When Cus said "Mike gave me the reason to stay alive, it's because of him I'm still alive". Those are some very powerful words coming from a person you love and respect. When he said that in front of Mike it gave him the type of energy and happiness that is very rare to most people. This man loved Mike because everything that he did for him he didn't have to. Now I see why Mike In His prime fought the way he did. It wasn't skill, it wasn't speed or power. It was for the love of Cus. To make him proud of him. Rest in Peace Cus!

[@sportstalkwithzo3707]

Bro that be my main argument or point when i speak of Tyson, Tyson fought for Cus and trusted and was willing to die if cus told him he has to die in this fight, mike whole goal was to please Cus but Cus always let him know everything can always be done better which made mike want to please him more and more, getting your dad approval means so much to a kid, think about barry Sanders father who told him as a kid the greatest rbs ever was jim Brown walter Payton so since a kid barry played for his dad approval and during barry HOF ENSHRINEMENT barry father introduced him as the 3rd greatest rb of all time so imagine how he felt, a man instilling confidence in a boy is the difference between good and great imo and also this is why i say Tyson is the greatest warrior with cus by his side training his mind body and soul

[@ethericboy]

Mike did"nt "Just become a champ from the love and respect from Cus" but it was a part of it because tyson DID have speed and power and on his way up to the top certain opponents were genuinely shaken by Mike"s punches with one admitting shocked to the Media that "I"ve never been hit SO hard in my whole life" because nobody lives or should try to live their life for somebody else,you live your life for YOU. Cus was a wisee and goodhearted man who loved Mike and saw the potential and talent in him so he took it upon himsself to complete one last good selfless act of kindness in his old life,and that was to use the last of his energy to do just that and Mike gave him the motivve to hang on for just that much longer because he was getting old,and certainly became older than I"ll ever be or even want to be.And as for the term "Rest in peace" it never made any sense to me;I don"t believe that because exactly what IS it that rests? Your consciousness continues in a different kind of existence and the stuff of your body goes back to the Earth we "Borrowed" it from,something that continues through your whole life with portions of your image constantly crumbling and falling away and is replenished at the same time;so the body you had fex ten years ago is quite literally DEAD and completely replaced with new cells and there is in fact not one single Atom left of those you had back then.Did you ever think of that? I"m 50+ so I"ve gone through a handfull of them already

Great words, Leena. I would add I think Mike never did face his demons in the ring. That’s why each time he faced true adversity in the ring, he failed. He collapsed, ran, didn’t face his demons. I believe he has now though. He seems so much at peace today, spiritually balanced, mentally lucid. I can only hope he begins coaching, passing on his learnings to the next generation. Wouldn’t that be something. Wouldn’t that be a denouement worthy of a legend.

Cus had a lot of help too. It wasn’t all Cus. Cus was a genius when it came to the psychie of a man, especially a man who wanted to become a fighter. He was old school, had street smarts, and an infinite amount of wisdom. And he saw something in Teddy Atlas, just like he saw something in Tyson. Teddy and Cus were on another planet when it came to boxing and what it took for a man to be successful in the sport. Listening to those to talk, about boxing, about life, about anything, was the best education a man could get. And it was free, and to say it was captivating is an extreme understatement.

Great comment brother. I hope Tyson truly finds Christ because he did have him in him for a while it seemed, he was such a good and decent young man before he was torn down. Unfortunately Tyson doesn't even know the Bible well at all even though he is well read in so many other areas.

Vyrisus lets be real though, this was unfortunate. Though in Mikes reality of this Father figure replacement and how childlike he was (reflective of high functioning autism, his eye movement, his exreme dedication in the early periods, the idiolising etc). Plus you realise the ridiculous fundemental change he went through that essentially transitioned him from an all round fighter implementing the cus damato style like no one has ever done before or after to then being a brawler 7months after the spinks fight. It is not hard to see the major difference from the opening bell in the tyson that fought Bruno in 89 and beyond vs the cus d'amato/rooney tyson that fought in 88 87 86 etc. It is kinda funny actually when you look at it. The way he'd just put two gloves over his chin and walk to then take punishement from jabs watching his fore-head snap back constantly then throw lazy power hooks. Tbh many fighters like Holmes even Ribalta ffs expressed they could bring down that immobile stationary Tyson from 89+. And this is bearing in mind that Holmes (though older) could barely land on tyson during the entire fight he had vs the cus tyson. In fact the only significant punch he landed was a flush counter that came in, that pretty much did nothing becuase it was the first considerable landed shot. Then we take into account a way older larry goes the full distance with a prime holyfield and lands well though ofcorse loses UD. He's more famous for his fall and fundemental change.

[@patricaoreilly2143]

What a moving & emotional human video. 2 great people. Meant to meet each other in life. Tyson the world loves you. 🙏 as a fighter & human being.

