DFW Boxing is Back you do know what your talking about mate yes

People have no idea, a lot of people knew what he meant to Tyson not just you, I knew

Why didnt he run after Mike and bring him back ?

@@vcl6741 he tried. Apparently Kevin tried also to connect after the Douglas loss. However when Don King controls your money and your career ..he damn sure was making sure Rooney was far away from Tyson.

Tyson was with Rooney from the beginning before Tyson turned into this absolute savage that he would Go on to be. Tyson trusted Rooney, he had a connection with Rooney. He LISTENED to Rooney, and didn't wanna let him down. Mike needed guidance. He needed a leader. He was as an immature person as there is, and we never knew that till he was the undisputed champ and was filthy rich, and could make his own decisions. And those decisions were heavily impacted by those fucking leeches he was surrounded with. Rooney cared about Mike before the fame and success! Had Tyson never got away from Rooney his career wouldve looked a lot different. We already consider him a top 10 great and he literally gave his full potential for 4 years. Im not saying he wouldve been 60-0. But he would've held those titles for alot longer. But in his prime, my God he was special. The best speed to power ratio that's ever been. Combine that with his hea movement and ring mobility and we seen the best boxing specimen that was ever created. Hands down! In my honest opinion, I think he destroys Ali. I think foreman would be a guy i think Tyson would have trouble with.

Johnny Blaze89 HMMM so true

Johnny Blaze89 Haha that was the first thing that came to my mind too!

gsxerwhite I thought the same. Strange that he does. Notice too...he is slow...punchdrunk perhaps...or possibly showing early stages of Alzheimers or Parkinson's. Sad. And this was 6 years ago. I wonder how he is now.

Kevin Meyers i think

Betrayed the same way as well. He's the only guy left that knows that particular style of boxing.

No, Don King brainwashed mike tyson to sign a contract with one of don king coaches, Mike has admitted on several occasions that he wants to apologize to Rooney and Atlas for what he has done

Joseph George Rooney became an alcoholic and a gambler. Tyson respects him to much to talk shit about him. Don king was probably cool with Rooney being his trainer because he figured Rooney would keep him undefeated. Rooney just stopped working

Tyson still would of fallen with Rooney. You give a 20 yr old kid that much fame and fortune from the Ghetto, he will fuck it up !

You know nothing about it. Everything you just said is wrong.

Why?.......what concern is it of yours what other people do

@@stevens5541 You know there is this crazy thing called empathy which enables you to feel happy for someone else. It sounds crazy I know but it's real. Google it

@@stevens5541 You think it's strange to care about entertainers? I'm sure you have atleast 1 person who you would mourn if I chokeslammed them like the Undertaker.

@@stevens5541 Well that's kind of like asking why do fans take their sports teams so seriously, even seemingly more so those who actually get PAID to work for them. That despite when it's (unless you bet money, and/or personally know somebody who plays them) technically just a game which is strictly for entertainment purposes, that should have no actual real impact on your life, whether they win or lose? Only possible exception to this would be if the team maybe represents your school, and/or country, but even then is still the case in the end though. Fans in reality (as much as they want to believe, but surely wouldn't want to hear this) have absolutely literally NOTHING to do with their team's success when they come out on top, even if they act like they somehow actually won something along with them when they technically didn't! But with that being said, fans do it because they understandably (whether it's truly rational or not) love their teams with such a strong passion, with the players being their idols who they worship like they're some kind of family members and/or supernatural gods of sorts. They want to see them do well, and succeed as much as possible, and will happily shell out their hard earned money in order to possibly see that happen in person if they can, along with buying apparel which represents the team, and/or players, and what not. Same was the case with the hardcore Tyson fanatics who wanted him to keep the wins they were so used to him pretty much getting at will during the peak of his boxing career coming. That along with hating what happened to both that, and his livelihood, with how far down he began to fall when those days came to a sudden, unexpected end as time went on, while feeling sorry for him (whether his downfall was really mostly his fault or not) also.

@@stevens5541 Boi you are dense

He's not better than cus and angelo just stop lol

And teddy atlas ?

He have any other world champions? Manny steward, angelo dundee and Eddie futch are tops for trainers in the modern age.

