sometimes i feel that matches mike more than cus mike died when cus died but came back because of what cus taught him about never quitting mike is a real phoenix
As strong and ferocious as MIke was, he was like a humble little child in the presence of Cus DAmato, understanding that with age is wisdom, never be so arrogant as to ignore "learning" you will cheat yourself out of a lifetime of experience. With age, you become wiser & begin to comprehend what Cus was trying to explain to him in his younger years, even after all this time has passed, Mike tears up when reminiscing about his father figure.
Something the younger generations have lost. A wise old man once told me “I have forgotten more than you know”. Take that how you want, but to me that shit run deep. Made me realise to respect an older persons view of something. Everything you know now may be a useless load of bollocks by the time your 40 and actually think like an adult.

Cus was unbelievable. The impact he had on Mike, one of the absolute grestest, says all that needs to be said. Tyson cant even speak about Cus to this day without breaking down. Cus gave us Iron Mike, theres no Mike Tyson as he is today without Cus. Its profound when you hear Cus say the same about Mike. Hear him say Mike kept him alive. Their relationship was the definition of one of a kind
1234456 easy he simplified everything but u got face it or not see I don't love with things evil I don't know what's that like but u got to a shame it really force fighters to do styles they want it's ashame what the sport has came to he got robbed by every ody really ever ass with ashame u need this opinion actually u lost and won over greed save on but u ain't saving shit save on
All I ever wanted when I was growing up was to have someone like Cus to look up to as a role model and a father figure. I just wanted someone who believed in me more than they believed in themselves
I hope you still find it if you are still young enough for it. If older now, may be you can give the younger ones your learned wisdom. You might be pleasantly surprised what you might find out by teaching younger people. I wish you all the best. God bless!
You can get strength from not having someone like that, if u dont give up and search for wisdom... and maybe one day you can be that person for someone else... Thats my thoughts, my experience is similar too yours...
Oh man. I feel that. To have a strong, kind father figure in your life encouraging you is very important for every son. How many have gone astray or not reached their full potential due to their fathers being either absent or unsupportive or abusive?
Cus actually stated that he attributed his fighters success to the ability to succeed without him looking after them. Mike definitely accomplished that but he was surrounded by the wrong people after Cus had passed.
Growing up without a father really messes you up… Hope someone reads this and considers not abandoning their child. Life without structure leads to a belief in nothing and it’s a dark place to live your life…
@@themegaislandman Actually, the peek-a-boo style is pretty ineffective which is why nobody uses it. Cus trained 3 World champions and Stewart trained 41. There's still time to delete your post and learn the sport.
Mike loved Cus. Mike has changed a lot over the years for the better. Imagine the impact one person can make on your life and change your entire trajectory. Sounds like Cus needed Mike just as much as Mike needed him.
There will never in the history of boxing be a more dangerous duo than Cus & Prime Mike. They were relentless in all aspects. "He summons me.." I got absolute chills...
Bang on with that comment just wish cus had lived longer to keep mike on track and watch him come undefeated tyson we will never see another like him the best ever
“I’m Sonny Liston, I’m Jack Dempsey” On the spot he named those boxers, the most ferocious and devastating of their time. A true student of the science
Mike needed Cus and Cus needed Mike. Just listening to him say that he's the reason that he wants to stay alive to be there for him and to help him be the champion that he knew he could become is just awesome. Those two were perfect for each other.
"you can do whatever you believe you can do if you really believe in it" the power of believe in oneself is key to conquer your mind and master confidence when you're afraid
When a vicious fighter can't get through a sentence without crying about his trainer. He was his father. Not just his trainer. So many men need this kind of love. A father's love.
Note how good Mike's head movement and footwork was when he had Cus/Teddy/Kevin. Once he got rid of those guys he relied on brute force punching power.
@@themegaislandman true, because Mike was a shorter heavyweight the pikaboo style was the most appropriate but that requires alot of footwork and head movement to get on the inside of bigger guys and hit and not get hit. once he lost that he became a easier target.
