What Mike Tyson would ask Cus D’Amato right now 🕊🥊 

🖤💯

Spot on!!

💪👍💪

Cus was definitely like a father to him. And he died before Mike could make him proud. “How did I do?” The words of a man who will die with the regret of not knowing the answer. It reminds me of the movie Saving Private Ryan. Where Ryan as an old man visits the graves of the men who died to saved him. And asked of those who can never answer: “Am I a good person? Did I make it count? Did I earn your sacrifice? Did I do right by you?” Powerful.

He was also sad because he said Cus didn’t teach him how to turn off his monster. That’s how he kind of went off the deep end for a while.

Hi cus

That's what I said with my eyes closed with 3s around my human vision

I don’t think that’s what cus would say

@@leftythelegendlovesjesus1426 this isn’t a kitchen. You’re dismissed.

"You fked up a bunch of times kid but you're in a better place now"

That's true

No he’s not mike tysons heart is strong like steel as well

@@omarsoliman7421 no he has a good heart

@@mikegreen5502 yeah NOW he does

@@omarsoliman7421 😂

Indeed... Cus was like a Father to him.. he was everything...

I cried with my father he is 70

That part exactly!! That's what I always say about my grandfather who passed away 5 years ago next month. "He was everything," is the simplest way to describe the most important influence in your life. And you never stop missing them ❤

Brokes my hear?

Well it shouldn’t because if you are ass cancer and were dying Tyson wouldn’t give a fuck about you 😂😂😂

Never got the approval

Word. My eyes teared up when he said that.

That's his dad. All he wants is for him to be proud of him and I'm sure he is.

For real!

It did, it really did! As soon as I watched this I jumped right to the comments to see if this hit anyone else in that way!!!

Right!!!! That line Hit like a ton of bricks!!

this comment j made me think of me asking my grandma this 😕

I don’t feel I have enough experience to ask anyone this question. I’m 17 btw turn 18 in March

Hit diff

🙏🏽💯

Way more, he had nobody and Cus came into his life ❤.

He was everything to him

I never asked that question to my Dad and I think it's safe to assume that the millions of children who don't have dads in their lives never did either

He still wanted the affirmation even though it was there when Cus died.

@@beelzebootthecanadiandevil9600 if he was in your life you would his loss though such a shame

Indeed mate

@@nba2kaii12 Maybe. Cus was a great man and a hell of a coach.

On god

It did 🤔 hard 🐂

Fuckin oath it did

So hard!!

Absolutely.

Same man 🥲

Not alone..m2

me too bro. And I don't get like that......

Yep

It got me too I don't know why (tears dropped as soon I started typing) I don't know why either, guess I can relate to just wanting to know if I did ok in the eyes of the 1s in my heart

And it was all withing a matter of like 1 or 2 seconds

L Have a good time

Damn that's heavy.

I felt tears welling up in eyes

@@oohitsblaise what😂😂

Absolutely

"He's my boy, he's with me." Those words from Cus meant the world to him.

Another similar one is Ian wright and his school teacher Mr.Pigden.

Agreed

Amen!!!

wow

He was probably like a father figure to Mike.

@@BabyDontHearnMeNoMore probably nah that was Mike’s father

@@dstov9544 well I guess you’re not really wrong

His instincts told him right away to ask "how'd I do?"

Only man that ever loved him in a life filled with hate and violence

Same.

Really. I shed a tear instantly.

Facts!!

Facts it did 🥺😢😢

Way too relatable

You could say Cus is his dad

@lultato yup

Cus was that parent

That dude raised Tyson he was definitely his family

I saw that clip it's very imotional

It's about his whole life not only boxing This had me thinking my whole life

He got bigger then the game

I see sadness in his eyes ...

@@lynnfirth345 The first person he felt showed him genuine love and believed in him died when he needed him most. Of course theirs pain when talking about Cus.

Never get to see why people write "How'd I do" instead of "how did I do" even when is being written right there in the middle of the screen lol

Awh..

@@erickalvarez6486 you're on angry cvnt

🥺😪

@@erickalvarez6486 how'd means how did, tf u on about lol

Mike actually became very wise.

In some ways he needed to experience Cus passing to become the person he is today. Everyone's journey has a detour or two.

He told Mike whatever he never had. He physiologically filled that void therefore he could focus on becoming the greatest fighter in the world.

Cus saying that hit So HARD in the feels...😥

Best statement of love I ever heard...

and sadly Constantin d Amato dead , and Mike Tyson needed im the most

@@Mario-to6tlhe still lives through tysons heart ❤️‍🔥

he really did care deeply. but lets be honest, its because Mike had the potential to be the best ever

@@JohnDoe-ly6bt All Tyson entourage knew his potential, but Only Cus loved him as a father. The proof is when only with Cus was dead, Don King could take over to screw Mike.

