    If Cus Damato Lived And Continued To Train Tyson

    Ive Been an Iron Fan my entire life but have heavy respect for boxers like Holyfield and Lewis. but seriously though If Iron who is my 1st favouraite all time boxer had stayed with kevin rooney as his trainer after the Michael Spinks Fight? i reckon tyson wouldve been even more ferocious then ever i just wish 4 things.....

    1) he never associated himself with don king....
    2)he never married robin givens...
    3)he never went near desiree washington the lying b*tch
    4) that cus survived a little longer and that he stayed with kevin as his trainer.

    think about it i mean theres nothing i can do and im really glad that hes a reformed man now and all but if he did stay with kev i reckon he couldve been more respected by others like how lewis is respected or how Ali or Jack dempsey are.. anyways thats all i have to say thanks for reading and respect to all boxers...

    If he had stayed with Rooney and never married RG he'd have been top 10 all time easy.

      Providing Cus could have kept him away from women, I'm sure he'd have done a lot more.. To emulate Ali & Louis, was well within his capabilities..

        Not much would have Changed, it was always going to happen, the way Mike lived his life.

        Sadly Even Cus couldn't have controlled him.

        just my opinion though =/

          Tyson was too mentally weak a human being. D'Amato would have ended up leaving Tyson's camp and Tyson would have self-destructed anyway.

            Tyson only became that way when everything he loved was taken away from him.

            The only reason he boxed was because of Cus.

              Tyson would never have been beaten by Danny Williams, Lennox Lewis or Kevin McBride... yet he may well have still lost to Douglas, Holyfield, Foreman & Bowe

                I highly doubt he would have ended up the way he did if Cus didn't die. Just listen to Tyson's own words, he was like his Dog. And Cus told him all about the things he should avoid in the Boxing world and life in general. Unfortunately he died in his 70s. Would have been great if the man had another 10 years left.

                  Tyson would still have lost to Lewis, no matter what.
                  With Cus, Tyson's career wouldn't be that different. He had personal problems he couldn't overcome.
