Mike Tyson is an overrated boxer

Teddy Atlas put it best. When Cus died so did Tyson's protection from the leaches. Then Don King convinced him to fire Kevin Rooney the one guy he had left in his corner.

So this is reason why Tyson start loosing and quitting I guess this is the reason why Tyson bit Holyfield on the ear. He bit Lennox Lewis on the ankle at their press conference. If you a skill Boxer. Its no reason to bite.

Dude I (actually my father) have tapes of Mike Tyson from the 80's when he was an amateur until his last fight. After Rooney was gone his skills (head movement, footwork, defense, peek-a-boo style, pressure point combinations, ect) went with it. Are you really a boxing fan? :lol:

You saw a 20 year old kid clean out the heavyweight division in the 80's and unify the heavyweight titles for the first time in years. You saw a guy become the youngest champ ever. You saw a two time gold medalist in the junior olympics and you call that overrated?? Seriously? Or wait........Did you actually see it?

All of the folks he fought in that tournament to unify the HW titles were top ranked heavyweights. Now you're speculating.

Been a fan of boxing for Years. Who idea it was to get rid of Rooney? If Rooney had that much of impact. Tyson should of never fired the man. I know they had personal differences but still they can be worked out, especially if they a asset in your career. Tyson has no one to blame but himself. Even after firing Rooney, Tyson had some of the best trainers in boxing.
 
Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!”

(When Lennox Lewis Whoop his asss, Tyson said after the fight. "I Love Lennox MOMMA" LOL He got his brains beat out