@@JohnDoe-ly6btPlease don’t do this, If it wasn’t for Cus There would be no Mike Tyson that we know of. Dude took him in when he was struggling as a child when everyone else abandoned him.

Idk as I’ve been watching mike in interviews over the years, he’s pretty quick witted on a lot of complex topics.

@@stillmatic03 because he’s always thinking about them

@@phantom8699 it hurts him that Cus didnt get to see his redemption

@@fitawrarifitness6842 it’s so sad but cus had a great life and he knew the second he met Mike that he would redeem himself

@@fitawrarifitness6842 he didnt see his downfall either

That's what my mom told me, "it's ok to cry". I lost her this year and she told me that a few months before she passed. That statement will forever live in me.

@@stephenlathrop4908 Sorry for your lost Stephen..

@@stephenlathrop4908 But don't do it in front of anybody. That's what my mom would have told me.

Cuss taught Mike that he didn't like it when he howed his emotions.

Every f****** time

Proof that dangerous disciplined men are good for society 🙏🏾 weak men cause strong problems

Same thing man you can feel he’s hurt inside cus was like a father brother trainer to mike Tyson you can see cus was the only opinion that matter to mike Tyson

Facts bro...shit be having me in tears 😅...I be tryin man up and hold that shit in 😅..1 tear always fall tho 😂😂😂😂😂..it be his pauses then his answers and how his voice change to pain

What would be really something would be to read the email he got back from Cus. I bet he would feel responsible for all the bad things that happened to Mike as a result of his passing. Mike could have so easily become an animal in a cage awaiting a death sentence for horrific crimes he was on a course to commit. Today, scars and all, he is a good person inside. I think Cus is proud of Mike, but should remember he would never have got there without a tremendous amount of love and help. That is on Cus. Mike was still a work in progress as a person and as a boxer when Cus passed, but Mike is finishing the rest himself. And he still became the youngest Heavyweight Champ ever, even if it didn't have a perfect storybook ending.

Ik

Truly. Love you Mike thanks for being a good example, you went through hell n back to get where you are but hey man you turned it all around, thanks for being a genuine human being!!! One Love brother!!!

He has been through hell. His daughter was killed and he broke down. I remember when he lived here in AZ when I was "active".

He is a living legend I'm glad I get to say I was alive when Mike was

You are very wise

I've been saying he reminds me of a shoalin warrior monk. Very philosophical, but at the same time is a trained warrior. Warrior Monk.

Sup😎🤙🏼 OddBawZ

I keep coming back to Tysons video's. They inspire me and I think its the same for you since I see you comment on these clips aswell. 😉

War funda

After tyson said "how did I do" Tyson should've added "outside of the ring"...

Would love to see the whole interviews.

Frrrrr

He has a pure soul bro.. Made me proud to say my favorite fighter

Felt like an animation line

I cried.

And you gotta realize what that question means. Cus was Mike's light and he was his father. Mike always wanted to make him proud and history is a bitch for the timing of Cus leaving this world. He is looking down on Mike without a doubt

Amen, and Mike and Cus will meet again.

You can be any age brother

I am 500 th like on your comment I am 52 and that's exactly what I would of said beautiful isn't.

Me too bro. I'm 40

It’s the violins lol

I noticed that too, good spot

I thought the same.

I noticed that too

Exactly

Same here...I'm in disbelief

😢me too it took me off guard for sure

He has a lot of videos that would make you cry

Dudes honestly deep

He got me too

Who is cus

@@Ria_2025 Cus was pretty much his adoptive dad, but he was also a renowned boxing trainer. He remained the father figure in his life and the only person who ever cared about and believed in Tyson in his formative years. Their whole connection was like destiny.

Cus Dimato.

Cus D'Amato

Gustavo fring

😢me too I ain’t gone lie it took me off guard 🤷

💯

Same here

Same, bro. Same. Especially now that Tyson has more love in his heart. It’s a beautiful thing to see

bro song name

@@subahnulegendsharma8017 lovely by Khalid and billy eilish

Rip bother, rest up & fly high Cus!

He is the johnny sins of boxing (copied)

FGV

Im a pure sociopath, diagnosis APD at the highest levels. Mike in these mindsets is on a very short list of people/things that can make me feel emotions. Its something special when a man that dangerous and revered shows emotion like this.

@@nuck- dude stfu. You clearly do not understand how sociopaths mind works and just talk garbage there.

@@nuck- doesnt that mean that you arent one? just being curious

@@jason5737 im guessing there are stages to it

@@jason5737 Little more complicated, more so psychopaths cannot feel/identify emotions. People with functioning APD/sociopathy are different.

