If you were cus d'amato...

[Underboss]

He had heart once he was in the ring. Cus did all he could in that department like he did Patterson(Another man with a lot of heart). It was Tyson that screwed that up.

that's true.

[THE REAL NINJA]

I'd have him learn to fight a more defensive style in the same form as James Toney uses today.

I'd let him go all out for the first round or two but after that i'd make him rest on the ropes until the later rounds where he would still be fairly fresh.

One reason I think this would be helpful is that he would have never became as reliant on his power and would have developed an ability to take pressure better instead of always being the one to aply.

I would have also liked Mike Tyson to have the feet to be fleet footed and be able to float around the ring like Ali.....

But really I would have also liked to see him dance a bit if and when needed {If slugging or the Toney style arn't working}.

It may have helped in fights where he was well over sized and couldn't take a lot of damage from the bigger amn but he may have been able to tire them out with pot shots.

Just think of what it would be like if Roy Jones had Tyson's power and was pot shotting you in the ribs and stomach all night.

I wouldn't change anything, Cus did everything right...except taking care of himself
