How far could Tyson have gone if he had not fired Rooney?

[Elroy The Great]

You are delusional if you think he was the same fighter after prison. Im not even a big Tyson fan but the guy threw his career away. He wasnt focused on the sport anymore.

he was the same bum beater, no doubt.

[Elroy The Great]

Huh? Where are you getting that from?

uuummmmm...by him leaving

[Elroy The Great]

do you think? he'd had his best two wins 2 years before. He must have been a solid slightly post prime at least.

spinks ? he was fighting towards that tyson match, so yeah. he did his best and cashed out.

Spinks was a number?

huh ??????

He still beat bums, that doesnt mean he was the same fighter he was before.

put it this way, he was lucky he had so many before facing real comp.

mike wasnt built to last.

uuummmmm...by him leaving

That's it, that's all you got?

There is reasonable evidence that says the contrary.

ok, why did he retire ?

[Mooshashi]

He beats Douglas, screws a few thousand more hoes, loses to Holyfield and Lewis, and fades into the life that he has now...

[The Viper]

I don't care who says what, if Tyson stayed focused and not so fùcked up he could have beat them all. Holy, Lennox Bowe, Foreman, whoever.

The guy was unstoppable and for a HW his size, he was a supernova. Under 6'0" knocking out giants, since when have we had that since? We won't see it again in our lifetime, bet on it.

Yep...........This......
