Because he knows. He had talent, but when he stopped training as hard and as consistent, every big boxer he fought beat him. Mike under Cus literally lived in the gym. He slept there and often didn't leave for days. People attribute too much of what top tier athletes achieve to talent. Talent isn't enough when you're giving 70% while your opponent gives 100%.

The powerful impact that Cus had on Mike is extraordinary. Cus passed in 1985. Well over 30 years later at this point, and he still can’t control the emotions when he has to put it to words. The amount of love,respect, fear and honor just can’t be suppressed. I don’t know the exact time frame Cus worked & fathered Mike, probably less than 10 years. The work ethic & knowledge he passed on to Mike still has a powerful impact on him present day. Cus was in the last years of his life when this was happening in his existence on earth. I would love to ask Mike how much of what was passed on he uses today. What is in the forefront of his thoughts. Also, his translation of it & how he uses it today for his children & himself. People like Cus make a difference. No matter how long you been alive, some of our best work may be waiting till the end of our story. This is very inspirational & we should share knowledge to make the world a better place. In the end we take nothing with us, materialized or accumulated. What we can do is leave things behind to help generations to come.

Seeing Mike cry remembering Cus D'Amato makes Mike more of a man.

[@jeremyjohnson7676]

The sadness and the pain is so strong inside him, he can't even talk... that's so heartbreaking.

[@jinmoya3483]

"It takes more than that to be a fighter" DAMN RIGHT

[@obiwanshinobi87]

You can tell that Cus was more of a father to him than anyone

[@UFCfan.]

You were a specimen IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT TO BE A FIGHTER Tyson is real man

[@bodhi8297]

When you lose someone who’s been your only father figure it’s devastating to a young man. It leaves a hole that can never be filled. I feel Mike’s pain. when he speaks on Cus I get choked up.

[@kyyyy21]

“ How did he know that I was the one? “ Gives me goosebumps every time

[@robertoautore9252]

People talk trash about him, they don't have an idea the hell he's been through, I admire him for what he has accomplished in life, he became the greatest boxer of all time, Legend IRON Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson is actually a really simple man.... and i think we all can learn from that.. His loyalty to Cus and Ali is just inspirational

[@anderwneale5239]

Such a emotional and sensitive soul,a great man.

[@anthonym6202]

Mike really had something special with Cus. He looked at him not just like his father but like his boss and his creator it’s like he was a servant to Cus and he looked at him as his king . The emotion he feels for his deep.

[@georgecorrea8530]

When I see Mike Tyson cry and get emotional I cry with him. Deep down Mike is a sensitive man and has a good heart. I am glad he was able to reinvent himself and become a better person and learned from his experiences and matured. Given his background I am sure it was not easy to rise above it all. I wish him only the best in life.

THis is WHY parents MUST LOVE their children and fill them with a sense of self worth THAT comes from the fact that they exist and not because of what they can become or achieve!!!! God help this man...who is trapped in the pain of his childhood!

[@Polysthenes]

He was a specimen but it's because he saw his heart. He knew without the shadow of a doubt Mike had greatness in him.

[@domenicobartoccioni1610]

The respect and the devotion he has for Cus D'Amato is extraordinary.

[@fortitudinemethonorem4088]

It shows the power/impact and importance a man/ father has on a young man's life.

[@ILYASS.SCH1]

This is the First time I See Mike Crying.. 😔 Rest In Peace Cus 🙏

[@jl1399]

Thats a love, a bond and a friendship that lasted far beyond death

[@michaelsullivan9050]

There is no boxer like Mike ! He is IRON MIKE !✊ Lots of respect to Mike !!!

[@spaceman5089]

Its beautiful to see such a relationship between and a black man and a white man and them taking care of each other like family.

[@user-mw8hw9io7r]

It not about colour it about heart

[@jesuslovesyou7130]

What's black and white?

[@bruceleroy8063]

@Hugo If you say you don't think about race right now, I think you're being dishonest. I'm mixed and I think their relationship is beautiful and it does mean something that they are from such different cultures and genuinely loved each other.

[@bruceleroy8063]

@Hugo You're right.

[@javirios3107]

Who gives a potato shit fuck what the skin colors are??

[@mrs.6813]

It's the love, devotion, and gratitude that Mike feels for Cus that chokes him up. It's a very beautiful and intense experience, what is shared between a student and a master/Guru There is nothing that compares to it.

[@huaweip40proCarlo]

To see a strong man like Tyson cry for the love and respect he had for his dad, touches the heart. I hope he gives that back and gets to be that special for someone too.

[@blackbuddha7731]

It's sad because most of us who come from the hood just need that little bit of belief, love and attention to become great

[@god6less]

The father that choose you, and the love that was built with sweat and blood.

[@Stuart267]

The way Tyson breaks down when it comes to talking about his trainer/father figure genuinely brings a tear to the eye.

[@OurFantasyLife]

Anyone who has lost a parent can understand what Mike is going through. The loss is never very far. You come up with ways to manage it, to suppress the feelings, but that void is just there all the time, that absence of someone who loved you and whom you loved unconditionally. There's nothing on Earth like the love of a good parent and once it's gone you feel it the rest of your life.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

Love and fear, that sounds like a father to me. He lost his father figure at the worst possible time. Sadly, I can relate to that. RIP dad!

[@XtraM3dium]

Seeing Mike Tyson cry is like seeing your favorite uncle cry 😕

[@sdrewe99]

Fabulous to see how Mike talks about and honours the great Cus.Fabulous relationship those two had.

[@thomaslangley1571]

That's why Mike is my favourite human being in history. Besides my daughter.. he's a very good man, with a fantastic soul.

[@terrybates1829]

Seriously he was a young boy who was showed love unless u have walked in his shoes its hard to comprehend Mike Tyson nothing but love no judgement we are only human love ya my brother 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🖤💛❤️

[@rjames908]

See what it means people? When you have that one person in your life that truly believes in you and recognizes the special talent and soul that you are. That's one of the greatest gifts to receive in life. We love and respect Mike for his talent and for showing respect, humility and gratitude to his coach and mentor. Mike was one of the greatest fiercest boxers to have stepped in the ring!

[@efecemylmaz2524]

If Cus had lived longer than thinking that Mike Tyson’s record will be 100-0 would not been wrong

[@dannyboy4140]

holyfield still beats him though

[@efecemylmaz2524]

Chris Brown Tyson with a will...I personally don’t think so

[@dannyboy4140]

@@efecemylmaz2524 i just think his style is suited for holyfield. Evanders is great at countering and using his opponents agression against them. Not to mention he is tough enough to take tysons best shots and stay on his feet til the later rounds when mike is tired then holyfield starts outboxing him.

[@efecemylmaz2524]

Chris Brown you’re absolutly right...It’s impossible to think about a fight between prime Tyson and Holyfield because they didn’t fought

[@dannyboy4140]

@@efecemylmaz2524 holyfield was 34 and tyson was only 30 when they first fought. Tyson fought tomato cans and a few old men in his 20s.

Майк молоток. Молодец. Майк я полюбил бокс когда увидел тебя в ринге. Это то чему научил тебя cas.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

My mom told me about Mike's past. He was incredibly aggressive and short-tempered, but Cus managed to reign him in. He was like a father to Mike; a mentor, a trainer, and a father. I think she also mentioned that when Cus passed away, it really affected Mike.

[@tylerjay532]

"it really affected mike" is a nice way of saying his life spiraled out of control and he went to prison

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@@tylerjay532 I was referring to how he became really depressed.

[@lello333]

Mike is the greatest fight of all time, and Cus was everything for him.. what a beutiful thing! Love u Cus, Love u Mike