Mike Tyson reminds me a lot of Elvis. First, they both became super stars when they were still in their teens. Elvis was 19 when he hit it big. And like Elvis, Tyson didn't really have a chance to develop as an adult. He was always protected by his guys, the Memphis Mafia, and spoiled by his mother. With Mike, he grew up in the streets, and never learned anything but how to knock people out, albeit by a master. I am only glad to see him grow into a man-intelligent, wise, and humble, a tribute to everything good and noble in life, passed on to him by one of the greatest trainers of all time. This story had a happy ending.

[@carlosaguilar-ik8uy]

"If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be alive" Dam!!! Exactly how I feel about my children!! Mad LOVE!!

[@df4480]

You can tell Mike just wanted someone to love him. He found that love in a elderly man. Two different race and culture, yet they didn’t let that separate their bond of love and trust. Money can’t buy happiness...

[@Inagole4233]

Who doesn’t want love?strange,,,

[@emilasanovski6237]

The best sport documentary of LIFE...

[@Sultan-lv8sj]

Damn now I know why people keep bringing his prime when talking about fighting. Bad influences really fucked this man up. Glad that he eventually found peace.

[@doja954]

Yep he was already fucked up and saved by cus. So the bad influences open that door again. Even worse cause he was Rich now.

[@Reemabeema215]

The black man was plotting instead of building smh it be your own people out to get you cus was the better man than Don King using asss will ever be he quick to used our culture but won’t used a Mexican because in the 90s they would fuck his ass up and sock it to him Just saying Mexicans stick together when it comes to they land and family 💯

[@jaytizzle6652]

Give a young man direction and guidence is a very positive gift to the world. Cus would be so proud of Mike today. Mike Tyson is my hero because of the humble man he has become.

[@pandoblier]

A really god fanmade Docu, made with Love. Cool Footage, cool Cut, cool Soundtrack and other effects. This one could run in TV.

Cus D'Amato is wonderful Man have my respect

[@yourboytg5318]

Cus d'Amato is a legend those lessons that he taught every man should listen to

[@knuckletherapyserveothersf6092]

What an amazing story. Sad that there was a lot of people that took advantage of him . But still became victorious . Now we know why he was so mad all the time. Anybody would be pissed off if that happened to them . He may have fought godlike but the man is a human being. He will always be a champ in my eyes because of everything he has gone through he still gets up to go another round. Much love Mike .. Thank you for the inspiration and entertaining us fans.

[@yonkani17]

Watching in 2020. Amazing documentary! Amazing to see what having a good mentor can do for you and how fast bad influences can destroy your life. RIP Cus d'Amato, great trainer, mentor and overall person. Tyson in my opinion will always be the best fighter ever. I'm glad he has been able to rebuild his life and I can't wait to see him get back in the ring for charity.

[@SwordOfS]

Cus and Mike, what a duo ! They took on the world and won.

[@niteeshkumar599]

Definitely the biopic of mike tyson should be made His story is wonderful everyone should know .

[@charlenelee8641]

Remarkable man and made one of the greatest athletes to ever live infact more than one and maybe many more we don't know about outside of the lime light. Thankyou cus for your kind loving soul to have walked this earth as a beacon for the less fortunate. Your truly honoured.

[@papabearmac1151]

Can't believe im crying. This is so touching, so moving, its heart, its soul, its pure, its absolutely unconditional love. #D'AmatoTyson4life

[@SquillyMon]

Man...That Berbick beating is simply unforgettable.

[@IshakIRG]

Cus ismy hero!!!!! He is a real superman!!!

[@aubreywhaley7729]

Those are some of the deepest words of selflessness I've ever heard, I'll die once you become Champion. That's a Father

[@LilacMist]

This is a very beautiful video, it talks about loyalty, trust, belief, values, direction, impact, principles, love, respect, emotions, character, lessons learnt etc. Mike was just a guy who was misled, the aggression wasn’t him at all it was a buildup of emotions over time and his life was spiraling downhill. This goes to show that the people you meet along the way is important because they can either make you or break you. I cried for this video because I felt it deep, my only regret is for Cus to leave so soon without witnessing his boy make it as the greatest like he knew he would. Cus is a great mentor and father figure, if he hadn’t taken Mike in then we wouldn’t have our champ today. Thank you for this video I appreciate it because it was definitely emotional, heartwarming and inspirational. ❤️❤️❤️

[@felixkuriaunage4283]

Cus is a great mentor , father and more than words can expressed.

[@flex2125]

This is truly amazing documentary. Shows the greatness of a true mentor (cus) and the greatness of being taught by someone so vulnerable and willing to be teached (mike). There was nothing that could stop them!

