Why do you think? They were all killers. They would have killed each other in gym wars and been useless as fighters. At least one of them would have been carried out of the ring psychologically devastated. Manny wanted his fighters to be in good shape for their fights, not recovering from injuries given to them by his other charges.

hella good point. That was def the case and makes perfect sense. I think they Broke Holy and Tyson up too because of that. They didnt want the heavyweight champ getting ****ed up by a 175 lbder

All I know is Vander turned pro a year before Mike as a cruiser and stayed there all while Mike tore heavy history a new one while setting purse records. Don't sound like Vander read U email telling him how invincible he was while going life and death vs stubby Qawi and the like.
