It was incredible and at times sad to see the most destructive force in boxing history succumb to the vultures that surrounded him and ultimately destroyed his career.

It is good and funny at times, I downloaded it months ago. When he was talking about Cus and when he first went there (to his house) he said he thought to himself "fuck man, I could rob these white guys"

Made me laugh, very honest of him.

often wonder what would have happened to Tyson if Cus had been younger and lasted another 10 years. Seems to be the only person Tyson ever truly listened to. Self destruction is pretty much inbulit in most people who come apart though, still.....

Tried to avoid this as most of these things turn out to be a rehash of old stuff, but I will give it a watch now based on what's being said.

Heh, I didn't know that Tyson had Gonorrhea when he fought Berbick for the WBC HW title.

And of course as someone pointed out, if Cus D'amato had lived a few more years how would the HW division, boxing history, and Tyson's life have turned out?

It's amazing when he sacked Rooney his original trainer appointed by Cus, his fighting skills went to absolute shit. It was the 1st Bruno fight and he was hit more times in that fight than all of his fights combined up to that point. And we all know what happened in the Douglass fight when the trainer was using an water balloon to ice down Tyson's eye.

Tyson could've been arguably the greatest heavyweight ever had Cus never passed so early in his career. He was the only person who could "control" Mike. That's what I think at least.

I would like to think that may have been the case, ironically the people pulling the strings after Cus died tried to put their own people in place and that was part of his undoing. With Rooney there he had someone who could call out the combination numbers they used to work on and switch things around, he seemed to follow instructions automatically that way.
Afterwards he just didn't have the same movement, but we'll never really know.
