    Then there would be the new generation of Bowe and Lennox who at their best were top fighters. An older and aging Tyson would have eventually lost to them i think.

    Tyson was showing decline in the Bruno fight.
    If Tyson still had Cus and Jacobs would he have even wasted time fighting the likes of Douglas?

    They were an exceptional team and what they would have had back then is akin to Mayweather today. It would have all been big fights, big names, no risks for little reward. The Foreman fight would have happened, Holyfield, Bowe...

    I think Tokyo was putting up big money he fought there twice. Cayton was still there then.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
