Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier shared his thoughts on the matchup. He doesn't see Tyson scoring a knockout against the smaller Mayweather.
"One thing I know is that we won't see Mike Tyson knocking out Floyd Mayweather. Can you imagine if he just knocks out Floyd and Floyd is so much smaller? It would be the most watched thing you would ever see on TV. The clips would be the most viral thing you've ever seen in your life."

Both Tyson and Mayweather are former boxing champions with huge followings. Their different styles and sizes make for an interesting matchup that's got fans and experts curious about how it'll play out.
