I think so. Mike never had been challenged physically except by Douglas. other then that Mike never had someone fire right back. Tyson was weak mentally , confidence wise. he needed reassurance all the time, he was like a small child mentally. Someone like Evander who would fight right back and had hand speed and high determination factor would beat Tyson 9 out of 10 times. . now if Rooney was in Tyson's corner I would favor Tyson.
