They are forever intertwined. "When my fighter is in that ring, I'm also in that ring too." -Cus. He instilled 60 years of boxing knowledge into his ultimate physical specimen. People often say they are waiting for the next Mike Tyson. You can't have the next Mike without having a man like Cus, who imo was the best mind in boxing the sport ever produced. The style is not only entertaining, it's also beautiful to watch. It's not even an old school style to me. Cus took the technical side of boxing and improved it. It's actually an upgraded way to fight. "How dare they challenge me with their somewhat primitive skills, they're just as good as dead." - Mike Tyson.
Eternity passed when we talk about mike? XD you think in next 2 thousand years people will keep talking about him? Or in 5 thousand time? Youre dellusional. And to talk about eternity? 😆
It’s an amazing situation. For Cus to be able to find someone that might not have had the dream or vision starting off but to have been able to instill this vision and the discipline into Mike and then drive him forward without him derailing. It’s pretty heartbreaking that Cus did end up leaving right before seeing Mike reach the finish line and Mike will always have that unfillable hole in that he never got the one person he wanted to see at the finish line to celebrate with him be there
Mike Tyson prime never fought any greats just journey men. It was later on in his career when he fought greats like Holyfield and Lewis. They had managed themselves alot smarter.
@@robertgreen9717 Cus was far away from him at that time. How long your mentor teachings can last if he is no more with you to reinforce them daily? He stayed on his track pretty long. But other bad characters took the place of Cus in Mike's life. They were the "distractions" Cus was always talking about.
im 39 years old. watching this I just joined a boxing gym the technique and footwork a boxer must have is beautiful. im getting to work on a craft I admire from my couch to actually doing it
14:40 Cus died before seeing Mike become the world champion but his statement was "watch him become a success." In his eyes he probably already saw Mike as the world champion
I met Mike Tyson 20 YEARS AGO at Lenox Mall and that Man had a STRONG handshake. I could feel the vibration through my hand and I hope that God doesn't take him anytime soon cuz I would be really SAD and He is the greatest boxer of all times in my opinion.
Cus was just an old school Italian boxing trainer. I love his accent. He sounds like my grandpa. My gramps saw the early Mike Tyson fights and he was a huge fan. He saw all the greats over the years but he knew Mike was special from the beginning.
One of the greatest stories of boxing, of sport, of modern culture, of determination, of believing in someone,, of belief in self, of triumph and tragedy, of father & son, , of mentor and protegë, of teamwork, or simply, the unique and unlikely story of Cus D'Amato and Mike Tyson.
Редкое явление, когда такой самородок как Тайсон попадает в такие руки Касса Дамато, и судьба ведет их вместе по одному пути, велечайшего тренера всех времен, и велечайшего боксера всех времен, так и проявляються легендарные эпохи, лучших из лучших вне сомнений...
I think he trained Mike Tyson perfectly when he trained him all those years. Cus made Mike Tyson's movement perfect. Mike Tyson would always move his body move his head somebody would miss Mike Tyson with counter and knock everybody out in the early years he was a master at that. His trainer made Mike Tyson unleash his rage in that ring
Mike is gonna be my revenge on the world. He did just that. Mike became a weapon that would not stop firing after his death. But now he's an old philosopher and scholar just like his mentor. Funny how life turns out huh?
It's fascinating to me how calm, collected, and coherent Mike was during interviews as a kid; compared to his interviews late in his career. He always had the right answers and was able to form those answers in a coherent manner with genius level boxing IQ. It's crazy to me how much Cus trained him psychologically but when he died all of that knowledge seemed to die with him. Cus is one of those people you wish was alive just to hear his thoughts. It wouldn't even have to pertain to boxing at all. He just seems to me, to be a one person think tank.
Cus with that look like here is the fighter that could have beat Ali. Cus found a fighter who had the speed , power and head movement that would have given Ali a world of trouble. The combinations of Tyson were so fast and powerful. In his prime is was only a matter of being off your game for a split second to get KO by the monster!
