We will never know.
What I do know is that when Mike was training with Rooney he had the skill, desire, speed and power to trouble any fighter from any era.
Its frustrating to read the bollocks people write and spout that this fighter or that fighter would have beaten Mike because he was "mentally weak" they completely ignore the fact that those fighters would need to get Mike in to those later rounds and early in his career the only way they could do that was by holding and not putting an effort up.
Even then Mike can muster up a KO punch like when he dropped Douglas. Even with the eroded skills, had he trained as hard as he should have he would have finished him off.