Goes to show how important it is to have a father figure in your life to help lead you in the right direction. Some of us aren’t that fortunate and it makes life a little harder, I’m glad they found each other.
To this day Tyson still gets very emotional when he speaks about Gus. Its heartbreaking to see and hear Mike when he does talk about it. Thats how powerful of a connection or a bond that they had. RIP Gus you were definitely one of the most inspirational trainers of the 20th century hands down.
Imagine all of the potentially great men, who failed to reach their potential, who's names we will never know because chance didn't bring them a man and role model like Cus D'amato.
All these quotes on discipline effected me to a certain extent. Very inspiring even to the average person, personal success, and just being of good character.
All us fatherless boys need a Cus in our live's 💯to teach us about life and most importantly believe in us because everyone makes us believe we ain't shit and don't deserve to be loved
This shows the importance of a father figure in your life, this warms my heart so much, specially this and Ian Wright when he's talking about his old school teacher.
Cus promised Mike Tyson if he did what he said he'd make him champion of the world and then he said he would stay alive till it happened. What is often not understood is this was not the goal. He carried Mike to the mountain top and then left him there to learn what it means to be king of the mountain. This broke Mike again but Cus knew Mike now possessed the ability to rebuild himself and Mike has done so. He may still be falable, as we all are, but Mike Tyson holds knowledge and insight most ppl could only dream of. Cus and Mike truly is a combination of two great life stories combining to make something even greater, a lesson for humanity itself. Their story is one for the generations imho
I was 9 when Mike won the Heavyweight title. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine the guy on the Punch Out game, who had televised fights, trials and tribulations would be someone who I grew to deeply admire and respect. So much so I listen to every interview I can of him, many as of late bringing me to tears. I’ve seen so much oh this man’s life I almost feel selfish wanting to know about his relationship with Cus D’Amato.
We all love iron Mike he’s the best there’s ever been ! You’ve already done it Mike you are the champ ! The fights you fought when you were kid dynamite! Unbeatable you were and still are in the history of boxing! No one was more furious than Mike Tyson! You don’t have to prove anything more to me Mike You are man’s best at boxing!
Let em know Rich! I've always said Iron Mike is by far the greatest to ever lace up a pair. No other fighter in history comes close to the Cus D'Amato, Kevin Rooney, trained Tyson! He's a grandmaster of hand-to-hand combat. A force of nature. And also a deep thinker. A man of the people. Yes, Ray Robinson can also share the pinnacle, but heavyweight champion is the greatest achievement and prize...
Pisses me off that as smart as I am I didn’t see the lesson Coach Joe and Coach Walton were trying to teach me with all that cardio and running they were making me do instead of actually wrestling. They were trying to teach me discipline and my ego and weak mind back than made me miss it. Discipline is the only thing between me and winning it’s always been me vs me. Took me years to figure it out but better late than never bby 💯 thanks coach Joe
When Tyson passes....he will be at peace. Only then, he has never got over his death. Some people never get over the death of someone so influential in their life.
How humble and emotional mike gets when he talks about his male figure a relationship which destroyed racism and everything RIP cuz d’amato and what a humble and loyal guy is mike Tyson
I can honestly say I never loved any boxer more than Tyson....A ferocious beast in the ring ,,Giving soul outside the ring ...So blessed to have met him 3 times at the Boxing Hall of Fame,such a genuine humble man....I love M.T
That father Figure is something i whised for my whole life and never had. Someone who knows so much about life and manlyhood. One Day i will become that mentor to someone else i try to learn as much as possible i want to be in pain so i can learn from it.
When fire met water and agreed. The world was theirs. So special. I’m just happy I was in my 20s when they entered the arena and I witnessed (on tv) his journey.
