Coming from a world of negativity and suffering Cus’ TAUGHT Mike what love even was he loved him and showed him love on such a genuine level you can tell that he was the first person to ever introduce it to him.
B-Rai87 it’s not only that, when you lose your parents and this person comes into your life like an angel it’s like you’re being given a second chance at a good life. If that angel is all of the sudden ripped away, it’s even more devastating because it’s like you’re being told that you’re not meant to be cared for.
when the "baddest man on the planet" starts struggling to hold it in and his voice squeaks to a whisper & he can barely speak about his teacher, you can understand how much Cus meant to Mike.
Mike's emotions reminds me of how I feel about my Dad. He died when I was young and I still at 55 miss him to this day, I cry every time I think of him. I will never be half the man my Dad was. RIP Robert Hopkins!!!!!
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%.
he whispered it cause hes getting choked up its when you wanna cry the words just are hard to come out. shows how much cus d'amato meant to him and what did for him.
Cus gave him fatherly love. We feared our fathers, we respected our fathers, we loved our fathers. Fathers are hard on their sons because they they care and want their sons to be better than them.
@@jaybo516 Same. I have three boys and I feel like crap after I dig into one of them for doing something they know better about but then I have to remind myself that no one else is going to do it if I don't. The older I get, the more my father I become. Happy Father's day and cherish the time while you have it.
When Mike wondered how Cus knew he could be a world champion, it struck me that Cus might have been the first person to really believe in him. To tell him that he could do it, he could be the world's best, he could chase his dreams. It's touching to see that Mike has so much love and respect for his trainer.
Well yeah, his biological father ditched him, his stepfather ditched him, the school he was sent to for troubled youths also didn't think much of him. Cus was the only one that took him in and believed in him.
And many parents do not give that to their children which leads to many talents being unrecognized. Thats why sport in a team is so good, there is someone that encourages you and your talents and i believe everyone has a talent in some way.
Its not that Cus was a magical seer, its that he had an insane amount of emotional intelligence and he knew how to handle a "troubled" kid like young Mike, by giving him a purpose.
" it takes more than that to be a fighter" The way he could barely get the words out.. that is purest emotions right there. Could feel my throat tightning.
Tyson lost 2 of the people that kept him on track. If not for that I truly believe he would never have gone to prison, or started abusing drugs so heavily, or started training poorly. And who knows how his boxing would have continued if he didn't fall down the wrong path. He may have stayed undefeated for his entire career.
Cus died more than 35 years ago, and if you didn’t know that, by hearing Mike talk, you’d think that Cus died just a few weeks ago. He still misses him incredibly
Cus took in a young kid and trained him to be one of, if not THE, best fighter the world has ever seen. Imagine how that feels as the person he helped. My god.
@@decoyheartt Mike was in really good physical shape at like 14/15yrs old. He looked much older than he was. So much so that in one of his interviews Teddy Atlas admitted that they lied about his age to get him fights with older fighters. That part of the reason for why he became one of the youngest heavyweight champions ever.
"How did he know I was the one? "He didn't Mike. It was a leap of faith. You honored him. Gave him a reason to live on and see you becoming world champion. You didn't let him down one bit.
Probably because he was an experienced trainer and he saw the best raw talent he'd ever seen. That's like asking Bill Belichick how he knew Tom Brady would be the one
@@James-sh2zd Again, there's tons of uniquely talented individuals who never make it to the top. It's not enough. When it comes to truly accomplished elite athletes there's something else there. Some fire inside them, an obsession bordering to insanity. An obsession to be the best. Those are the ones who makes it to the top and stays there.
Unfortunately Cus died about a year before Mike Tyson became the youngest Heavyweight Champion of the World.. It's sad he never got to see Mike Tyson become the Champ but Cus definitely knew it was going to happen.