Listen man he trained me to fight in the early 90s he knows his stuff and how to teach Cus's Style of boxing however that boxing style works well for certain people of fighters should I say I would not teach it tk a tall fighter for eg AJ you have to be dedicated live it like anything else drillers make killers MT was Both with incredible speed and great confidence. Kev Was THE BEST for MT is he the coach of all time No. Aswell I'm based in the UK now and teach what Kev taught me but in the UK they are very ignorant to other boxing styles there way or the high way attitude have a very talented 9 year old student 4 stone trained him Cus's style privately I took him to spar for the 1st time he stopped a kid 13 years old 3 stone heavier with more experience twice in one 3 minute round. Need I say more. The look on their faces lol but hes small for his age he's now 11 n still small but I've drilled him well let's see where that goes n he's a white kid too not that makes any difference but I'd train any kid this style thd UK kids are not taught head movement not taught about switch hitting not taught to punch with bad intentions not taught angles n to set traps I truly believe this is why ALL British fighter's do we domestically but when yhe bar Is raised in level they don't do so well Hatton - May weather Alverez v Billy Joe I could go on forever but its facts it's a there don't hate me for spitting factual Bars man .... I wany to upload this sparring footage I have but their kids man I just feel.its inappropriate.

So true

Fuck yeah! Would be the release of the year Worldwide!

Yeah cuz he was a student of cus d amato and he trained a prime mike tydon

who is Mani stewart

Don king got rid of Rooney he want a all black corner team

His skills eroded the very next fight without him. New trainers didn't knew his skill set and tried to change it.

Actually if you read John Horne's book, Don King and his handlers had approached Kevin Rooney after the Douglas defeat in 1990 to drop his lawsuit against Tyson and to become Tysons trainer again, he responded give me $10 million dollars or get the fuck out of here. Rooney had a terrible problem with drinking and gambling. But without a doubt he was the best trainer for Mike. Even Tyson knew that, he just didn't give a damn about the sport or his legacy anymore.

он думал что его черные братья лучше чем Кевин и не обманут его

Paul Jonny yeah man he looks sick, I hope he is alright

Anthony: Im not seeing your point? Obviously we all know Kevin cause he trained mike. Your jealousy of Kevin is really making you come off bitter & resentful. Don't blame & get mad @Kevin for becoming known world wide just because you failed in doing so. Try harder next time. Trying to help you out buddy..

Anthony Sefo Kevin rooney =success. Anthony sefo =failure haha ya fucking arse bandit

@@SpecialOne1808 he has been diagnosed with dementia

Ya

he suffers from boxing induced dementia these days :(

Stevie Thomas Kevin Rooney was no doubt great for Tyson back in the day. Especially after Cus died. But Teddy Atlas is far more articulate so he makes for a better guest.

Rooney isn't in such good shape. God bless him though. Mike fought those fights, but when Rooney left there was an obvious difference even against a guy he'd have starched in 30 seconds like Frank Bruno. He looked nothing like the same person but for the final combo.

Rooney isn't, never was, a media attention whore like Atlas. Very doubtful he would sit for a cock like Joe "the boy who never grew up" Rogan anyway. Rogan is an ass, if its not MMA or pot, Rogan is out of his depth, and comes across as someone with a set agenda with most guests. You should look in to where his funding comes from, you'd be very very surprised, I was.

Atlas is a salty bitch that didnt get his way with tyson so he tried to shoot him. They blame the fallout on his niece an tyson but it was because atlas wanted to be the boss. Hes still salty over tyson. Lol

Agree 🥊🥊👍👍

@@leecorcoran6174 facts don king snake shit and manipulative ways caused Tyson downfall

@Brandon Star but mike said that he team was of no use and he wasn't being trained good anymore.

@@leecorcoran6174.

@@MrBrandonStar .

It wasn't really Robin cause he fired rooney over a month after they started the divorce it was Don king and Tyson himself probably tired of the tough camps rooney put him through every other trainer he had after was afraid to keep it real with Mike and didn't know him well enough to properly train him

Am I Bear? He’d lose eventually but he’d be dominant for a longer period

50-0??? Yeah right... Tyson would have finished 100-0

@@ykd818 hey. According to Rooney lol. I don't see Tyson losing to Douglas or even Holyfield the first time (incredible fight if you think about Tyson being on coke and antidepressants, out of shape, still hurting prime Holyfield thrice over ten rounds).

