If Cus had lived 10 years longer I think Mike Tyson would have probably retired unbeaten.

@@yankee2666 then dont read it and move on it aint that deep bro
@@TheA-trainofficials.1318 Best comment ever
Bowe, Lewis or Foreman would have beaten him
@@FirstLast-vl1uy Tyson smashes them all in 60 seconds
You can see Mike hanging on to every word Cus was saying.He really listened and believed what Cus said.
That is an excellent example of full attention of listening and observing. Mike gained such wisdom from Cus and he applied it all. They really brought out the best in each!
But he made the mistake of getting rid of the team Cus left for him , Rooney and Cayton . And picked Don King and his team . That was Mike's downfall
The way Mike has grown and shaped himself into an outstanding member of society is testament of Cus’s raising. Men like him are what make great men today
Cus would have been brought down somehow by the woke community. No old white men are allowed such respect in their book, sadly.
@@BonsaiBurneryea no
@@BonsaiBurnerit’s so hard to be white boo hoo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥲😭😭😭🥲😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
We need more men like Cus in this world
Because he’s using A.I to mimic his real voice. A.I can’t pronounce certain words.
@@BangiBoxingBuzzok
I will always believe Mike Tyson’s life and career would have turned out far differently had Cus not died when he did.
Mike's tysons life is what it is today simply because of Cus D mato. Yes it would of turned out differently if he lived just a little bit longer, but he lived Long enough to make sure Mike no longer needed him to live his life on his own.
He was the determining factor in Mike's life and Mike's direction in life
Would we ever have heard of Mike if not for Cus ?
@@shawntailor5485 Mike Tyson said it himself that if it wasn't for Cusdmato nobody would have ever knew of Mike Tyson. the only ones who would know of him would be the ones he grew up with and the ones that he criminally preyed on.
Having great parents is everything in life!!!
I gues :(
I cannot contain my tears when I just see the meanest baddest man that ever walked this earth cry... You did so much more than just knock ppl out, you changed the world Mike, your story touched and inspired so many of us to keep going. You'll never know..
DITTO
😂🤡
There was Olympic level wrestlers submission wrestlers.. judokas that could box. Combat sambo fighters from Russia basically fighting mma rules striking and elite level wrestling and submissions leg lock master's.. in the 90s before mma was a big thing .. Russia guys out there that put tyson on his back in seconds and could snap limbs choke him unconscious.. rip his knees apart mike tyson was great boxer but throw him in a cage no rules one man leaves other 🤷🏻 fight to the death . There was elite level submission wrestlers that have tyson finished in under a minute boxing is boxing in a fight no referee There to say break keep it clean ect .. he's going to put you on your back in seconds and if he's nice choke you unconscious
Evander Holyfield is the badest man he proved it two times
@@Nextdoorneighbor625😂😂😂
Cus is a legend who made Mike into a legend, the respect I have for these two men. grew up watching Mike we are pretty close in age .R.i.p Cus the best trainer there ever was.
Emanuel Steward I'd say was a better trainer. Cus was good at dealing with the psychology of fighting and how to deal with fear. Giving confidence to young men who had none.
@@jandro8370this is one of the craziest things I’ve heard about boxing. No one lives up to Cus
@@brianjackson2676 Great reads: Tyson Undisputed & Iron Ambition. The second is a 1/2 biography of Cus 1/2 Tyson. Cus was a psychological genius.
✊️ Cus D ' Amato turned aggressive behaviour from individuals who were either gonna kill or be killed or end up in prison into the Art of Boxing.
the greatest this is what I call a man's man ✊️

Discipline is the way ,in anything you want in life
Absolutly.
THE ONLY WAY
He saved Tyson’s life
Mike has always been a caring and sensitive man, from early on, you always see him hurrying to make sure his opponent was not badly hurt. It is the marketing that portrayed him as a savage uncaring beast. As a matter of fact, he always visited his opponent in the locker room after the fight. Cheers on a special human being.
Mike was also the guy who once said “if he ain’t dead it doesn’t count” referring to the opponent he’d just knocked out and made fun of a fighters groans saying “he was making female gestures in there”. Mike did and does have a good heart but he’s a complicated guy and was never a nice guy.