This team were unstoppable!!! Too bad Cus died and Don King got his greedy little claws into Tyson. The Mafia finally got Mike, without Mike even realizing what was happening.... Cus must have rolled in his grave.. Gr8 doc, amazing footage, God Bless. Also thank you 🙏
Легендарное видео, очень сильное, вдохнавляющие, мотивирующие, познавательное, трогательное. Очень помогает, прошлое видео про 15-и летнего Тайсона я пересмотрел раз 6. Надеюсь, что я тоже в ближайшие 5 лет стану чемпионом мира, нужно многим пожертвовать. Спасибо
One might think Cus never witnessed the full potential of the boxing prodigy Mike would become under his wing, but...Iron Mike carried on his legacy for the whole world to witness!!! He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest, smartest and most ferocious heavyweight boxing champion in the world. 58-50 and 44 knockouts among the most brutal in boxing history.
Cus didn't just want Tyson to be a successful fighter, he wanted him to be a successful human being. What happened to Tyson afterward, when the parasites took hold, reminds me of a saying, "A great sculptor can take 10 years to chisel a masterpiece, while a fool with a hammer can take 10 seconds to destroy it."
Cus helped Mike tremendously but when Bobby Stewart told him to straighten up he did Tyson had it in him that's why it worked thank God for Cus D'Amato and the rest is history Mike Tyson greatest fighter ever lived period
Imagine if Cus had been 30 years younger and could have stayed with Tyson for his whole career. I believe Tyson would have been remembered as the greatest ever then
If he had been 30 years younger, he wouldn't have been able to give Tyson all of what he gave him. He gave exactly what Tyson needed during the time he was alive.
When you have someone you respect and love believe in you you can do great things especially when so many others what seems like the world is betting against you makes it that much better. Love goes out to all the fighters whatever your fight may be. Great video. 👍
I know Jamie Fox has a Tyson movie coming out which I’m sure will be great but they could make a whole movie of just young Mike, starting with a younger Cus and moving forward to this time! Amazing !!
Watching cus hold back his smile gets his eyes glassy from blissful feelings of our turn...our turn...to gv what money can't buy will allow u to live forever... especially with our selling his soul...pure bliss
He was way ahead of his time that’s why he will always be remembered and he could’ve beat Buster Douglas and Lennox Lewis! Only if he would’ve stayed focused like DMato said no DISTRACTIONS NO DISTRACTIONS NO DISTRACTIONS.!! And this is a lesson we should all learn to become successful!
Tyson will be remembered forever, the benchmark for sheer single mindedness, dedication and ferocity in boxing. Growing up watching all of his fights he was unstoppable. What a legend
I go by the greatest I've ever seen in the ring. Some people's criteria are title defenses, which is one of the reasons Joe Louis is often ranked #1. My criteria are how far the fighter reached the pinnacle of skill. For a brief moment in time 85'-88', I have never seen another fighter on the level that Tyson reached. You combine the greatest mind in boxing instructing his perfect physical specimen mentally and physically, it's no wonder Mike was such a devastating fighter. He not only had the physical gifts to get by on, he soaked up the mental gifts Cus gifted him to become one of the greatest or possibly the greatest we've ever seen. Tyson is like a cheat character in a video game. Power - 10 Speed - 10 Elusiveness - 10 I believe the more time that passes, the more revered he's going to be. In 100 years, I think most people will look back and unanimously consider Mike the greatest ever.
I believe that Stallone was inspired by Cus and Tyson as well because Mickey, from the Rocky movies, said almost word for word to Rocky what Cus said about Mike being the reason he fought to stay alive.
I actually think the Cus/Tyson story is better than anything Hollywood could ever come up with. Thank God we have such extensive footage. About the Rocky thing, it seems like some of it would have been inspired, but the first Rocky movie was in 76', the second in 79', Rocky III in 82'(Mick dies) and Rocky IV was 85'. The early Rocky movies were all pretty much before Tyson got with Cus, at least the first two were.
