after watching that Tyson DVD that i bought its pretty obvious that Tyson and King collectively destroyed Iron Mike. Don King got involved, Mike fired all of his old trainers and cornermen, Mike moved out of the Catskills and began spending time in situations that he was unable to control himself in. Mike was too stupid to realize this and King was too greedy and twisted to do anything about it. Tyson got as far as he did because the guys in upstate New York did all the could to keep Tyson busy with boxing, its the reason Tyson was fighting so often, it was like once every six weeks at one point. basically Tyson was kept in a cage that he needed to be in if he was going to be successful as a boxer. King let him loose and the rest is history.
