Yes, yes, yes, yes. I agree with you 1000000%. Mike should have went back to Rooney and stay with Don King as his promoter. Leaving Rooney was the death of Tyson's career. Rooney wasn't a yes man and he knew how to correctly train Mike for his fighting style. Even after coming out of prison Mike could have saved his career by going back to Rooney.

@@DreadMaximus We can only speculate the entire truth of what went down, but the one who does know isn't5 saying a word, and there are reasons for that. As fans we all know what would likely happened 'eventually'. Mike would have closed out the '90s with 60+ wins and probaby 52 KOs. 3 Losses. I think he would have smashed 'The Duke', split wth Holyfield, Lewis and Bowe. Mike stopped moving his head in certain fights and just kept charging in instead of boxing. But I can only speculate as well. Its obvious. Mike peak athletic prime was from 1985 through about '99. After that he gained weight and got slowed way down to look foolish. I'm a Tyson fan, but even Ali said Mike could have knocked him out, but of course Mike's humble reaction was like: "No, no, no..." But I agree with Ali. You can't beat a prime Mike by circle dancing around him.

If Tyson would have stayed with Rooney, then Mike would be an all time great fighter with the likes of Ali, Louis and others. Instead he is a top 20 fighter mainly because of his career from 1985-1989. Rooney was practically begging to train Tyson again because he wanted to see him fight at his maximum potential.

"God Bless The Almighty Dollar". It gets to all of us eventually. I actually think he was a 1950's fighter due to him being trained like one. Imagine footage of him versus those guys back then? People would be freaking out like, "Who the hell is this Tyson?!" Left hook, uppercut, to the body, both hands, ring presence. Even Ali said Mike would beat him, and that's Ali talking. "I would be fast and jabbing, but when he hit me..." (gesturing going down). But, let's talk about how he made it out alive...never mind inside the ring. That too puts him up in the top-10, top-7 of All Time.

Kevin's right, Mike did not want to be in the ring on that particular day. Along with Mike's body language as he walked to the ring (nearly tripped when he stepped between the ropes), the most telling sign of him not wanting to be there, was when the Japanese press were trying to present him with a Joe Louis belt just minutes before the fight began. He could be seen saying something to his trainers, as if he didn't want to receive anything and ended up ignoring the ceremony altogether, which came across as extremely rude on his part.

Mike needs to speak more on this. He owes kevin and the world more to speak on this. And one thing i noticed is that interviewers dont ask. It must be off limits from his manager. Its really sad this whole situation. And he makes up with the guy who pulled a gun on him before Rooney. Not cool.