Rocky was realized in 1976, Mike AND cus history appers several years later. However in rocky5, when Rocky remember Micky talk about the fear AND the reason of love, un fact this chapter was obtained fron cus
@@BigBoss-zi5ss yep and Chuck got lucky punch that knocked down Ali once I believe? The part when Rocky caught Apollo early in their first fight is the reference if so? Sorry, memory ain't what its use to be! Lol
Nobody outworked the Mike under Cus. Cus left him a wonderfully team but Don King came in and crashed it all. Mike was a wild kid who needed discipline but all King saw was $ sign and let Mike be Mike, the wild child. I think it was inevitable Mike could have gone under the same path sooner or later. any moment Cus died would have been the beginning of a rough road for Mike. And Cus was not going to live forever.
Cus found a way to survive for eternity, he discovered Mike Tyson and we're still talking about him today.
They are forever intertwined. "When my fighter is in that ring, I'm also in that ring too." -Cus. He instilled 60 years of boxing knowledge into his ultimate physical specimen. People often say they are waiting for the next Mike Tyson. You can't have the next Mike without having a man like Cus, who imo was the best mind in boxing the sport ever produced.

Great video, lots of great content
As mike said when he won the first belt Cus would be up there looking down saying his boy did it.
Similar to naruto and jiraiya
incredible coach, not a single fighter can compare to mike tyson prime

14:20 think how much that motivated tyson!! I didnt realize that Stallone put that quote in Rocky.
At his peak Mike was the most driven dedicated fighting machine that ever lived.
100% true
How do you know? We know barely anything before what's happened in the last 100 years. Who do you think Achilles was, or Cuchulain, or Attila the Hun?
@@jimnewcombe7584 Hi Jim. I'm referring to within a boxing context.
@@jamesgilgannon4164 my respect to you for answering this moron.
@@jimnewcombe7584 i seriously doubt any human pre-1800’s is beating prime mike tyson in hand to hand combat
Mike Tyson is the king of the game, the best boxer in history
I agree.
you don't know ish about boxing😂
@@irishscience580 yup. You don’t.
Cus D'amato was a real man that you could look up to, something we all need in our formative years.
I’d definitely say he made Cus proud. The man mike is today is amazing.
We will never see a boxer like Mike. Everything he did was exciting.
We need more men like Cus these days to make men real men. Great mentor we need them more Then ever
our society is too far gone. when drag queens strip dance in front of children in texas, you know its too late 😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
100%
Sadly the generation of those teachers is retiring. X has much fewer, and millineals? Unicorns
We need more men to raise their boys. 80% of black children in America don’t know their daddy and it’s a god damned shame.
14:40 Cus died before seeing Mike become the world champion but his statement was "watch him become a success." In his eyes he probably already saw Mike as the world champion
"If he remains dedicated, interested, and without any distractions."
I've known of Cus for many years. But today is the first time I've heard him speak. Thank you.
Loved this Video!!
Cus D'amato was Mike's Tysons Heart
One of the best video’s i have watched from tyson and cus. And believe me I watched a lot. Props to u!
Cus transformed Mike by teaching him everything about boxing, and that made him the world champion in just four or five years
That speed is unfuckin believable
Those moves and power of Mike😲
Thank you for the wonderful video sir 🙏
I met Mike Tyson 20 YEARS AGO at Lenox Mall and that Man had a STRONG handshake. I could feel the vibration through my hand and I hope that God doesn't take him anytime soon cuz I would be really SAD and He is the greatest boxer of all times in my opinion.

Cus did see a beast inside Mike so he tamed it and gave the perfect guidance to make him one of the Greatest Boxing Champ in the history.
The viciousness of Mike's fighting is unmatched.
That's a huge fact. He is the scariest man that ever lived from my perspective
I hope that video stays forever with us in youtube…..
Thx
This old man teaching us how to do a nice things for humanity

Grande uomo Cus 💪🙏 big Mike 👏👏😎
*I wonder whether Cus D'amato ever doubted or hesitated about anything🤔His level of determination is just unbelievable*
The relationship between a master and the student transcends everything and is incomparible to anything else, and so it was between Cus and Mike.
