Tommy Morrison was another fighter that Tyson didn't fight and Tommy did not fight Foreman the way Tyson would have. Tyson didn't have it in him to stick and move. Holyfield went tooth and nail with Foreman....Mike Tyson got the shit kicked out of him bar 1 big punch to start the fight, after that it was ALL Evander. Also, Foreman was only ever stopped 1 time....it's not like the guy didn't face big punchers either: Frazier, Ron Lyle, Cooney, Bert Cooper. Comparing Foreman's power to Smith, Ruddock, and Bruno is blasphemy!!! Foreman's chin and power allowed him to become the oldest ever heavyweight champion, if you think Mike Tyson could have undone him with 1 or 2 haymakers you're shrooming!

OK if Tyson was great with Rooney then why weren't other heavyweights great with Rooney? If Don King ruined Tyson, then why were other heavyweights able to have success with him? Mike Tyson was a great fighter, but he had flaws and who better to exploit those flaws than George Foreman? Mike Tyson once claimed he was Sonny Liston....Well George Foreman studied under Sonny Liston, was better than Sonny Liston, was meaner than Sonny Liston, and would have made Tyson cry like a little school girl.

Ask Tim Witherspoon what working with King was like. Why Foreman wouldnt sign the Tyson fight, why Lewis would never work with King.

Its not so much Rooney but the style that D'Amato created. Mike needs a trainer that knows that style which is more a system.
