About 18 years ago, I was fortunate enough and blessed to have met Ali who was with his brother in downtown Chicago.

Mike always said he both feared and respected Cus. He may have been old but you can see he has an intimidating presence. For Mike it probably felt like a loving but strict grandfather.

It’s just a joke, it’s a way guys/ppl can tease her earnestly compliment one another simultaneously, you could tell both these guys are very socially intelligent people. Tyson on the other hand wasn’t as socially intelligent in the pragmatic way, but Mike had his own genius instilled in large part by Cus but perhaps just as much or I daresay even more by the incredibly dark and hostile place he grew up in on the streets of Brooklyn/NYC at the time he was there with the awful situation his family to the extent he’d even had one was in. Also because of this, despite his outstanding physical gifts (which height wasn’t among, for a world class super heavyweight anyway, given Mike was only like 5’11” hell maybe even 5’10” (now that he’s older at least lol) though he was always listed as 5’11”. On the other hand, I learned very very young that often the smaller, stockier guys can be the most dangerous/pugnacious ones. Also, given what Mike had to contend with emotionally and psychologically, in some ways he deserves more respect than Ali who earned his share too with his Vietnam situation but also was always a tall handsome beloved charismatic fellow without the dark background Mike had so didn’t face the kinds of dark emotions Mike was constantly struggling against and still is a little thought thankfully he’s doing much better today as far as I can tell (thank God for Cus’s genius in recognizing his talent and then in molding him psychologically, intellectually, and physically the way he did even as an elderly guy, Cus has a real GOAT spirit for that). But yeah Mike’s story is probably more compelling to me, and frankly I don’t know how peak Mike could’ve been beat by anyone, even Ali with his reach advantage and speed, Mike’s speed and power and pugnacious intelligence and viciousness was just unbelievable before Cus sadly died and Mike surrounded himself with grifter clowns and scumbags including that wretched witch Robin Givens, among many others like Don King and the whole Nation of Islam clown show. Anyway, yeah Muhammad, Cus, and Ali all had immense respect for one another and rightfully so.

Old man was a genius. He found the person who had the qualities he needed to take revenge on the world and he trained him like a Greek gladiator. After cus Mike fell off something we can all with a brain can agree with. This is the worst enemy you will ever have, the payback is an obsession!
Cus was overrated and his style of Peekabo never worked vs elite, key to beat Peekabo is Jab, footwork, long reach and height like Lewis or Ali, another key is being power puncher with granite chin and long jab like Sonny Liston and George Foreman you can't fight these monsters by keep moving inside and staying in pocket

I love this interaction bro. So wholesome giant athletic fighter talking to the master coach and neither can do what the other does but both are part of the same game

@@AhtuMondellook but thats you, other people formed a connection. Just like when you die, your family, or friends, or fans even might miss you, others may not. But These men were more than just boxing, they were also amazing people. So u may not care but other might. Just saying because even my mom who hates boxing can admire and admit to the work ethic and great men these two were, as well as acknowledge what they left behind
From the exact moment Ali started discussing his famous shuffle, Cus had already made up in his mind what he would do. He just had to buy a little time due to his age 😂😂😂 great vid
No he took a monster and made him a killing machine and than there was no one after Cus that could hold his leash he is the master mind and the craftsmen behind probably the two greatest heavyweights ever easily the most legendary and recognizable
No Cus D'Amato made a MAN and a warrior...Don King made Tyson a monster. I know you don't mean monster in a derogatory way but Tyson became a despicable human being when he was around Don King after Cus died. He lost his foundations and became easily manipulated especially his evil wife at the time.
I dunno man, based on the Pilot episode before us, and the fact that reality TV isn't great, I'm glad this is all we have. I do think that a funny skit could be made about black men being untrusting, getting pissed off with encounters with this old white guy until they find out hes conveniently always near a black boxer that takes up for him and his curmudgeonly disposition, explaining it away as indiscriminate, helping to lift brothers up. They then say, this is Cus. He's cool. Then they say, awww ok that's whats up Cuz, then he does a black hand shake thing with them and they say, keep it up, cuz. Then, exhausted at the end of his day having to defend his asshole old white guyness every day, takes his shoes off and says to himself out loud with a sigh..."Fuckin Naggers".
I love this, this is such a generational thing, where the young man is being cocky and brazen and thinks these old timers know nothing and then gets schooled by grandpa. It really does feel like a grandfather and a grandson relationship here, as good as Ali was Cus just had an eye and a great mind for this sport, even if his body can't keep up anymore, he taught Ali something that day.

