Ok, Mike Tyson born in 1960, goes under Cus' wing in 1973 at age 13 and turns pro in 1978 at age 18. Knockout after knockouts enues until 1980 where a 20 year old D'Mato trianed Mike Tyson with a record of 32-0 29 KO's gets his title shot. Where does his career play out from there?
Might be something like this. Than again it might not. Going into his first tittle (WBC) fight Tyson was 27-0 (25) Feb 1980 Larry Holmes 32-0-0 (WBC) In their real fight a past his prime Holmes gave Tyson problems for three rounds before Tyson knocked him out in the fourth. This is aganst a prime Holmes. I see this fight being mostly the same. Holmes frustrates Tyson for sevenrounds before Tyson catches him in the eighth round. 28-0 (26). June 1980 Larry Holmes 32-1-0 (rematch) This time Tyson gets to Holmes early ko 2 29-0 (27) Oct 1980. Mike Weaver 22-9-0 (WBA) I don't see Weaver giving Tyson any trubble. Ko 1 30-0 (28).

With the rust shaken off Tyson and Holyfield meat a second time. Holyfield's "hart" is his undoing as he takes too many punches. Tyson ko 9 54-0 (49) Nov 1992 Riddick Bowe 31-0-0 . Bowe is able to score from the outside and tie Tyson up on the inside. Tyson is able to score when Bowe decides to mix it up on the inside but so is Bowe. Bowe UD 9-3, 8-4, 8-4 54-1 (49) May 1993 Lennox Lewis 22-0-0. This is for a shot at Bowe. Tyson ko 5. Lewis at this point is still devloping. Nov 1993 Riddick Bowe 33-0-0 (rematch). The same as the first with Bowe by ko 11. 54-2 (49). Tyson retires again and finishes at 54-2 (49). I submit this only as a posibility and not as a matter of fact:rasta :bbb :smoke
Depends when he goes off the rails, he beats prime Holmes though in his shot, mayube not at 20, maybe that would happen at 22, they rushed him at 20 because the titlists were weaker, they'd wait longer for a prime holmes. This make make Tyson less of a spoiled twathole
yeah ..he went off the rails in a buttoned down late 80s early 90s ... how far off the rails does he go in the hedonistic late 70s early 80s
He beat Weaver, loses to Holmes, ko's Coetzee, Tate, and Cooney, and Page and Dokes a tossup, depending on their condition.
I don't know, Tyson was a headcase regardless. He got into trouble when he was with Cus as an amateur, but it was often covered up. I'm thinking D'Amato and Jacobs would've probably prolonged his success, but ultimately his demons would've taken over, to an extent.