@@therealc.t.7085 Don't look at the world as black or white. This kind of rhetoric was part of Tyson's psychological strategy to intimidate his opponents and assert his dominance. Tyson often used such provocative statements to emphasize his ruthlessness and to project an image of invincibility, both to his opponents and to the public.
He took that off the old greats on film.
Only once Don King got ahold of him. In his early years he was always presented fairly accurately as tremendously polite, somewhat shy, and incredibly well schooled in the history and technique of boxing.
If Cus had lived 10 years longer Tyson would have retired with a record of 100 victories, 95 by KO. Zero losses or draws.
Without any doubt my friend
NO
he would have retired at 50- 0 at the age of 28 and had a nice wife and kids in Catskill and would be nowhere near the legend and icon he is now
Well said and that could of happened but then that scam artist Don King stepped in and turned Tyson away from the good trainers he had. I noticed he was less invincible and less head movement when Don King got Kevin Rooney out of there. If Tyson would of stuck with the old crew, He would of beat Rocky Marciano's 49 and 0 record easily,
That's all speculation there's no fact to back it chill tf out.
@@SwansonDoggz Not speculation at all, its FACT!
Tyson's record would have been 100 fights, 100 KO's
So get your FACTS straight!
When Cus died and Mike Tyson got involved with Super-Shyster Don King is when it all started to unravel.
Began before that. He had false friends like Rory Holloway who regularly misled Mike and dragged him into the worst situations possible always bringing Mike back down to the streets he wanted to avoid. He helped Don King convince Mike to fire Bill Cayton, and others who were all honest big hearted men who loved Cus and Mike. Don King and Rory Holloway said you don't want to trust those white devils. Mike trusted them and forever altered his path. Happy to see Mike on top again.
Yeah man, that & women.
And firing Kevin Rooney. His defense especially his famous head speed left with Rooney.
Pretty much nail that their everything was started to go sideways..once he lost his wife.. not saying she was a good wife.. but it really mentally warped him narcissist will do that to a person. Cuss was gone.. Robin was gone.... You feel like you don't connect with anybody
@@wasupmaindon king made him fire Rooney, Rooney was the one keeping on the right path. Don king knew that Tyson would listen to Rooney over him. Its such a shame that Tyson got involved with him
He died before I got a chance to meet him. He was special to our family
Your pretty special in your own right Mr. ! All due respect to you and all seekers and teachers of the Sweet Science.
The relationship between Cu D'amato and Mike Tyson was out of this world and very rare in the Western world. He was to Mike what Yoda was to Luke Skywalker. It can be found in India between enlightened masters and their devotees.
Tyson proved to be an excellent student even though he seemed to forget the lessons once in a while.
They were meant for each other. Cus would be happy to see the man Mike has become today. Mike is a national treasure. An American story...and American journey.
The good Lord, Cus's interviews and 1980s mike got me thru a bad time in my life but it made me walk into a boxing gym and i thank God all the time for boxing
The old man and the kid was a story that really sold Tyson to the American people. Even today thats a legendary story every aspiring boxer wishes would happen to them.
I love Mike man, the honesty and realness is 💯
"...you were a specimen." What an offensive thing to say when speaking to Tyson about Cus,, who considered themselves family.
He didn't mean it like that...He meant it as in he was a genetic powerhouse.
I dont think you understand
@@grahamhill676 Yep.
I don't know what you think that means but it's hardly horrible. Being called a specimen in boxing is a huge compliment! It means you're exceptional, a one-of-a-kind talent, one who cannot be replicated or replaced. Is everyone in these younger generations hypersensitive these days? Even compliments are misconstrued into something offensive by these people. Calm down, crybabies.
@@RW-rt5nd The context it is used in is demeaning to Tyson and Cus' relationship, which was emotional as well as professional. In fact, to call a man a "specimen" in any situation is dehumanizing when "unique", "incredible", "extraordinary" and, as you mentioned "exceptional" would have conveyed the compliment in a more civil manner. YOU are the younger generation in this conversation. I hope you learned something.
