His trainers didn't leave, he fired them all after Cus died.
When Cus died it all went downhill, his final shining moment was the spinks fight. After which he fired his trainer Kevin Rooney, who still is the only man who could ever handle tyson as a trainer. Rooney knew tyson since he was a kid when Cus adopted him.
Tyson had greatness in his hands, he coulda been in the top 5 or even 3 of all times. Now he is basically in the realm of Sonny Liston, he is Liston almost to a T. Liston was tysons size, Liston also served time. Liston made his career off beating a smaller man who wasn't a true heavyweight in Floyd Patterson, as did Tyson against Michael Spinks. While Spinks and Patterson are legends, they were smallish heavyweights.
Liston also seemed indestructable, with a punch not seem since the days of Dempsy. Listin used to rip the stitching off the punching bag when he hit it and tear it apart.
Liston then lost to a champion comparable to Holyfield (atleast inside the ring) when Liston was TKO'ed by Cassius Clay (Muhammed Ali). Then in the rematch Liston was beaten even worse by Ali, just like Tyson was in the Holyfield rematch.
Liston never had the charisma of a tyson but he had his aura. Liston died mysteriously some belive he commited suicide, others say he was killed by the mob. Listons body lay dead in his bedroom for a whole week before it was found.
Tysons story isn't one with a happy ending.
