    Tyson loosing to Douglas was bound to happen cause Tyson no longer trained properly and was doing drugs and alcohol. Otherwise, it was never gonna happen.

    No they wouldn't have, he'd retire undefeated.

    Yes he did. He had the speed, power and skills necessary.


    He was strong enough. He had a very rough life.

    He was more than capable of going the 12 rounds in his prime. And it rarely took him that long to take care of business.

    Prime Fury was not around back then. Plus Mike never cared what his opponents say.

    Don King ripped Tyson off while Cus provided a good trainer for Mike in Rooney who instilled the peek a boo style and method into Mike, Givens just wanted Mike`s money and loved his fame.

    What are talking about? A brown dog could train Tyson as long as Tyson was exerting effort in training. Show me Rooney's other champions? Rooney was a dud trainer who only applied Cus' collection of methods - none of it was his, and his main asset was that he was loyal and plaint to Cus and Jacobs. He was as much of a plant as Aaron Snowball was.

    Re. King and the Givens family, your missing the point entirely.

    Fundamentals make great fighters, look at Tyson`s slipping combo`s and footwork he was like Patterson that`s the peek a boo, after Rooney was fired Tyson began to slip.

    What are you trying to say? The peek a boo is an amazing style of fighting, Patterson was brilliant Cus was a genius.

    I simply asked you did Rooney instill it or Cus? you said Rooney instilled it but i think it was Cus who instilled it and Rooney who kept it fine tuned.

    And who doesn't love a bit of Devo?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    It wasn't a rock!!!!!

    Live a little Mark, live a little mate.

    Yea, no.

    I'm waiting for the punchline here? .....who did Tyson duck in his prime years 1986-90?

    He not only cleaned out the division but unified the 3 belts. Then he went a step further and KOd the lineal champ. Spinks. So.ii can let you sit on a bizzare opinion but you don't get your own facts.