Cus instilled something in Mike at 15 that it takes most men a lifetime to grasp. Through his philosophy and discipline Cus imprinted all his knowledge onto a lost young boy and left before Mike even understood what cus had really given him. I think it really hits him now, that’s why he gets so emotional every time he speaks of Cus
Very true, because the reflection at a certain age allows us to realize the genius, the genuine kindness yet still with strict and brute discipline they offered us to follow and yet sadly it is too late to say thank you into their face. I experienced it and I would give so much to say thank you to my mentor. That is the biggest pain Mike enocunters and many others who understand truly now.
You are so wise with your words ... He definitely misses him ... His guidance , his wisdom ... I'm sure Mike Tyson loved cus like some one loves their father 😭 For the first time in my life .. I'm teary eyes while writing a comment .
Yes, sometimes we need a little more time to understand what he really wanted to convey and give us a person who by the moment of realization may no longer be with us. It hurts. This is life. But better late than never.
👍 Yes deep down in side Mike's a little puppy 🐶 dog with a great heart he just had to protect his self and his heart because there's some heartless ❤ 💙 people out here they we'll try you if you let them stand up for yourselves at all times if not you will definitely lose you mind to someone who doesn't deserve it, piece and love 💘 God Bless 🙏 everyone and be safe
Crying is healthy too from releasing stressed and crying means you are still sane in mind and heart, cus make Tyson a smart human being, until cus death.. Mike downfall was saddening but he became wise
Fr fr! Majority of the world’s population would not be able to survive Mike Tyson’s life. He has to be the only person on the planet, where majority of the world population forgave the indiscretion he did when he was young.
It’s not that he didn’t want Mike to cry, it’s that he didn’t want anyone to see Mike cry. He wanted the world to view Mike as he did, unbreakable/invincible. He didn’t want the world to see any weakness of Mike. He wanted to instill unwavering confidence.
100% the biggest question anyone asks themselves is that. People always see what we can't. Cus had the ability even if Mike didnt believe to show him he was. Still you see the bewilderment in the face of Tyson even after he became the champ.
I can really feel Mike's pain. I had the same father son relationship with my late pastor. You made me the man I am and I get choked up whenever I talk about what he did for me.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 yea but he didn't have that stamina...like i said i love Tyson but he stood no shot againts holyfield before or after jail..He just didn't match up..kind like frazier Foreman.

Evander was not a big guy, so he bulked up to fight in the heavyweight division... mike gave up in their second fight and the 1st fight Holyfield kept butting. Nobody can challenge Tyson in his prime... sorry bro
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.
When you look at the merciless force of malevolence that Mike Tyson once was, and then you see his total honesty, his humility when talking about fighters today or his personal flaws and limits, his reverence for Cus and Ali, the way he lives now always looking to be a better more complete man, it's hard to escape that somewhere along the way Mike Tyson has become one of the greatest success stories of inner transformation we have ever seen.
If only half the world could have the wisdom, ability to self reflect, and find true self peace like this amazing human! Love you mike. The world is a much better place with people like you around.
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.
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.
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.
💯 Cus taught him to fight, but he gave him love like a father if not a father…. And every son loves or idols their father! Mike said that if somebody talked negative about him and Cus was there, Cus would beat and punch him! That what a father is supposed to do!!! If only Cus lived a few years longer!!!
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.
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.
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.
@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.
"It takes more than that to be a fighter" That quote should be right up there with the greatest quotes of all time. Love....pure love. Plain and simple. The one thing that binds is all.
I believe that Cus came into Mike's life with a purpose. The purpose to have a young man, who was struggling in life to be the man he is today. For, his dream was to become the heavyweight champ, but the long term goal was for Mike to tell us the wrongs and rights, carry the knowledge that Cus gave to him. And most importantly, be independent of Cus. The beauty of Mike's story can make a man cry.
I love Mike man. This guy has so much heart but it's the hardest thing in the world for him to show. As scary as it becomes sometimes he is so passionate about the ones he cares about.
Cus was like a father to Mike. You can see him regress to the thought processes of his youth. You can feel that there is so so much that Mike wanted to say to his old man.