The opportunity to find someone able to bring upper than everything you ever thought you can reach, someone who's not of your blood but act closer than a brother, a sister or a parent. This kind of opportunity comes only once in a lifetime. Rest In Power, mister D'Amato. You raised on of the greatest fighters who ever lived on this earth. Respect to you, Iron Mike. Respect.

That was essentially his dad

Cus was his father, coach, mentor and bestfriend. That's why when Cus passed, everything really went down for him.

Cus was a real Father to Mike Tyson...the only man that didnt hurt or take advantage of him.....

I second that

. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4G6e4TaJxkI.html

mellowing to the wisest.. agree with you

Yessir the first words was going to be that

He’s been waiting for approval. We never want to let our peers/mentors down.

How can a "simple" boxer answer like that? Mike was and is still is so much more than a boxer. Cus was his father figure and Mike was his son. Still looking for his approvel and respect. Beautiful if you asked me.

Cus was more of a father to Mike than anyone else ever was. Once Don King and his thugs got their hands on Mike, all those lessons and discipline took a huge slide.

Facts

True and not only that, he was this mans father. Not biological of course but Cus was his dad. You can tell that was one of the most special people Mike ever interacted with. I’m sure Cus would be proud of the person Mike became after all of the mess, Mike prevailed. Life is crazy

@@wilfredgonzales3260 you could see that by how dull he became after cus passed, he said he was always bored and that he felt he got his life ripped away from him, cus was more then a dad to Mike, he was the physical embodiment of love and hope for him.

Cus was family to tyson. he basically raised mike

Not one of the he was the greatest

Cus would be and is Heartbroken at the Exploitation by Don King and Robin Givens, two HORRIBLE people that did not care for or love Mike Tyson. Cus is Very Dissapointed that Mike allowed these Evil people to Destroy the young Fighter he Loved. Mike did not think for himself outside of the ring. Cus would have Smelt the Evil that is Robin Givens😡 and Never would have supported them getting married.

​@@iknowthatsrite6009 Were you there? You're going to take a violent coked out animal that clearly has major self control issues over a woman with no major red flags on her past? I mean even if you take his word he admitted to punching her. So a battered woman is evil and her abuser is the victim? Why cause she got some of his money? He beat on her. She earned every dime she got from him. Besides he's the idiot that didn't have a prenup in place. Lol yeah she was his down fall. Not the drugs mixed with out of control temper and oh yeah rape. Nope it was Robin lol

@@bradsanders407 Yes I was there.

The guy is just an emotional shell of himself. Every time I see him on RU-vid he’s crying about something. Cus would be disappointed if he were alive to see this.

@@Berkmugga ppl be asking him personally ass questions… be mature

@@Berkmugga I bet you wouldn't say this to Mikes face...

@@x_MrYAYA_x I wouldn’t want to make the little girl cry.

@@Berkmugga EAD !!!

got no words to say

mike is living legend

He had the whole flashback of his life with Cus.

Very special bond that I long for

Well said

Mine too bro

Giving me goosebumps right now and I wasn’t even aware of tht man. Mike deserves the respect he has in this world💯🐐

It really is profound, beautiful actually.

Can u tell me the name of that song

@@subramaniyapillai1069 I dont know it I'm afraid, beautiful though

All Cus wanted was for Mike to become a champion and be independent. Mike did excellent!

Yeah… let’s just erase the R @. Ppp eee charges that happened in the 90’s

100% agreed.

don’t forget that plane incident

Amen.

Definitely a man tear

@@EaglesSlantroute true that homey!

Yeah that hit me when he said that made me think of my grandad.

@@locutusofborg7841 ❤️

Facts . Got emotional myself

Shits sad af, and hits stronger when you can relate

Gud was alive mike would be better off

Tyson has lived one of the most intriguing lives a man can live. He seems to be at peace now. He'll be fine.

or even Ali

There's no such thing as closure. That's the thing with life. You just have to accept what you've gone through and keep moving forward.

Man i tear up when someone mentions him. And i didnt have the chance to know the man. I can not imagine the pain Mike has gone true

That was said really well

Cus D'Amato, Muhammad Ali and Tupac Shakur were the only 3 people I ever saw Tyson shed tears over besides his daughter

They were family. Its disrespectful as fuck that you would call it a friendship. You shouldn’t be allowed to comment

Cus adopted Mike ...He's still his spiritual father as far as I know...

@@codylevesque5200 Ok Karen, u can leave now...

Facts

👍 I feel the same way with my father he never got to see me succeed

@Shorty Backer well I wasn't doing too well in life when he was sick and passing away. I changed my life around after he died but I appreciate it. He's still in heaven looking down don't let him down man

​@@bohawg3843 at least your father stuck around. mine went to prison then when he got out started a whole new family and only saw me a few times ever since then. I'm 29 now and I gotta say even tho I've found a way to succeed in life, it doesn't really feel worth it because I never had a father to teach me and a mother who always judged me every move I made. you people need to appreciate what you had because it's worse knowing they are still around and don't care about you.

