        Atlas said on ESPN before that he was disappointed with Tyson because he was supposed to have an impact on society/youth, like the Ali of his day...No other fighter of Tyson's generation had the ability to have such an impact, Tyson had the World's attention, especially the troubled kids in the ******, but he couldn't live up to what "they" had in mind. I don't blame him though, D'amato and Jacobs died and Tyson wanted to call it a day...but even before that, I think Teddy was right, Tyson should of been disciplined more, but since D'amato was in his last days, Cus wanted to push as fast as he could...People say it doesn't mean that if Cus had stayed alive that Tyson would of been fine, but just look at the other example of Cus's students, Floyd Patterson.
        I think Tyson could have easily been 50-0. I think if Jacobs would have lived Mike would be a different man now. I always thought he had a great influence over Tyson.

          I think he could of made it to 50-0 too if things went as planned...that doesn't mean that I think he could of been undefeated in a "Fantasy" tournament, but that's a different discussion.

          It's all about having a great team around you, without that, you are going to have major problems

                  For some reason Hagler, he was pretty pissed in the end. I would've felt a little better if he would've gotten knocked out, then no one could've cheated him.

                      I feel sad for any of the boxers who were dramatically effected by boxing after they left it. Like Meldrick Taylor. Rid**** Bowe has some slurred speech, along with Tommy Hearns.