Met Tyson at the Boxing Hall of Fame 3yrs in a row and every year he was so gracious and loyal his fans ,so humble!! He is do muvh more than a champion, he's a beautiful human thats more important than a trophy 🥊👑✌❤🌎🇺🇸
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!
Mike is the true world example of a man who changed for the better. Understands his past has accepted it and just wants to make his kids happy. He has grown as a man in strength and wisdom of the mind and spirit. Cus would be proud of you Mike. Never forget that.
@@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.
I know exactly what he feels. When you love your father and you fear him but you would kill for him. I felt this to my heart real as it gets love is power man
This really shows that Cus saved him mentally and spiritually, he never believed he could achieve anything before, and then he met Cus and his life changed forever.

You got to show a lot of respect to Mike for recognizing and honoring the memory of Cus
Because Mike was loved by Cus
Cus was like a father figure to Mike so I can’t imagine how that feels when he’s gone.
Cus was the only person that loved him
Guys Cus wasn't like a father for Mike. He was actually his legal father when real Mike's father passed away
Coming from a world of negativity and suffering Cus’ TAUGHT Mike what love even was he loved him and showed him love on such a genuine level you can tell that he was the first person to ever introduce it to him.
When he whispers it takes more than that to be a fighter.... Jesus.
Ya i felt it too. 😢
i feel ya bro. that hit different.
I felt it too
I honestly teared up a little because I felt that.
Not really whispering it’s just talking and holding your tears back really hard. I talk like that when i talk about my grandpa too

Besides the part that Mike said it is almost an exact Jordan Peterson quote...
Sometimes it only takes one person to believe in you.
Mike Tyson is the only person that still looks tough while crying.
True but his chilling "shark eyes" fade and for a moment and we get to see how human he is. A broken man with a beautiful soul.
It makes me cry when he let's his emotions show. Hes been through so much
And real..
Cus mean't everything to Mike.. Mike didn't have a mom or a dad. When you lose that man. It hurts.. deeply..
B-Rai87 it’s not only that, when you lose your parents and this person comes into your life like an angel it’s like you’re being given a second chance at a good life.

Cuss was a dad to him
He probably didnt know how much he was gonna be hurting...
He had a mother but she passed away so thats when Cus adopted him.
Cus was actually his legal father
when the "baddest man on the planet" starts struggling to hold it in and his voice squeaks to a whisper & he can barely speak about his teacher, you can understand how much Cus meant to Mike.
It actually takes more strength to show emotion infront of other people, let alone on TV.

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.
The impact that one human can have on another human is an amazing thing. I know it's been well documented, but that man clearly saved his life.
When you look at the merciless force of malevolence that Mike Tyson once was, and then you see his total honesty, his humility when talking about fighters today or his personal flaws and limits, his reverence for Cus and Ali, the way he lives now always looking to be a better more complete man, it's hard to escape that somewhere along the way Mike Tyson has become one of the greatest success stories of inner transformation we have ever seen.
Well said
I couldn't agree more
Real good character development
100 percent
Well said!!! very inspiring!!!
" it takes more that to be a fighter " ....sooo deep
That line (and his strained tone) got to me.
Everyone he beat down was a specimen too.
"It takes more than that to be a fighter", makes me proud to hear him say that.
Talent is not everything. A will of iron.
If only half the world could have the wisdom, ability to self reflect, and find true self peace like this amazing human!
Love you mike.
The world is a much better place with people like you around.
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.
"It takes more than that to be a fighter" he whispers... fucking chills over my spine dude
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.
To think about it, Cus really did save Mike’s life and he’s like a real father to him like he never had. RIP
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.
Tough , Yes . Fighter ,yes. Emotional, very ! Tender, Absolutely ‼️🤗 for Mike Tyson.
bro when Mike cries every man cries.
I think Mike feels like Cus was the first person he felt actually loved him. Cus was his father he loved and respected him.
💯 Cus taught him to fight, but he gave him love like a father if not a father…. And every son loves or idols their father! Mike said that if somebody talked negative about him and Cus was there, Cus would beat and punch him! That what a father is supposed to do!!! If only Cus lived a few years longer!!!
