I guess with D'Amato, everything was built on offense and good head defense to step inside and land blows off the defense. But when his fighters got old they didn't have the opening off the defense anymore since the defense was gone. But his style was successful, but not for long term boxing.
it could have been effective for a long time had tyson stayed focused and dedicated(ie no distractions) and stayed with the white boys who made him the fighter he became
