Mike Tyson was trained by cus damato and taught the peek a boo style would tyson of being as successful under eddie futch who wouldnt know the peek a boo style and who would have to teach mike a different style ? .
Tyson was one of the most offensive and defensively complete heavyweight boxers of all time when he was coming up in the eighties. No one could touch him and he usually dropped everyone he fought within the first few rounds. That was all Cus D'Amato, a little Rooney, but mostly D'Amato.
Sure, could Futch teach him a few things here or there... of course. However he still wouldn't have been able to heal Tyson's soul or self-destructive behavior. In the end, under ANY trainers tutilage he still would have ended up being were he is today.
if futch beleieved the peek a boo style wud waste energy, wtf wud he teach the frazier style, dat wastes even more energy
Futch was a far beeter trainer than damato look at how many world champions he trained compared to damatos 2 world champions . Futch knew ever style in the book and damato only knew the peek a boo style .
What style would futch of taught him, i dont think futch was a fan of the peek a boo style ,cause freddie roach was taught by futch and he said that the peek a boo style used up to much energy .
Would futch of taught tyson a different style ? . Futch did want to train tyson in the eighties when tyson was with rooney , I dont think futch rated rooney or agreed with the peek a boo style .
Because Futch was more into the purity of the sport....& also could train a fighter in a style other than the peek-a-boo. Not Cus...that pedophile was one-dimensional. Cus' limitations limited Tyson's long-term success. Cus should have had Mike using those fleet-feet for more than just coming forward.
He should have kept Tyson left-handed....moving, like he was a 200+lb Pernell Whitaker....or like an 80's Chris Byrd !
Just think how great Tyson would have been ? Even greater than he is/was, which is/was the goddamn greatest EVER.
I wish Tyson had TEN TRAINERS....that way ALL of his tremendous gifts would have been utilized...maximized.
He could have been history's most complete fighter !
:D.....................
How would futch of been any better than cus ? .

You give a young Tyson over to Eddie Futch, & fight folk all over the world would describe Mike as "a heavyweight Willie Pep".
Futch would have recognized Mike's fleet-footedness immediately, & maximized those gifts.
Tyson would STILL be heavyweight champ of the world- TODAY. Why ? Because under Futch....Mike would have never, & I mean never, been hit !
