Mike Tyson & Cus D'Amato

[@Vladimyrful]

The whole saga of Cus' and Mike's relationship illustrates how important good fathers are and how devastating their absence is.

[@Connect_with_Yourself]

The absence of a good/compassionate/loving father is truly devastating. I can attest to that.

[@mehdi2635]

or let's also say when they are there but not there their presence is like their absence ! is also devastating parents can build or destroy a human being with or without intention unfortunately

Iron Mile was great until he signed with Don King.

[@semtur8824]

[@gregscrabshack2307]

look at interviews with don king & mike. the body language was completely different

“He’s my boy, he’s with me”

[@charlestresnicky1144]

Those words hit me, I can't imagine what Mike felt

[@harryskates9528]

Every time I hear that it brings tears to my eyes❤

[@jordangroff8978]

I honestly believe that if Cus had lived 10-15 more years that Mike would have gone 75 - 0, and that everyone would be calling him The Greatest.

[@daveparsons6956]

Mike is The Greatest. Who thinks there has been a better boxer?

[@boogembay3822]

[@albertrodriguez9665]

@@daveparsons6956 Mike's definitely in the top ten greatest fighters of all time but Joe Louis is the greatest heavy weight champion of all time and if you don't know who he was you don't know shit about boxing!🥊

[@bettingonmma]

Absolutely! Without a doubt and beyond question!

[@mrdisaster5880]

I don’t think mike wanna put his name above Ali his is too big of a fanboy to his idol.

[@vashna3799]

the worst thing for Mike was Cus dying ,the only person who truly loved Tyson and brought the best out of him

[@tmoney99296]

We all have love for Mike!

[@MARKALANPALMER]

I'm surprised that Mike didn't burst into tears hearing Cus say that Mike gives him a reason to live amongst other things because if someone said that about me I would bawl my eyes out right in front of them

[@javalidomato2100]

he couldn’t cry mate! otherwise Cus would give him a smack

[@frankespinoza9]

Mike never forget its probably why he cries everytime he talks abt cuz .probably thinking of that very moment

[@TheCrystalPhoenix]

He wasn’t able to cry in front of Cus.. as much as Cus was a father figure, he’s also the one that created Tyson’s fearlessness ego

[@boudusaved4719]

He bawls every time he recalls Cus.

[@dotheyfloat9961]

You gain that kind of emotion when you get older. Teenagers don't really have that kind of emotional reaction yet. When I was a kid I'd barely ever cry, now I'm older it seems that everyone's cutting onions 24/7.

[@thetruthiswithin9172]

Rocky remembered Mickey saying the exact same thing to him in Rocky 5...this interview clearly inspired the movie scene

[@imirish4702]

Oscar Ekedede Stallone is nothing compared to Mike Tyson.

[@kappakappa4507]

Prometheus Engineer nobody mentioned stallone... dumbass

[@WimpyV3]

agreed....it's almost word for word

[@mattreilly2064]

Yeah I’m watching Rocky V just now too true

[@Rdmz805]

Look at the way mike looks at Cus

[@cfbagaian]

Cus said: “ I would not leave until that happen” Unfortunately when Cus died Pieces of Mike Soul died as well

[@armageddon_boy4916]

You can see the joy and happiness in Mike’s eyes when Cus talks about him!! It truly was a father and son relationship.

[@priscillaquayesah-hd5kc]

Greatest Father and son relationship

[@hmgkx]

Every man ought to have a father like Cus.

[@muP8085]

0:38 just look at mike...admiring his angel like a small kid

[@freddylong156]

This right here is why Mike can never talk about Cus without getting emotional and crying because they both saved each other at a time in there life when both needed saving. So damn powerful

[@jimbob2629]

To me- he's my boy, he's with me. Thats exactly what a father figure says when he loves his boy. No bullshit, no strings attached, just unconditional love.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

It's a shame Britain has banned Tyson from coming here to promote his book. He has matured beyond his years and has a lot to give and teach people who would look up to him. Relax the ban. We want you to come here Mr Tyson!

[@834373]

I read the book, I'm sure Mike would have no problem admitting that he is not much in the way of a role model. Banning him from entering the UK because of crimes that took place decades ago does seem extreme but laws are laws I suppose.

[@NaNa-kj2gw]

I think it's fine. The UK's not really a country worth visiting to be honest.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

@@NaNa-kj2gw Yeah, not many people visit the UK. Not really much to do, or see. Not much history and culture either. Where do you live?

look how mike tyson looks with great respect / admiration at 00:40 To mike it was a father he never did

[@twingoody7306]

I say the same thing.

[@Rdmz805]

Which is why I believe he fell so hard after Cus died. A lot of his motivation came from wanting to make Cus proud. Also why I believe if Cus stayed alive mike would’ve truly became unstoppable

[@textwarrior1]

I will not leave until that happens....cus said, I shed a tear man...thats a father who would die for his son, what an awesome relationship between Mike and Cus.

[@anaitali8256]

This interview highlights a friendship that can be described as the utmost love between two human beings. A teacher and a student who care and respect each other in a way that only a few people can. May you rest in peace Mr D’amato for allowing generations of boxing fans to witness your student, Mr Tyson, to recover from a troubled childhood, and also be one of the greatest boxers of all time. I and many others are thankful Mr D’amato, and may you, eternally, rest in peace.

[@adrianhotson5273]

Imagine hearing the words "he's my boy, he's with me".

[@letslearnboxing6910]

The last part, literally brought tears to my eyes Two incredible legends and I how I wished Cus stayed alive throughout Tyson's career. Tyson has became one of the biggest legend and icon in boxing history. Two genius and a legend in boxing. I just love to see the two together no matter how many times I watch.

[@americangirl-]

The way Tyson looks at Cus is absolutely powerful

[@rosss1959]

I know, right? I wish Cus coulda hung around long enough to see him win the belt.

[@victorrain]

Rick Ross But Cus knew Mike was always going to...not only be Champion but change Boxing history. Even when Mike was a kid, he kept saying that.

this reminds me a lot of my relationship with my ex work manager and how she took me in. she asked for nothing and treats me like a son. thanks to her, I too have excelled in life. I don't want to think about it. I'll just feel it and live my life.

He would've went down in the history books as the GREATEST boxer to ever live & he would've retired undefeated without a doubt. Mike just wasn't the same when Cus died.

"A person dies when he no longer wants to live." this is so true. And it is not correlated with age either. an 80 year old man can have more energy and drive than a 20 year old

it takes a lot to be shut down and rebuilt. especiallly at that age..he became respectful in strangers homes. he became a new person. that in itself expended upon a young person that has no way which to go is the same reason i teach people to cook food. you might become greater than me. but i will always respect the values i instilled in you and you as a young person. fathering skillls isnt easy when you die. you are just happy that certain people listen.
