Actually, when Tyson was younger and first started his boxing career and won the titles at the age of 20, he may very well have been the best boxer ever. His strength was unmatched, his hand speed was matched only by Ali (in the heavyweight division), he had a chin that couldn't be rocked and he could in fact move (although it was always forward, which was kinda cool).
It was only after Cus died and Tyson lost his focus with no one to guide him that Tyson turned into a psychopath.
I honestly think if Cus D'Amoto had not died, Tyson would be regarded today as the best heavyweight ever without question, and he definitely would not have had all the extraneous problems he ended up having.

i think ur 100% correct. cus was like his father. i'm still in awe when i see tyson's early fights, much like when i watch ali, frazier or foreman.