Mike Tyson is much more intelligent than most people gave him credit. He appreciates and loves Cus like most people love their fathers too! It’s nice to see Mike succeeding in life more than the 18-20 year old Mike Tyson could too! If anyone deserves comfort it’s Mike Tyson! ❤️💯 I grew up glued to the TV on his fight nights
Tyson became wise and that differs from intelligence.
@@C_R_O_M________ , I’d respectfully disagree. He is wiser with age but I’ve heard some very intelligent things come from the mouth of Mike..
Tyson will always be his favorite💯 I know Tyson been through his hardship in his life💯 but I know his mentor is always watching over him💯🙏🏼
HOW COOL was the interaction with Ali?!??...i could watch those two talk for as long as they wanted to talk. hours? days? lol
Watching this alone without my father here is painful. We bonded over boxing.
This video just brings back good memories.
Most open and honest Tyson I've ever seen
What you calling him Cuse for 😂😂😂
Please go back and fix your video. It is Cus not Cuz.
And Cus deserves the respect of having you pronounce his name correctly.
Thank you.
I think narrators voice is AI generated
What great men do. They make other men great. True hearts of gold. I love learning about Cus D'amato and Tyson. No doubt they will be spending a lot more time together later in a much better place surrounded by loved ones.
We need more cus
The best thing ever was him given it back to Ali. The standing up and talking back. Not something that people did to Ali.
Think about fighting Ali with a bad back. And then think about how none of this was factored in when people talk about how Ali beat Patterson. There’s always a backstory that people don’t talk about and the masses never knew.

To bad people aren't accepting and loving as Cus. Rest in Peace O.G.🎉❤
He was only accepting and loving if u believed as he did and didn't question him. He was a stubborn old man in reality and he needed help to actual train fighters. Didn't do it all on his own. Rooney was a big part too.
This was a great man. I don't look at him as a trainer or manager. He simply did what he set out in his life to do. He did it with honor and compassion.
Cus and Mike live inside their own hearts as well as their minds. This is rare, the magnitude of space inside their hearts and minds terrify the common man. They courageously confronted the terror with a religious ease and passion. Nothing but respect for both ❤
I think with the right teacher and guidance all of us could achieve being "the one"....
Mike was a genetic powerhouse. Are you?
Cus' D' Amato you did a fantastic job on young Mike love all you did for the sport and all the great names you brought into the sport mike loved being part of your family the family made Tyson the man he is today god bless
Cus👊my hero
True boxing professor . R.I.P: Cus 🙏🙏
On this day July 4th. i reflect of the Fathers before i Existed. I remember their leadership and sheer determination to become the Men that we all aspire to be. History is relevant to reflect on and Grow from. Learning from Men of high character teaches us that We as men need to hold ourselves Accountable for our actions. To teach the Next generation of men to be More than they think they can become. I Reflect on Our History. 🌹 🕊️ Rest in eternal peace Cus Damato, Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali. A path of Resilience & Self determination is a virtue which every youth should cherish
The late great cus the man who made Mike Tyson champions
The way he held of Ali says it all
God bless this man....sounds like a father to all these men
Is it just me but I could listen to cus talk about fear and boxing all day long
I love cus and Ali playing
Dynasty . Mike and Cus had to be together.
Mike has grown into the man Gus would be so proud of. Congratulations mike
Ahhh good Ol Cues
Cus was Real Tiger ! An Avatar in the Boxing 🥊 Realm.
Love this man way of thinking.
God bless 🙏 his soul.
He not only training people, but he Made a champ, he Made a method, and dedicated him self on it. 🙏
It was so entertaining seeing someone with just as, if not sharper a tongue than Ali verbally spar with him. That was the best part!!!
