I remember Teddy Atlas talking about this fight. He was saying how everyone was going "Tyson is back!" but that he could tell Tyson had no chance in reclaiming the heavyweight crown. He was going on how his body language was all wrong and every time he slipped a punch he'd look down and away from Etienne. I don't think he looked too bad, but you can't be afraid of punches and you can't come in with the stamina to only fight 4 rounds.
Bottom line: Tyson was **** after Rooney, let alone after prison. I would even take post-prison Tyson that fought Bruno the second time over this version of Tyson that fought Etienne or the one that Roach trained for Williams.
