"Would have" sounds alot like "What ifs". The irony
I already explained the reasoning (which was Rock Newman's)
Lewis was a Brit/Canadian who average fans did not care about. He was not a big draw.

You may not like or respect the calculations, but they don't change the fact that Bowe was a better, more polished fighter in 92-93.
Bowe deteriorated quickly due to the fact that he didn't take care of himself. If Lewis and Bowe met in 95-96, I would have favored Lewish. But Bowe would have won in 92-93.
By the way (and I apologize for the Bowe-Lewis digression), even though Bowe declined rapidly because he was a fat ass with no discipline, he had a decent chin and the heart of a lion. He never got knocked the fukk out by one punch (like Lewis did). Even when Bowe was fat and/or brain damaged fighting against Andrew Golota and enduring sustained beat downs, Golota could not knock him out.
I was just watching all of his fights in order, there’s a playlist on YouTube with the full broadcasts and it’s abundantly clear that her presence begins his descent and fall from grace
She immediately shifted his focus, had him wrapped around her finger and she exercised that publicly and she drove a wedge between him and management, with her family reviewing his contracts
Don King seems to get more blame for this but she was definitively poison, like she exuded it in the way she carried herself. I wonder how things panned out for her
Tyson would of washed Holyfield
“Tyson said he fired Rooney after the trainer's comments about Tyson's former wife, ROBIN GIVENS, during a television interview. ''I thought that was betrayal,'' Tyson said during his five hours on the stand in Federal court in Albany.”
It’s hilarious that the court was asking him about this

The entire trial was nuts!“Tyson said he fired Rooney after the trainer's comments about Tyson's former wife, ROBIN GIVENS, during a television interview. ''I thought that was betrayal,'' Tyson said during his five hours on the stand in Federal court in Albany.”

Watch this from the 38 minute mark I got it time stamped . This was like WWF .... who was his manager there? The way he was yelling at the reporter was like a comedy sketch, you can't make this shyt up
this is craaaaaaaazy
The commentators are trying to figure out what they saw and they're rationalizing it. He gets interviewed and he drops the legendary "I gotta go home to my kids, I look like a monster"

The manager guy: "No, hold on ... we don't know what Mills did. Don't put nothin on Mills!"
Every bit is like a comedy sketch
The second half of his career ranges from disgraceful to “Floor Jordan” status
He was never the same after prison and a majority of his fights were against handpicked opponents
If I could go back in time I’d urge him to retire after Michael Spinks, practice living with the money
But come back in 5 years for one more big pay day when he had something to prove against whoever emerged after him
keep Kevin Rooney, lose Givens

I think it is obvious from what we have learned about Tyson that he was always going to implode, regardless of who was around him. If it wasn't Robin Givens, some other broad would have had a similar impact. Similar things apply to Don King and the long list of other people who had a detrimental impact on Tyson's life and career.
