I can see that you are one of those Tyson worshippers that will make any excuse in the world be it against Lennox Lewis or any other fighter. Just the fact you bring up Kevin Rooney gives it all away.

I hate to burst your bubble but as far as stepping into the ring goes Tyson already had the skills. When he left Rooney he did not need to be taught how to fight. He choose to go another way and that is his fault no one elses. Do not try to dis-credit other fighters accomplishments for Tysons screw ups.

Lennox Lewis was no Trevor Berbick, by time Lewis hit 34yrs old he had become a MASTER ( no pun intended) boxer with incredible power. Who has the best resume of wins of any heavyweight champion of the last 20 years hands down.

The reasons you are giving sound like a cop out for not being able to back up your arguement
