If Cus D'Amato doesn't die in the 80's, Mike Tyson goes undefeated.

I think a lot of that had to do w/ Cus being gone though. You can tell that he was the only one that had Mikes ear in a meaningful way.

True Cus did have his ear more than anyone, but I don't think that would have changed Mike's horrible judgment skills of the characters of people all that much.

Mike woulda been more focused for sure, but I still think his horrible judgment would have caught up with him. Cus couldn't make all of mike's decisions, or be on his shoulder at all times to tell him what the right, or smartest, thing to do is.

If Hatton didn't drink or eat burgers he would prob be P4P#1 now.

Don't compare that trash to Iron Mike.

When Cus died it seemed Mikes fighting spirit died. From that point on he turned to the dark side and lost focus.

If Cus had lived at least till the mid 90's, Mike probably never loses and goes down as the #1 HW of all time.

Cus was the only one that Mike really loved and trusted (or so it seems), he would've looked out for Mike. Buster Douglas would've been roadkill for a focused Mike Tyson.

Coulda woulda shoulda...yeah yeah I know the haters are gonna go there...but in all honestly you hit the nail right in the head with your post....Mike could been woulda been and shoulda been all that but in his own words "a ****** nugg is always a ****** nugg no matter how much money fame or bitches he gots"....you need good peeps to pull you away from that mentality and on the right path...as good as Mike was he let alot get away...true story!

tyson going undefeated

I think he wins many fights that he lost like the buster douglas fight but I think he still loses the holyfied fight but theres no dout that things would have been different.

lol, don't worry I know he wouldn't but saying this and that about how history would of turned out is ******.

Maybe if he did survive into the 90's doesn't mean he would be training still, he might of retired, might of caught a disease than made him unable to be mobile to train Mike... ect

OMG you're so right. Ive never thought of that before. Wow you're a genious my friend like how you made the link between Cus's death and Tyson's downfall. I wouldve never made that link. You got some special skills, ever thought of commentating at HBO?

You could compare it to the Dirrell - Froch fight (Ya ya, boo you too)

Dirrell could of beat Froch to a pulp if he just kept the attack up instead of clinching ... ya, it's simple to say that but if he had done that he would of got caught flush by Froch's shots, that's the reason why he was doing it and how history played it out.

I don't know about undefeated, but i think he would have been guided better. Cus would have been able to watch out for Mike, or rather keep him all to himself. Tyson's still one of my favorite boxers of all time.
