snoop Dogg and Mike Tyson went in the ring for real out in Vegas, everybody watching, who would win?

I would run out the ring soon as it said ding.

You don't think you can I think you can conquer it all, though. I mean, come on.

I know I know now in the video game we can get it on, but in real life I don't want no parts of Mike. No way, no how.

Who do you like to play in the game?

There's a character on there named Malice. He look like me. Actually, he is me. So I like playing with Malice and then I also like uh Tommy Hearns because he was one of my greatest fighters growing up watching him as a kid. I love Tommy Hearns, the Jerry Curl and the long reach. And then I also fight with Sugar Ray Robinson because he got pretty hands.

What was it like seeing the crowd and you know, them cheering for you?

It was pretty fun. It was it was like a fight.

Do you ever worry that other fighters are going to steal your moves because they find them in the game?

No, I mean, it's all spontaneous for me when I'm doing stuff when I'm in the ring, moving, ducking and dodging. It's not spontaneous.

How do you really judge though who's the best? Because, you know, everyone has, you know, different weights and everything like that. Is there really a best?

I think that when you compare like whose style can beat mostly anybody's style with speed, power, movement, agility and everything, then that's when they start saying, oh, this is the pound for pound best because his style will match up good with anybody's style.

So, if you weren't a boxer, what do you think you'd be doing? Even if it wasn't even a sport, what other things would you love to do?

I don't know. I'd probably like to be like an accountant or something.

An accountant? Maybe. Do you want to be mine? Because I definitely need some help with my finances.

Yeah, I like to do it. I was pretty good in numbers in school. That was the only thing I really liked was math and PE.
