      Seriously though i think he would have probably stayed at the top for longer but in the end i think he would have ended up in trouble.

          I think he would have been better for longer but I think that Tyson is the most overrated HW of all time.

          His power was incredible, don't get me wrong but Tyson wasn't all there mentally and I don't' think even Cuz could have kept him straight.

          Once Tyson started getting money and fame, everything went down hill. You can't control a guy like Tyson, on the real I think he's got serious mental problems that need professional attention.

            Holy and Lewis would have still both beaten Tyson......his peekaboo style never changed much and once he was 'worked out' he wasn't that special

              In Beyond the Glory it showed Tyson was very weak mentally when Cus was around. He was a time bomb waiting to explode. That thing with the trainers daughter was a sign of things to come. Cant remember his name. Havent watched the new movie yet so dont know what it showed.

                  It would have helped, but regardless, he was still at his best when with Rooney, and had a family like Team behind him.

                  As soon as Don King came in, and his 'Family' was fired, everything went downhill from there.
