He should have got Roach earlier after prison instead of those street thug trainers he had.

Not saying he would have beat Holyfield or not get demolished by Lewis, but he certainly would have looked more impressive and had a better chance. If healthy, Maybe even become a 3 time champion by beating some crappy HW (not klits, Lewis, holyfield, etc.)

for an old boxer, he looked pretty good against Clifford and Williams.

Roach didn't come into prominence as a trainer until years after Tyson's release from Prison.

oh. Makes sense.

I saw instant improvement in Tyson under Roach compared to his fights against Golota, Lewis, etc. He actually had the peek-a-boo movement with Roach.
