If Cus d'amato didn't die...

[T-97]

He would have stayed at the top for longer, and I doubt he would've lost to Buster... but, he was a time bomb, and would've gone off eventually Cus or no Cus IMO, it's just a matter of how long it would take.

[hookoutofhell]

he would have been a better HW no doubt - but imo i agree with the consensus opinion that a guy like tyson is hard to keep on the straight and narrow, he would have self imploded a littler bit later if cus was still around.

he was always a very weak guy mentally and didn't have that desire for the game or ceompetition, or proving himself that other fighters like holy and lewis had.

Tyson is so overrated, it's disguisting.

Tyson is so overrated, it's disguisting.

i agree

even if Tyson was completely sane he could never be greater than Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis

they are just plain better

He still would have faded early, but his reign would have lasted longer. Probably through the early 90's where he'd run into Foreman, McCall, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, etc. Surely he wouldn't beat all of those guys.

[MANGLER]

Tyson woulda done much better if Cus lived longer. No guarantee he'd be the HW GOAT, but he surely woulda ended up wit a strong argument imo.