[@Ddd-rm9hm]

Best video ever men a im big mike tyson fan and of cus d’amato. This if gold 🥊👑

[@kristianfeel-good936]

Big respect for this video. Mike is a true champion and without Cuz and team, he would’ve been another statistic. Life always has a way to teach us of the true values in life, and the life of Mike Tyson is inspiring to say the least. 👊🏼

[@davidlambert6171]

If Cus was alive during Tyson’s career, Mike would be undefeated and a much happier man!

[@CameornMatlock-sw5bc]

Exactly

[@BklynE12]

It's hard not to get that lump in your throat when you hear Tyson talk about the great Cus D'amato

[@themarvelousvintage76]

What a wonderful story......... thank you Cus D' d'amato to made a such of great champion :)

[@VolatileDisposition]

this is a brilliant but tragic story. it's the rise and fall of a champion. Mike had the good fortune to be discovered by Cus, but mike as a perfect freak of nature with an ability no heavyweight had or may have--he was super fast for a heavyweight, and every punch he threw was explosive. moreover, he was TRULY unique in being able to actually hit as hard with right or left hands. he was short, but as a result, compensated by lunging into each punch. also due to height disadvantage, always immediately fighting inside--he was like fly paper. all over his opponent from the bell. he never stepped back. there is NO QUESTION he will be the most unique heavyweight of our time or for all time. he really studied all the greats and put the best techniques together with his own flair--all that said, he would've never gotten that far or that high without the TECHNIQUES taught to him by Cus, Rooney and Atlas. equally Jim Jacobs. he had a great team and no man is that great on his own. and he proved that by losing speed and conditioning and all the infamous head movement once he separated from them. sadly, it was that same team that tried to protect him from bad decisions OUTSIDE the ring, but once he got the belts, he screwed them and himself. that really is the bottom line. Fortunately, everyone remembers his greatness in the 80s and he's still popular so has had some new opportunities in films and video games. nothing compared to the 300 million he blew but at least he seems very happy today as a family man and a vegan vegetarian. his book and show 'the undisputed truth' is authentic and raw. mike also has a foundation to help inner city kids. i think there are still great days ahead for Mike now, he had to lose everything, but we all do sometimes in our own way to become better. either way, Mike Tyson will always be synonymous with controversy but will be no less a LEGEND.

[@makunouchiippo816]

Chill.

[@thegianttroll2423]

Mike said in a interview He wasn't into boxing Cus got him into it

[@EDskywalker9966]

well said bro!!! #truth

[@emeraldeye8581]

I dont think he was a perfect freak of nature, he was i think almost perfectly nurtured

[@sikijkarki8975]

TL;DR

[@sparklemonkey11]

Excellent documentary. What i learned is the tremendous good one person can do through love.

[@juriziegltrum8019]

Never habe i ever cried so much watching a Biografie. Cus is from now on my biggest idol 🙏🏽❤️ what a Great Father

[@Pwnetizator]

When i watch this video , around 13-14min i can't stand it because when i see Robin Givens and her mother i know what happens next and i feel bad for Mike ... His life could've been so much different.. I don't speak just about his career but about his personal life aswell. I just can't find an answer to this question . Did Team Tyson try to speak to him after 1989 to return to them , or maybe after prison 1995? What did he say , what was his answer. Or maybe did he consider returning to them at any point in his career? To this day i think a mentally healthy Mike under Rooney could beat Holyfield and Lewis in their fights..

[@user-ht4kd6dc7s]

So, so touching, I cried all the time. Character, Determination, keeping Principles. So gifted people,so kind, so precious. Invaluable. They have the true mankind. Cus D'amato team, love you so much. You all will always be remembered. This November will be the 30th Mike's first world title anniversary, happy to be here to live it : )

[@SC-mn4kz]

[@mylord4194]

Absolutely amazing! Love Mike and Mr Cus

Only when it's dark enough can you see the bright stars. This phrase conveys the idea that challenges and hardships often reveal hidden beauty or opportunities. It's a powerful reminder to stay hopeful even in tough times!

[@Skateb0rder1]

Im sure we all personally know a "don king" & "robin givens " in our lives. We need to get rid of those negative people. We all have some Mike in us.

Wow, what a great story; thank God for men like Cus, & his protégé, Mike Tyson, & all of Team Tyson...what a story....if it hadn't of happened & someone tried to write a story like this, no one would have believed it---like the saying goes, sometimes truth is crazier than fiction, and more unbelievable, too!!

[@MrG77]

What a talent Mike was. His ability to get under the jab and twist then counter with a devastating left hook that sent them flying across the ring. A joy to watch. Cuz would have been so proud Mike.🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Rezah6]

Cus definitely the greatest coach and humanitarian. Much respect. And respect to Tyson as well for the respect he gave Cus. What a relationship. RIP Cus.

[@bmore1791]

Man makes me wanna tear up when the guy said he just cried on his shoulder. I have been that hopeless before where you would just want someone to listen and talk to.
