Do you realise how difficult it is to keep all the titles together and make that many defences? Its very difficult which is why Lewis and Holyfield could not match Mikes dominance.
Do not make out alphabet crap means anything.

At the time Tyson was THE MAN, there was no else coming close to making $10 Million plus a fight.

If you are the WBA, C or IBF do you keep taking your cut from Tyson defences, or do you strip him for not fighting Adilson Rodrigues and set up the money fight that is Rodrigues/Witherspoon for your vacant crown?

On top of this as Messrs Lee, Suliman and Mendoza found out; if you running a little short of dosh, Mr King was very willing to help his 'friends'...

Trust me, Kin... I mean Tyson had no problems keeping his gaudy belts together!