A parent is rightfully worried that their child might fall when learning to ride a bike, but not more than they know that they will get it even if they did fall. Cus said he wouldn't leave until Mike made it and, although we would've loved to see him around more - Tyson especially, he did not pass on only until Mike had become the roaring blaze he'd been tending to since he was a boy. "I believe that a person dies when they no longer wants to live, but I have a reason with Mike here.....and I WILL stay alive and I WILL watch him become a success." They needed each other and ended up helping a whole lot more people than one another. Such a special bond story they have. RIP Coach
Cus's words about Mike giving him purpose to live gave me motivation to change my life so that my parents can see me become successful before they leave this earth. Every parents dream is watch their children become happy successful people. And I believe cus loved Mike like his own son
Perfect fit for both people at the right times in their lives. Both would probably had left this earth before their time if they did not cross paths when they did. Instead, they did cross paths and they both created something the boxing world never saw, or probably never will.
Cus has done his part is bringing out the potential in Mike. Unfortunately the late 80s and 90s was an era where athletes are easily misguided due to fame and money. You either learn the easy way or the hard way and mike chose the hard way. Glad he has recovered though
Fear held in back, fear got him to the top of the world the baddest man on the planet, and then it pulled him down into the worst depths within himself. But what brought him back to this humblest man on the planet? Idk. Hard to say, wisdom and through the hard realizations that those depths created. Maybe? Or the toad.(same thing hah)
You make a good point about athletes in the 80s and 90s. I’d think if Mike was brought up today he’d wouldn’t have been so misled. Athletes seem a lot more business savvy, and more empowered to take care of themselves mentally and avoid the pitfalls of fame.
Mike Tyson speaks to my soul like very few people on this planet can. People used to always pull up his quotes and be like “look at this guy. Isn’t he crazy?” and laugh… I never could because I felt every single word he spoke.

Makes me cry just thinking about it. My adopted father said that about me for 10 years. meant the world to me

Amen! May Cus be resting in peace, amazing man.

I can tell just from encountering this now that Cus was not just a boxing coach, he was a philosopher
That emotion at 3.05 ....raw... what a life story
I couldn't catch the words, could you please explain it?
I was 9 when Mike won the Heavyweight title. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine the guy on the Punch Out game, who had televised fights, trials and tribulations would be someone who I grew to deeply admire and respect. So much so I listen to every interview I can of him, many as of late bringing me to tears. I’ve seen so much oh this man’s life I almost feel selfish wanting to know about his relationship with Cus D’Amato.
So True ^^ please Mary me y be waiting for us in France 😀
Long life Cus D'Amato! Rest in peace!
I'm a grown ass man tearing up at a Mike Tyson video...that is very unexpected but god damn it Cus D'Amato must've been a special kind of man.
We all love iron Mike he’s the best there’s ever been ! You’ve already done it Mike you are the champ ! The fights you fought when you were kid dynamite! Unbeatable you were and still are in the history of boxing! No one was more furious than Mike Tyson! You don’t have to prove anything more to me Mike You are man’s best at boxing!
Let em know Rich! I've always said Iron Mike is by far the greatest to ever lace up a pair. No other fighter in history comes close to the Cus D'Amato, Kevin Rooney, trained Tyson! He's a grandmaster of hand-to-hand combat. A force of nature. And also a deep thinker. A man of the people. Yes, Ray Robinson can also share the pinnacle, but heavyweight champion is the greatest achievement and prize...
Pisses me off that as smart as I am I didn’t see the lesson Coach Joe and Coach Walton were trying to teach me with all that cardio and running they were making me do instead of actually wrestling. They were trying to teach me discipline and my ego and weak mind back than made me miss it. Discipline is the only thing between me and winning it’s always been me vs me. Took me years to figure it out but better late than never bby 💯 thanks coach Joe
100%. Motivation comes anf goes, discipline js always there
When Tyson passes....he will be at peace. Only then, he has never got over his death. Some people never get over the death of someone so influential in their life.
If you control the fear you will be the beast very discipline guy number one coach
Jeez, Mike was deeply connected to Cus, more connected than most biological fathers and sons....
Tyson deve tutto a quest'uomo,non sarebbe stato niente senza di lui
How humble and emotional mike gets when he talks about his male figure a relationship which destroyed racism and everything RIP cuz d’amato and what a humble and loyal guy is mike Tyson
This video talking about legends, people that hard to see every day! We have to wait for a long long time before something like that happens again.