@@Sxm_8 you're right. I'm saying if he had stayed with Rooney I believe likely he wouldn't have fallen off the rails so hard. One thing is for sure, I believe he'd have beaten Douglas. People are gonna cry over thatcomment, but no genuine boxing fan can look at that Douglas fight and see anything close to the same fighter as even two years previous. Say he wins that fight, he likely gets Holyfield earlier and Lewis earlier, maybe he doesn't go to prison and never really get it back. I don't know if you're an athlete. But if you are, you know how terrible it is to lose that many years in your athletic prime. As far as it goes in a different pro sport, if you take that time off you'll never be the same and probably should never fight again.

Not when there are better boxers in his era like lewis holyfield and Douglas.....even bowe was probably better

@@stevens5541 you don't get it do you?

@@mathew2378 he definitely doesn't get it.

I think LEWIS would’ve still gave prime Tyson some trouble

@@nottoxic3447 yea it would not have been easy, but have u ever wondered why holyfield and Lennox never fought him in his prime? They were ducking tyson his entire prime, until he was old, slow, broken, drugs, rape, prison, scandals, lawsuits, etc.. Tyson was down to fight anyone, all the "great" fighters that beat him when he was old, wanted nothing to do with him in his prime

I would love to see him too

Heart breaking.😔

Sadly no. Rooney has all the knowledge still yes, but it is plain from this that Rooney is still heatbroken and shattered about what happened in 1988. He wouldn't have the heart to train/manage another Mike Tyson even though he is doubly capable of it. When your heart has been severly broken you never want that to happen to you again. Ever.

Rooney is the best trainer ever after Cus.. But M.Tyson is a stupid and spoiled man... He destroyed his own career... and secondly, because of the way he treated Kevin Rooney and his old team at the end, he is just human garbage and waste, not worth mentioning... Lennox Lewis and other boxers like Hollyfield brought him down to earth... .And if anyone says that Lewis and Holly wouldn't have a chance in 80s to beat Tyson, let me remind you that back then this idiot had no really strong opponents except for one (Frank Bruno) whom he couldn't knock out and had a hard time with..Tyson is just a worthless wasteman...

@@ryandurkin2958 How dare you forget Lennox Lewis?

He is also one of the very few retainers and teachers of the peekaboo style, at least in it's direct D'Amato form. Kevin carries on Cus' legacy and any future fighter should seek his wisdom before he retires.

💯 % agree , this guys knowledge of boxing is off the chart 👍🥊🥊

You're not wrong. Along with Jacobs and Cayton, Cus entrusted Kevin to carry out his mission to make Mike a champion. From beyond the grave Mike was fulfilling Cus' legacy and IMO was his sole motivator before and after he had passed on. Mike stated on several occasions on how lonely roadwork would get, so he'd think of Cus and everything he'd shared with him, which kept him going. The greatest match up in sports history 👌🏼

You most definitely are not wrong brother. Great minds think alike, true story! There's a reason why the stars aligned the way they did. There's a reason why the alignment was destroyed. It was a lesson in greed. Get too greedy and believe your "own' hype and you'll be derailed in the most spectacular fashion, and that's what happened. This was a lesson for my generation. Some heeded the lesson and achieved greatness, some followed the same path of Tyson. Case in point was Naseem Hamed. Derailed as soon as ........ I'm not filing in the blank for you, go look it up. There are other cases but Hamed is a classic..... Mike could've been the greatest. But you need a great team behind you!!

Lol

Kevin is a stand up guy 🙏🏼

Yeah that is one iconic moment aye. I remember as it happened, here in new zealand, we were rapt to see Tyson get his title, and that look from Kevin at the end, we were all standing up anyway, we saw that, and just roared with laughter and understanding.

@@owencampbell8799 Thank you for correcting me. 37-0 it is. My mistake his books must have a typo

Rooney was Cus' successor in every sense of the word. Even when Mike first arrived, Cus knew he didn't have long left and probably groomed Kevin the best he could to take his place when he inevitably passed on. All the while educating and schooling Mike in the psychological aspects of boxing and life in general 👌🏼
