I only wonder how things would have turned out if Tyson's trainer and mentor Cus Damato had not died. Once that happened the vultures of boxing moved in for the kill and made lots of money but there was no one to guide Tyson the way Damato did. I can remember a couple of fights where Tyson was almost like a limbo dancer, he got so low to avoid the blows it was unbelievable! He still has the punch but, like in the Lewis fight, now he tries to take 50 to the head to get 1 of his own in. I don't care how tough you are-ain't no one can win that way! Good defence, swift hands and a devastating punch second to none made the young Damato trained Tyson a formidable foe for anyone past and present.