Cassuis Clay was named after a HERO. And did himself a great disservice naming himself after a slaver.

That doesn't mean I don't respect what Muhammad Ali did for Civil Rights. Remember, Christ is LORD. But Yeshua HaMashiach didn't come to be likeable. Christ came to bring a sword (WORD of God) "dividing" those who Love יהוה / "Yahovah" from those who do not. Take up Christ's Name today, and you will be hated. Just like the King of Kings was back then.
yess!!@@guitarttimman
Subjective but academically speaking the most influential person to ever exist is the prophet Mohammed (pbuh) at rank 1.
“I’m bouncin.. I’m bouncin.. DONT hit me now…” he was nervous lol
No wasnt that was mike tyson trailer
This video is just the definition of legendary
No wonder Mike was a champ. Cus was an incredible force of skill and wisdom.
What skill did Cus have, besides taliking big and convincing fighters he was better than what he was.
@@rw2698here we go..
@@rw2698stop hating on cus.
@@rw2698didn't he coach 2 world heavyweight champions? So.. he completely taught 2 kids from nothing and made them Champs? Yeah bro he didn't accomplish anything. Foh
@@rw2698 looks like he did and has done more than you ever have and will
Cus had his measure right from the start.
That old man couldn't do anything in a fight.
@@jaymike3302ur a clown
But he had his hands nicely placed in his hips ,,Okay gimme that shuffle High defense step in low to the stomach , Cus youre a hero , a true Master trainer love it The spirit of Ali and Cus to the sport -game In Optima Forma Legendary
@@jaymike3302
@@jaymike3302 He created mike tyson you fool. Outta pocket statement if ive ever heard one
@@jaymike3302nobody gives a fuck bud, like literally nobody cares
Brilliant. This man is ready to go just like that with Ali. Love it! Imagine a world without Cus...then imagine a world with no Mike Tyson. Glad it worked out! They get old, but the fight never dies.
RIP to a legend. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for this footage BTW. 👍🏼
Wow this is great in watch this with a smile on my face🔥💯✌️2 Legends!
The great Cus strikes again👍
Cus knew how great Ali was and Ali knew that Cus was a great trainer.
Cus would have been arguably the greatest boxer if he didn't get his eye poked by a stick in a street fight when he was younger , hence why he became a trainer & mentor!!!!! He literally breathed boxing more than even Tyson or Ali did 💯
Doesn't matter who uploads this video... I always enjoy watching it ❤
CUS THE LEGEND!!! RIP KING CUS D'AMATO!!! 🙏 🪦 🙏
Cus really was a centrepiece in 3 different heavyweight eras !! Legend
FACT
“Why you gettin’ on guard??” 😂😂😂 the relationship between these two legends is heartwarming 🙂
Right after twlling him to put his guard up.
🤣
He knew what was coming, he literally asked for ir.
yeh that was brilliant.
Las leyendas nunca mueren
Son eternad 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️descansen en paz maestros ❤
cus ❤ .. Badass grandpa i ever seen
I love this interaction bro. So wholesome giant athletic fighter talking to the master coach and neither can do what the other does but both are part of the same game
i think u just said a Haiku
@@dreperez8403what a weeb
@monghanclan2330 nah, not a weeb at all hehe I do have a great deal of love for the movie Wayne's World tho. Hint hint.
wholesome.
wholesome.
wholesome.
wholesome.
And no woke people to complain about some sort of identity issue.
What a beautiful video, that's two top class gentlemen, which the world still misses.
Just another Tuesday for ol' Cus
I respect and admire them but don't miss them.
Never knew them personally, they have nothing to do with my world.
I don't wake up and think HEY, I miss Cus and Ali. Pretty sure most people don't.
Fairly sure the world is bigger than boxing
@@AhtuMondellook but thats you, other people formed a connection. Just like when you die, your family, or friends, or fans even might miss you, others may not. But These men were more than just boxing, they were also amazing people. So u may not care but other might. Just saying because even my mom who hates boxing can admire and admit to the work ethic and great men these two were, as well as acknowledge what they left behind
Cus gettin' ready to handle Muhammad Ali and probably capable of doing it.
That's why I always respect my elders. Even a powerhouse like Ali can be toppled by experience.
When fighting had class, honor and grace… Legends.
Before trump and other greedy motherfuckers took over and ruined it.
Ali and class?! Funny joke.
@@FIxt00l explain snowflake?
@@FIxt00l Put your mom’s phone down now, child.🖕🖕🤡💩🤦♂️
@@joedirt1006how is that snowflake? your the one who was offended
From the exact moment Ali started discussing his famous shuffle, Cus had already made up in his mind what he would do. He just had to buy a little time due to his age 😂😂😂 great vid
Cus must've been a legendary boxer in his time, and i just wanna see his fights really badly.
Cus D'AMATO Tysons Trainor Rest in Pease 🙏 Cus, and thanks for all you done.
"You not as dumb as you look" is a huge compliment from Ali.
😂😂i mean...
LOL yeah
More of an insult, especially when said to arguably the greatest boxing coach ever
@@JohnSmith-rr3jt In my experience , all Nuggers have overconfidence as a weakness. Prove me wrong.
@@JohnSmith-rr3jttrue if he was sensitive. He gets it’s a joke
The split second he started the shuffle, he threw his strike. He really was a legend among legends who trained more legends.
Well, he did know it was coming. He spent the whole exchange preparing for it.
@@Shade84No he didn't. His hearing was so bad at that age that he couldn't even have heard a truck hitting him. He punched Ali out of pure instinct
@@rasmusturkka480 There is zero evidence of that in this video. The two of them are holding a pretty fluent conversation.
The underlining respect between the two is great.
That was one of the most beautiful smiles from Muhammad Ali I have ever seen
I've watched this so many times and never tire of it.
I watched this documentary so many times..2 legends
Mike carrega até hoje uma característica inigualável, tudo moldado por damatto
That's the quickest I've ever scene an elderly man move....wow!!!!
This man made a MONSTER and his name was Mike Tyson
No he took a monster and made him a killing machine and than there was no one after Cus that could hold his leash he is the master mind and the craftsmen behind probably the two greatest heavyweights ever easily the most legendary and recognizable
No Cus D'Amato made a MAN and a warrior...Don King made Tyson a monster.
I know you don't mean monster in a derogatory way but Tyson became a despicable human being when he was around Don King after Cus died. He lost his foundations and became easily manipulated especially his evil wife at the time.
@@Jameslawzбро он име ввиду , Тайсона как боксера который вырубал всех и вся. Его техника и мощь это заслуга КАСА
its actually the opposite , cus made a men out of a monster !

