if he did train like like mayweather . he would of being undefeated without a doubt . kevin rooney said that tyson only ever showed 10 or 20 % of what he could been in the pro ring he left the other 80 or 90 % of his skills in the gym because he found it hard to bring them out with the pressured atmosphere of fighting in front of millions of people . tyson developed early but that doesent mean he still didnt have a whole lot to learn.

That has to do more with his mentality than with his training.

I think saying he'd be undefeated is kinda pushing it but if he train as hard as Floyd and was as focused he would've done much greater things in the ring than he did...

If this if that

what if blah blah blah

All these if threads make no sense. Put it on a Tyson board or something

The training I heard Tyson did when with Rooney was hardcore. He worked out for hours and hours.

Trained like Mayweather in what sense? Style wise or Conditioning.

Style wise it woul dhave made him a worse fighter by far

Conditioning - it would have made no difference. Its not like he fights on the back foot and counters, he needs more stamina than Mayweather.
