    That was one of the last times mike's focus and training were aligned with his abilities.

    also this was the last night rooney was in his corner,king persuaded mike to fire rooney as he was a strict trainer who wanted tyson training just as hard as always even after he was a multi millionaire and king succeeded.

    me too look at the training video below and look how he could throw a 4 punch combination in 1 second! and the power!,speed.tyson would have battered lewis had they fough in their primes respectively.

    Mike was completely ready when he faced Trevor Berbick , more prepared than any fighter that i ever saw go into thier first world championship fight.. This fight (SPINKS) was the first time i saw Mike absolutely hell bent on winning by all costs.. Many say either this fight, or the Alexis Stewart fight was his most ferocious and prime showing.. He was well on his way to becoming unbeaten his whole career, he cared only about being the finest heavyweight on earth.. 3 things destracted Mike and it hurt his way of looking at life and boxing.. The loss of Jimmy Jacobs.. The complete infactuation of Robyn Givens, and the marriage to DKP.. If Jimmy would have stayed around 5 more years to guide Mike in Cus's absence and Givens would have just stayed away and gone ****ed herself.. and King let Mike be his own man .. He probly would have ran out of challengers.. We can all look back in anger .. Mike is a success story that went bad because of outside influences..

    Spinks came to lose, this win is nothing IMO, he had a 165lb deer in his headlights. Big deal.
