Greatest Heavyweight Boxer of All-Time?

Posted By: George Dreher

I think Tyson was invincible until he fired Kevin Rooney. Rooney has a punch/number system that he would yell from the corner and Tyson would respond with combinations. When Rooney left, the system was dead and Tyson had no direction in the ring. And Rooney was there from the very beginning with Cus D'Amato.
It is sad to think that the greatness of a boxer depends upon his corner, but in Tyson's case that was a fact. With Rooney in his corner, Tyson would have walked right through Lewis' jab and destroyed Holyfield.
