....Of course there will be the guys who assume there's just no way, no how, anything outside of running over Tyson with a tank would even slow the guy down much less lead to his defeat, but humor me. How does one stop the Cus D'Mato style?
The D'Amato style/system is a very good way to fight if you can master it. I remember Tyson went to train with Buddy MgGirt not long before he finished for good and Buddy said he found that the D'Amato style was surprising in that he thought it was all about the peekabo style (not getting hit) but infact it was about repositioning yourself for the next punch with each you throw. Also, Cus's other famous heavy Floyd Patterson was said by the man himself to be Alis most skillfull opponent.

Cus must have turned in his grave when he watched King creep in on the scene and slowly ruin his (imature and impressionable) masterpiece. If Mike had Cus for another ten years I think the first fiter to really trouble him would have been Bowe because I truly believe that the Tyson that worked for openings and bothered with defence would have been far too much for Holyfield. I also dont think Lewis would have becomema champ as early as he did but I do think Mike would have slowed down or lost interest at some point and a Douglas type fight would have been inevitable but much further down the road, probably a further 5 years and everyone would have been bitching (just like they do now) before hand that the division was dead because Mike had no real chalengers as even Larry Holmes a man he knocked out 7 years ealier is beating and pushing the top contenders.