Love watching Muhammad, he always puts a smile on my face 😊
Duas lendas... Mohamad.. era incrivel em suas entrevistas, que maravilhoso exister muitas materias com ele... não dá pra acreditar que se foi.
100 percent
"Cus and Ali" would have been a great reality tv show.
I dunno man, based on the Pilot episode before us, and the fact that reality TV isn't great, I'm glad this is all we have. I do think that a funny skit could be made about black men being untrusting, getting pissed off with encounters with this old white guy until they find out hes conveniently always near a black boxer that takes up for him and his curmudgeonly disposition, explaining it away as indiscriminate, helping to lift brothers up. They then say, this is Cus. He's cool. Then they say, awww ok that's whats up Cuz, then he does a black hand shake thing with them and they say, keep it up, cuz. Then, exhausted at the end of his day having to defend his asshole old white guyness every day, takes his shoes off and says to himself out loud with a sigh..."Fuckin Naggers".
One hell of a podcast
I love this, this is such a generational thing, where the young man is being cocky and brazen and thinks these old timers know nothing and then gets schooled by grandpa.
It really does feel like a grandfather and a grandson relationship here, as good as Ali was Cus just had an eye and a great mind for this sport, even if his body can't keep up anymore, he taught Ali something that day.
Muhammad's voice is so calming and friendly! One of my childhood idols right up to this day! RIP MA.
"Youre not as dumb as you look" said with ego on the roof but sure calming and friendly
ruclips.net/video/1yDKa0Q9RCQ/видео.htmlsi=DCOQCVIaN5_QNgSS though it has a right wing bend, the footage speaks for itself... truly calming and friendly
@@gerybock6568 Stop being a sensitive snowflake, that wasn’t even remotely ego driven, he was clearly bantering and cus knew that. And yes, Ali’s voice is more calming than most, that goes without saying
