Iron Mike Tyson doesn't give Conor McGregor much of a chance in his upcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather

Mike Tyson doesn't think Conor McGregor has much of a chance against Floyd Mayweather.

As the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor draws nearer, more and more experts are making their predictions for how the bout will go.

The vast majority of the boxing world believes Mayweather will handle McGregor with relative ease, giving the mixed martial artist little chance of beating one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time in the ring.

But there are others who believe McGregor has a chance to land a knockout blow in the first four rounds as he promised during the pair's promotional tour, due to McGregor's striking ability, Mayweather's problems with south paws, and the new angles the Irishman will be using.

Count Iron Mike Tyson in the former group. In a recent appearance on ESPN's "Pardon My Take," Tyson expressed plainly what he believes will happen in the upcoming bout. "He's gonna get killed," Tyson said.

For now, the fight in the ring will have to suffice for Tyson. Mayweather and McGregor will face off in Las Vegas on August 26th.