I love Mike Tyson.
Cus was not a Trainer, he was a teacher. Not just in boxing, but also in Life. I wish i had had a Father like him.
Im glad I grew up in this era
This is just an amazing story.. a guy created a monster of perfection.. I love it
“How lucky you must have been to run into that guy, no no he said he summoned me” that was deep
Damn bro, this edit was so clean (and of course Mike's story and lines are impeccable), got me tearing up.
He showed Mike love he so much needed. Also taught him his ability to fight.
❤
truth
Every student needs a master.
I can honestly say I never loved any boxer more than Tyson....A ferocious beast in the ring ,,Giving soul outside the ring ...So blessed to have met him 3 times at the Boxing Hall of Fame,such a genuine humble man....I love M.T
That father Figure is something i whised for my whole life and never had. Someone who knows so much about life and manlyhood. One Day i will become that mentor to someone else i try to learn as much as possible i want to be in pain so i can learn from it.
OMG - this touches my heart.
Wherever Cus will go, Mike will go, wherever Mike will go, Cus will go, these two legends will keep each other alive forever in the history of sports!
Usyk (relatively small) and Fury (always out of shape compared to other HWs) prove that it's really 75% their minds.
Qawi also.
When fire met water and agreed. The world was theirs. So special. I’m just happy I was in my 20s when they entered the arena and I witnessed (on tv) his journey.
A parent is rightfully worried that their child might fall when learning to ride a bike, but not more than they know that they will get it even if they did fall.
Cus said he wouldn't leave until Mike made it and, although we would've loved to see him around more - Tyson especially, he did not pass on only until Mike had become the roaring blaze he'd been tending to since he was a boy.
"I believe that a person dies when they no longer wants to live, but I have a reason with Mike here.....and I WILL stay alive and I WILL watch him become a success." They needed each other and ended up helping a whole lot more people than one another. Such a special bond story they have.
RIP Coach
Cus's words about Mike giving him purpose to live gave me motivation to change my life so that my parents can see me become successful before they leave this earth. Every parents dream is watch their children become happy successful people. And I believe cus loved Mike like his own son
Sticc - Yes he adopted Mike when his mom died!
Good luck my friend, you got this. Remember, Its all about character
Perfect fit for both people at the right times in their lives. Both would probably had left this earth before their time if they did not cross paths when they did. Instead, they did cross paths and they both created something the boxing world never saw, or probably never will.
Cus is a very Dangerous man, he can control a beast and give him orders, all he can do is yes Master....
And i believe a person dies when they no longer want to live...👌
Cus
Cus amazing … what a story … reality greater than fiction
Mike always grateful for his coach, & humble, down to earth person. No doubt he is a perfect legend in the boxing ring,
Pfft! No he was not that's just preposterous given what we know
Cus has done his part is bringing out the potential in Mike. Unfortunately the late 80s and 90s was an era where athletes are easily misguided due to fame and money. You either learn the easy way or the hard way and mike chose the hard way. Glad he has recovered though
Fear held in back, fear got him to the top of the world the baddest man on the planet, and then it pulled him down into the worst depths within himself. But what brought him back to this humblest man on the planet?
Idk.
Hard to say, wisdom and through the hard realizations that those depths created. Maybe? Or the toad.(same thing hah)
You make a good point about athletes in the 80s and 90s. I’d think if Mike was brought up today he’d wouldn’t have been so misled. Athletes seem a lot more business savvy, and more empowered to take care of themselves mentally and avoid the pitfalls of fame.

Dumb post, fella.
This is fire So full of heart. Grest ,great video,editing,voice,mixin.
I always come back to watch this video for some inspiration ❤
Mike Tyson speaks to my soul like very few people on this planet can. People used to always pull up his quotes and be like “look at this guy. Isn’t he crazy?” and laugh… I never could because I felt every single word he spoke.
