    What if, instead of Cus, Tyson was trained by Eddie Futch?

    Or, let's say that Futch trained Tyson after he got out of prison.

    In either of these scenarios, what would have changed?

    Tysons would have been a whole load more disciplined.....or would he?

    Remember Futch did walk out on Bowe, i think hed do the same to Tyson.

    It would not have mattered Mike would have done things Mike's way. People don't change unless THEY want to. It's nice to know today that he chose to. When he was at his craziest though, that was all his decision. One can talk about Don King, Robin Givens, and Desiree Washington until they're blue in the face, but Mike Tyson is responsible for his decisions. I can't look at him and agree that he was victimized all of his life, look at him does he look like a guy that would be easy to bully and take advantage of?

    Probably the most likely scenario. Futch didn't tolerate a lot of BS. And Tyson was getting into his fair share of it.
