A boxing fan has asked social media who wins in a fight between a prime Floyd Mayweather and a prime Mike Tyson at the same weight.
@LordSizwe has divided opinion after posing a fantasy boxing match up between Mayweather and Tyson.

On Twitter, he presented: "Prime Floyd Mayweather VS Mike Tyson ??? Who you putting your money on? (same weight division)."
Needless to say, the hypothetical clash between the two greats sent social media into overdrive with boxing fans putting forward an argument for both men.
"No one could beat Mike at his best. It was impossible," one argued.

A second wrote: "Whoever say Floyd would win clearly never seen Mike Tyson fight and probably just think he was just a boxer who relied on his right hand
Mike Tyson knew defence, he had speed and he could fight all rounds in his prime
Even George Foreman was afraid of Mike."
A third added: "Mayweather was/is a boxer, Tyson a slugger, im pretty sure we all saw with Wilder vs Fury and AJ vs Ruiz 2 that pure boxing wins anyday."
Another said: "I'll always pick Floyd, he was a very technical boxer, that will pull through in any fight."
Both fighters, meanwhile, are eyeing a return to the sport with the former heavyweight world champion in terrifying form ahead of a charity/exhibition bout, while 'Money' is set to come out of retirement this year.