They don’t build guys like cus anymore
Cus was only Floyd's manager, never a trainer. It was a man named by Frank Lavelle who trained him. Frank was the only man who trained/taught about boxing. Frank was a good fighter himself and he believed in bobbin and weaving. That became the basic of Floyd's fighting style. Frank used to make Floyd touch him own ear tabs by his thumbs to make sure his hands were always in place to protect his head from punches he couldn't slip. It looked like he was playing peekaboo. It was the birth of his famous peekaboo style. Cus had nothing to do with it. Cus was inspired by Maxie Rosenbloom's style and stuff were all made up BS to make up a storty. Cus doubble crossed Frank since they never had any contract wrirten and fired him. Floyd self thought himself and trained himself ever since. Floyd fired Cus the same way Cus fired Frank. The person who gave Floyd confidence and taught him to believe in himself was a teacher at his reform school at Wiltwyck NY. Her name was Miss Vivian something. Floyd was not the youngest child of 11. He had 2 older brothers before him and I think he had 2 older sisters, but that makes him 5th child of 12. 12 siblings, not 11. You need to research much carefully than this. You check out Floyd's early fighting films and you see Floyd's hands weren't very high. It came higher and higher a little by a little as years went by. The Peekaboo was the result of the many years of Floyd's own experience in the ring and the very hard work between Floyd and Frank. I was with Floyd for 25 years and I was taught and trained by him. No one knows him like I do.
This isn’t exactly true , Lavelle taught Patterson a lot of mistakes and this was in his amateur days , it was Cus who hired Dan Florio for the end of his amateur fights and both Cus and Florio got rid of his bad habits . Dan Florio was his trainer and Cus who made sure things were to his liking . Floyd didn’t have a bo ing style at 14 that’s when Lavelle was mostly involved .
Wish that announcer knew how to pronounce Cus's name, prolly another example of AI doing narration! It's supposed to sound like ""Gus!" not "goose!" Even the other interviewers got it right, but our vlog announcer still mis-pronounces!
How do you know that did you know Floyd personally are you a boxer
You’re not entirely wrong but Cus did in fact play a significant part in developing and refining pieces of Floyd’s style.
@@therealc.t.7085 Cus never did train Floyd. He was not capable of. He had zero experience of his own inside the boxing ring and knew very little about what goes on in there. These are exact words of Floyd's.
R.I.P CUS D'AMATO IF THIS MAN WAS ALIVE RIGHT NOW HE'D HAVE A STABLE OF CHAMPIONS UNDER HIS WING HE WAS ALL ABOUT HIS FIGHTERS BEING SMART IN AND OUT THE BOXING RING HE WAS A GREAT TRAINER .
Mike is a big inspiration to me.
I was born in 86' and kids in my elementary talked about how Mike Tyson got hypnotized into a bull every fight.. that was our reason he came out so explosive and deadly!!! Little did we know it was all Cus D'amato..
It was fighting trash cans lol
Awesome video, an amazing testament to both of THEM and the relationship they have/had. Dont mean to be disrispectful or anything like that but in my opinion its insanely important Mikes last words in the video, he says "it takes more than that to be a fighter" not "things wouldnt to be a fight" dont even what that means tbh. thank you absolute like
"Mike asked if I could be his mother, I said yes Mike." These are the saddest words and the most inspiring words I've ever heard because growing all I had was my mother. My father stayed far from home and came home fortnightly. He died after I turned 7. My mother was all we had(9 children from the same mother and father), no father and no money. At least I never had to look for a mother. God bless the woman who yes yes Mike I will be your mother❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢.
Why are you calling him Quze when his name is Cus?? You can clearly hear everyone else call him Cus...
You ever heard of AI?
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 oh so the channel owner is just lazy?
@@videogames I’d say so
How do you make an entire video about a guy and never pronounce his name correctly once, cuz like bus not cuisse
Shut up.
This video sounds like it was written, and possibly read, by AI
Welcome to the world if AI and lazy filmmakers.
@@benjames5423 Yep; and the paste of text reading is a bit too fast to comprehend or keep up with. Stupid, missed chance.
Floyd Patterson's finest moment in his boxing career was when he knocked out ingomar Johansson and became the first fighter to win back the heavyweight crown. Jack Dempsey & Gene Tunney had publicly said he would not win and didn't even deserve a rematch. Cus D. Amato told Patterson that he couldn't beat Liston.
Some of liston's opponents, just like Tyson's opponents years later -were defeated psychologically before they ever entered the ring.
Cus is 100% right about the psychological importance.
You need to have your mind right.
No Patterson's finest moment, was what he is remembered for, being the first boxer to make a million dollar purse, and the first boxer to make a million dollar pure in multiple fights. Patterson in the late 50s and early 60s was the money man in boxing, and everybody wanted to fight him, because you made more money fighting him. That was the mark he made on boxing, getting huge guaranteed purses.
