Mike Tyson on what Cus D'Amato Meant To Him

#miketyson #boxing #shorts

[@djdefaut6869]

Mike Tyson was no project, he was a son to Cus D Amato. He gave him guidance.

[@sleeperino3054]

He was the pet project of Cus.

[@jesusestrada49]

Cus Loved mike he watched over him like a father cause he was his father

[@kareemabbas310]

You damn right he wasn't a pet project ....Cus said affectionly,"He's my boy he's with me"! Gives me chills when Cus says that!!! That last question by Brian shook up Tyson and he gets choked up because his last words were the softest!

[@Koi_World]

@@kareemabbas310 A 'pet project' is something that we dedicate ourselves to with a deep sense of affection and passion. So yes he was a pet project.

[@BearCache]

He was a pet project in there sense that cus was helping develop mikes talents. But deeper than that, mike was a son to cus. Cus was being a father figure to mike the only way he knew how.

[@EmmaEffa]

Mike was so moved by that question. And Brian asked objectively but leaving space for Mike’s humanity. That was both kind and brilliant because it exposed Mike’s vulnerability in a way that didn’t exploitive or demeaning. Lovely. He lost his mentor at such a critical moment.

“Not at all Brian”

[@evanwashington6959]

I felt that

[@conraddejongh3898]

Was looking for this. Mike rarely used people's first names when adressing them. The emphasis he placed on that final statement by using Brian's first name can be felt

All respect when talking in regards to Cus. Really loved him like a father.

Tyson is not only Strong physically but also Mentally.

[@regulartower588]

Seriously?

[@carllazarraga2858]

The two things are connected. You can forge a strong body without a strong mind.

[@akshayall9049]

Ufff the articulation levels of Tyson

[@WhtUpDoeRich]

I know you would think he’s some dumb kid who just knows boxing but he was really intelligent

[@nonstoppkFred]

@@WhtUpDoeRichis*

[@NateGarcia-po4gp]

He is profiting off of his mistake with Evander Holyfield by selling Mike Tyson ears as edible's with a bite taken out of each one. If that's not genius I do not know what is ? Also he is successful in and out of the ring. He is not stupid by far in fact I am willing to bet my entire life savings that he has a higher I.Q. than you.

What a beautiful moment...

[@kareemabbas310]

Just that look of painful loss in Tyson's eyes gets me everytime...He truly loved Cus

[@liquidpaperplease]

Tyson has a beautiful soul

[@RedDogForge]

he wasnt his pet project, thats a terrible thing to imply. Cus took him in and gave him a home and a career. he was the father Mike never had.

[@Koi_World]

How is that a terrible thing to imply? It implies Tyson meant a lot to him, it was personal, not objective. A personal favorite instead of being considered necessary. A pet project is something that we dedicate ourselves to with a deep sense of affection and passion.

[@yimpyoi9808]

he was sort of like a father i guess... if you ever see videos of them together he was very cold and stern but also a motivator and coach to tyson. his knowledge on boxing was also one of the key components to tysons early success, finding him the exact opponents he needed to climb the ladder without losing

[@RedDogForge]

@@yimpyoi9808 when i trained my protoge to make knives i was all business, deadly serious and curt, when we wernt working we were much more relaxed and friendly. somthings require deadly seriousness.

[@RedDogForge]

@@Koi_World it cheapens the relationship, mike was a much deeper commitment for Cus than a passion project. a project implies it has a start and finish... Mike was like a son to him. a lifetime commitment.

[@Koi_World]

@@RedDogForgehe died before Tyson turned 20, hardly a lifetime commitment. It doesn’t cheapen it, you’re just misconstruing the definition of it.

[@mikewilson8813]

Very touching we love ya Mike 🐺

[@majjegaming5927]

He is so intelligent hes a true genius

[@bosco0172]

and he directed it all towards the whole history of warriors, boxing is just a fraction of that history.

Look at how Mike, the son, hugged his father so lovingly, and how Cus loved how his son hugged him. Such a wholesome and beautiful photo of them both!

[@Tronic_Rider-kl9cu]

You can see that this question moved Mike in such a profound way. This man's mental strength is way more than his physical

[@dlppl3407]

Can we get interviewers to study from this guy? Where has respect through creativity and intelligence gone?!

Cus d was a father to mike..he took Tyson in like his own son and paved the way for greatness.

He is and always will be the best in my eyes. He overcame so much. No frills, no showboating, no bright boxing shorts or loud distracting entrance music. Just a legend getting the job done. I think Cus needed Mike as much as Mike needed Cus. Fate brought them together. It was kismet.
