I don't know. He's an overrated trainer, but not as overrated as another former Tyson trainer, Teddy Atlas. Funny thing is, the former Tyson trainer who actually did the most as a trainer was the one who gets ridiculed the most, Aaron "Put the Condom on the Eye" Snowell. He actually improved a lot and did some good things after that disgrace.
Aaron Snowell improved him? I'm pretty he didn't look as good against Bruno, blew out Williams, and then lost to Douglas under Snowell.
Haven't heard anything of Rooney for a long time??, last i heard he was really fat and had a horrible drinking problem??:huh Last guy he trained i thought was Vinny PAZ???:think
Aaron Snowell improved after Tyson. He trained Frankie Randall to his win over J.C. Chavez, did some good work with Julian Jackson, and trained Tim Austin. Far better than that overrated drama queen behind the ESPN mic.
Work blocks it off. I'll watch it later, but I know enough about Atlas to know that he's incredibly overrated, thanks in no small part to people being fooled by an knowing about his career. Rooney was the right trainer for Tyson, they had great chemistry together, but really, what else did Rooney do of note? It helps to have a super talented guy like Tyson to look like a great trainer.