Can’t watch if you gonna pronounce this AMAZING man’s first name as “Cuse” the whole fuckin movie. I just can’t do it - SERIOUSLY 😂😂😂
Great video
Cus learned the peek-a-boo style from Jack Dempsey. Cus taught it and perfected it. Obviously.Patterson and Iron Mike being his best students. Cus was a ingenious and marvelous man.
You can see how hard it still is for him. I don’t think he will ever get over his death properly. It will always cause a pain in his heart when Cus is mentioned
“Coos” isn’t his name. It’s Cus. Like the first syllable in custody or custodian.
Great video, thanks! A small detail at 1:09 - that is a portrait of the Swedish boxer Ingmar “Ingo” Johansson (that fought Floyd Paterssson in 1959 + 1960) if I’m not mistaken.
17:50 he wasn’t letting peter mcneeley get away with that headbutt
One of the great boxing coaches of his era. Love this man he used common sense to be one of the great trainers.RIP
Great man rip cus
When you look at old boxing film opposed to newer ones, you notice there is much less movement back then. They were rock em sock em. One dimensional, but undeniable courage. Fighting 20, 30 times a year. We'll never see that again
i am not going to watch this because it might depress me. Mike Tyson and Cus D'Amato are soooo important. black white father son. and Mike has gone on to make Cus proud - as a son. god bless Mike who does not see color - he just calls out a-holes without discrimination.
Imagine making a documentary about a guy and getting his name wrong the entire time
Respect cuz's wife 2... Old school example behind every strong man stands a strong woman
Cus D'Amato gonna live 4 ever
He cared
It’s CUS!!! Not coose
I couldn't finish the video because the way he was saying it got right under my skin
Thank you! People disrespecting boxing history and prophets of the sport by mispronouncing his name
Cus and Freddie two legends.
Mike,Cus and Camille were family! I love the all! Old School Italian boxing trainers are the best.
Really happy with the video! I knew about Mike Tyson and all there was too, I also knew he was a professional boxer but I have no idea he trained Floyd Patterson, he is literally the Godfather of boxing, and at a time when there was still segregation in America, what an amazing man
Thank you Mr D'Amato rest in peace God bless you
How Lucky for mike to have known cus d'amato
Mike Tyson is and will always be Boxing's biggest star ⭐. The first thing that people think when you mention Boxing 🥊? Yeah, Mike Tyson is Boxing 🥊.
Wow...Cus estaba con demasiado dolor.... se le ve en su cara....¿por qué tuvo que sufrir tanto al final de su vida?....seguramente cometió demasiados pecados siendo un niño en el planeta tierra.
Mike is the best prime ever.
They need to do a movie about Cus' life
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Never ever underestimate anything
Cuz was a legend, legend coach.
Thanks!
no wonder Cus got along so well w/ ALI. they had the same birthday, 1/17.
There's sure alot of psychology majors in the comments! My take on it is that Cus took a young raw talent and made him a world champion by strict training and adopting him as a son,and teaching him values he otherwise never would of had the chance to excell.
Cus was the greatest. To see the Iron man Mike Tyson cry over losing him is heart rending. Mike Tyson was one of the meanest fighters ever and i couldn't stand the way he acted, but i do have a little more respect for him after seeing this. Thank you!
The video didn't mention Jose Torres.
REST IN PEACE MUHAMMAD ALI AND CUS DIAMATO THANK YOU CUS AND THANK YOU GOD FOR BRINGING MIKE TYSON TO CUS AND GIVING US ONE OF THE GREATEST WARRIORS WE WILL EVER SEE.
How can you narrate a documentary about a person when you can’t even pronounce that person’s name correctly?
Mike got all the skills he needed from cus...as well as the best excuse I swear I almost thought cus was gonna say Patterson lost cause he broke is back...SPINAL!😂😂
Cus was special and Mike is
doing well!
Had he lived even just 10 more years or even after mike became champ to give him direction, Tyson would have been undefeated, and avoided every other hardship he dealt with
A fortunate old man talking, who later died, isn't heartbreaking.
'Cus', not 'Coos'.
Don King making him fire Kevin Rooney was a major factor to him losing. His defense left with Rooney.
