Comments Thread For: Fenech Explains Why He Left Mike Tyson Over Face Tattoo

[Tatabanya]

There's another name I forgot about. Clifford Ettienne. The Black Rhino. He had some decent wins over Lamon Brewster and Lawrence Clay Bey. I vaguely remember hoping he'd pull it out over Fres Oquendo but it wasn't to be.

And, one of the few who made the most of his life sentence. He revealed himself to be a brilliant artist:

Although Etienne was before the Klitschko's era, I thought a comparison of era's could be good, especially now in this time of the 'pandemic' and lockdown's. Does the modeling warrant such long lockdowns while people struggle for food? But I digress, back to boxing talk. Top high level earners like Canelo are fine, but thoughts to those boxers at the lower tier for whom regular fights are important for them for daily expenses.

What a clown

Tyson didn't even need training to blast out Etienne, but yes, disciplined training is important. It just shows how bad the era of the Klitschko's were, although Vitali was quite good. But these guys wouldn't do well against Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield and Bowe. Tyson Fury would be quite competitive I think.

I have a few tattoos and no way it could’ve healed within a week to allow him to fight. Something isn’t adding up.

Ive larfed at jeff from time to time but hes a fuggin straight shooter and a real honest guy, I really feel sorry for him, mike just didn't give a fugg….jeff had him pinging for that fight and it was his last spectacular win, mike had the best trainers but I wanna know what happened to kevin rooney… but I gotta say a pre jail mike who had a proper camp, not like the fuggin buster douglas fight, a trained peak mike Tyson would of smashed every heavy weight in history, he was past his prime when he fought evander, and evander was with Victor conte on the all the juice… and a washed up junkie coke head when he fought chinny lenox lewis. lewis still claims it as his best win, what a wnnnnker… what a crying shame his career was , compaired to what it could of been

What happened to Kevin Rooney was the murderous crook Don King and Mike’s weak mind. The day Don King stepped in and fired Rooney and Bill Cayton. He placed him under incompetent management John Horne and Rory Holloway, two people few ever heard of and to this day still never heard of them. These choices were driven by the crook Don King. Follow that up with two unknown, has been trainers Jay Bright and Aaron Snowell. These two geniuses didn’t have endswell during the Douglas fight. How does the unified Heavyweight champion of the world have such bush league JR high trainers that incompetent? I’ll tell you how, Don King. If you ask me Don King set him up for the fall.

Mark my words, had Tyson kept his head straight, kept Rooney, his promotional and management team he would never had lost a fight. The drugs, women and booze King was supplying to a willing Tyson in full order was his downfall.

King is and always has been the lowest of scum on earth.

What the fùck is this bullshìt about?

Fenech was still in for Tyson's final fight vs Kevin McBride, tattoo or no, got his money after telling everybody he was one with Iron Mike, and went his own way after Tyson retired.

[TheMyspaceDayz]

Sounded like he jumped ship because he felt he had lost control. I don’t blame him. If Tyson lost that fight then it would have reflected badly on his corner.

Tyson is a good person.. He was probably forced to do that. There's always more to the story.