And he also said cus never wanted no money from him or nothing mike said he never met someone like that
When Tyson get's his Godfather voice you know it's getting emotional.
God bless Cus D'Amato. What he did with Mike Tyson was beyond immeasurable
Thats a love, a bond and a friendship that lasted far beyond death
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.
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.
You were a specimen IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT TO BE A FIGHTER Tyson is real man
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.
It shows the power/impact and importance a man/ father has on a young man's life.
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.
It not about colour it about heart
What's black and white?
@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.
@Hugo You're right.
Who gives a potato shit fuck what the skin colors are??
"It takes more than that to be a fighter" DAMN RIGHT
This is the First time I See Mike Crying.. 😔
Rest In Peace Cus 🙏
"It takes more than that to be a fighter"
That quote should be right up there with the greatest quotes of all time. Love....pure love. Plain and simple. The one thing that binds is all.
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!
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
The respect and the devotion he has for Cus D'Amato is extraordinary.
The way Tyson breaks down when it comes to talking about his trainer/father figure genuinely brings a tear to the eye.
2 times I have seen Mike cry in public and it was over his father figure, Cus, and his legend, Ali. Both tremendous people.
Man who is cutting onions in here
Lol
Damn those onions
I just built my own river
You can feel just how much Mike loved and respected Cus. The raw emotion of that loss is all over him. Cus was obviously everything to Mike!
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.
You can tell that Cus was more of a father to him than anyone
“ How did he know that I was the one? “ Gives me goosebumps every time
I believe that Cus came into Mike's life with a purpose. The purpose to have a young man, who was struggling in life to be the man he is today. For, his dream was to become the heavyweight champ, but the long term goal was for Mike to tell us the wrongs and rights, carry the knowledge that Cus gave to him. And most importantly, be independent of Cus. The beauty of Mike's story can make a man cry.
This is so heartwarming. Mike should be very proud what he achieved. God bless.
What a difference a strong father can make in a young man’s life.
Thanks for being the father he needed cuss.
Sometimes we all need a hug.. even the greatest fighter of all time... We love ya Mike..
its the love he see and he understands you as a person mike !
Discipline is doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it
I love Mike man. This guy has so much heart but it's the hardest thing in the world for him to show. As scary as it becomes sometimes he is so passionate about the ones he cares about.
Cus was like a father to Mike. You can see him regress to the thought processes of his youth. You can feel that there is so so much that Mike wanted to say to his old man.
Mike is so raw and real...its impossible not to like him.
Met Tyson at the Boxing Hall of Fame 3yrs in a row and every year he was so gracious and loyal his fans ,so humble!! He is do muvh more than a champion, he's a beautiful human thats more important than a trophy 🥊👑✌❤🌎🇺🇸
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!
It’s crazy how after every word you can hear the exhale of a faint breath… you can feel the hurt in Mike’s heart
The father that choose you, and the love that was built with sweat and blood.
Such a emotional and sensitive soul,a great man.
Mike is the true world example of a man who changed for the better. Understands his past has accepted it and just wants to make his kids happy. He has grown as a man in strength and wisdom of the mind and spirit. Cus would be proud of you Mike. Never forget that.
If Cus had lived longer than thinking that Mike Tyson’s record will be 100-0 would not been wrong
holyfield still beats him though
Chris Brown Tyson with a will...I personally don’t think so
@@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.
Chris Brown you’re absolutly right...It’s impossible to think about a fight between prime Tyson and Holyfield because they didn’t fought
@@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.
There is no boxer like Mike ! He is IRON MIKE !✊ Lots of respect to Mike !!!
I know exactly what he feels. When you love your father and you fear him but you would kill for him. I felt this to my heart real as it gets love is power man
One of the most emotional video I ever seen😓R.I.P Mr. D.Amato🙌🏽
This really shows that Cus saved him mentally and spiritually, he never believed he could achieve anything before, and then he met Cus and his life changed forever.
Fabulous to see how Mike talks about and honours the great Cus.Fabulous relationship those two had.
