The two go toe-to-toe in Las Vegas on May 2 and "the Greatest" is apparently all in on the Filipino underdog
Muhammad Ali wants Manny Pacquaio to beat Floyd Mayweather in May's Las Vegas blockbuster.
The two foes will go toe-to-toe at the MGM Arena on May 2 in one of the most eagerly anticipated fights in decades.
Unbeaten Mayweather is the favourite to emerge victorious but the underdog Filipino has received backing from the greatest fighter of all.
Ali's daughter Rasheda revealed that her dad is firmly on Pacquiao's side and will be rooting for him on fight night.
Tyson says the fighters who have troubled Pacquiao have been prolific punchers.
"Floyd doesn't throw nowhere near 100 punches a round," he said. "He's more, you know, scientific about it. He really plots a lot. And he sits around and he poses. And this guy (Pacquiao) is all over - fading, moving.
"I just don't think (Mayweather) is going to be able to play that plotting, skill ... Floyd's got to fight the first couple of rounds."
Tyson isn't the only former heavyweight world champion who has his eye on Pacquiao-Mayweather.