Sheeesh, you natty bro?

@@benitocamela174 Well, that got weird quick.

@@benitocamela174 Of course. Just look at those unnatural guns. Roids bro.

@Trav B it helped him get to where he is now. The problem is most don't learn from life, they let life control them, Mike changed himself & then his life. A lesson for all 👍

Amen 💯😟

He is a product of his environment, if he was raised in a loving environment he would be the sweetest person.

Mike is the tuffest guy on the outside but on the inside he has a soft heart😔

Maybe you haven't seen the ones,when they ask him about his little Daughter. Those are really profound!

@@arturoviva5718 Or when he talks about Ali. Someone was chopping onions when I seen that.😥

Yes 💯

Every time anyone mentions Cus,I cry with Mike ❤❤

Cus legally adopted Mike and he became his son

He would have responded you did great champ 🏆

4 words said soooo much more than a paragraph the interviewer was hoping for

Yes ... The possibility of even talking to cus once again had a wave of emoitions ....

Right.... can't agree more

@Judas You definitely can't say definitely cause who knows how a prime Iron Mike woulda done vs any of the greats? He might be the best, but we'll never know. Different eras. He's my favorite, but not 100 % sure he could beat every1 of the greats. Personally I think he'd have a good chance, he was a masterful tornado in his prime. 🙂✌️✌️

@Judas learning disability?

Tyson always said that cus would tell people that he was going to be the greatest heavyweight of all time, he would get embarrassed thinking Cus was exaggerating but he actually became the GOAT..

Took the words homie. Well done!

Your words are strong. Thank you Sir

But he can't get an answer. So it's stupid that all he'd do is ask a question. I think if he could actually do this and had time to think about it he would actually say some profound shit instead of asking a question lol

@@justinwilliams1728 I feel like if he could get an answer it would be not very good seeing as he raped his wife once. Did that just like not actually happen or do people just ignore it because he was such a good boxer

@@justinwilliams1728 you even watch the video? Where's your father?

Shut up

Wasn't tht micky from rocky??

He wouldn’t say I love you but he would say the rest.

What this dude grew up like, got the belt before 20, went fcking insane like most guys that age would with cash and fame, lost it all, spent time in the pokey, turned into almost a diffeent person entirely introspective, speaks really openly about his shortcomings and struggles and genuinely a guy that if you read some of his crazier stuff by most accounts should be a social pariah. Its really inspiring to see that its possible to make a comeback and grow as a person in a real positive way. Jimmy kimmel tells a story about mike being on his show one night. During the day his kid got into a fight or something at school and he had to go pick hin up. When he got back tyson grabbed him and went off to have a little heart to heart with him and a motivational talks you give kids that age. Then threatened him🤣 if you dad calls me and says your getting in trouble again, he told me id have to come over and beat the shlt out of you. Kid leaves, couldnt imagine what was going through his mind with the end of that conversation. He walks back over to kimmel and said they had a good conversation. Oh yeah I threatened him, said if you call me saying he's fcking up again I'd beat his a$$. Heres the best part. This was the first time kimmel and tyson met 🤣 then tells him you know id never do that right? Tysons still insane, but its a much less scary and more stuff like that. Kimmel always tells anyone asking how/when did you meet mike. Goes he threatened to beat my kid, weve been friends ever since😃

Not his homie, his father and friend.

His father.

@@Since_84 Not his father.. His coach. He didn't train him out off love....

@@easygrin1127 Actually he did, he didn't do it for money.

Me too.That question is actually good for person of his travels since..

With all due respect to mike Tyson, there are lots of things in the world need to be seen and more deserve to have anyone tears up seeing it. Everyone has a Story. No need to be so excessive and dramatic over mikes stuff. I found nothing special and new from mikes story.

@@anginsepoi1777 I don't really tear up over anything that doesn't affect me but seeing someone who looks as scary as tyson and someone I always looked up to in a way tear up is mad

Watch his podcast every time Cus is brought up he cries!! That man was like a father to Mike

Me too man

Underrated comment. This is THE comment!!! So true. He wasn’t the monster they made us believe he was. Beast indeed. Monster not in the least.

You said no one has ever been nice to you why is that??? That's a BOLD statement especially if you meant it LITERALLY. That make me wanna go kick they asses!

I love Mike Tyson. I used to love him because I thought the things he did and said were so over the top that it made it hilarious. But as time went on I now love him because of how smart and thoughtful he actually is, and the things I used to think were funny about him have taken on a darker and more tragic tone when you see the result of him today. Its really a shame that he got taken advantage of by so many after Cus passed. I’m so happy for him now that he can just be himself.

@@lordjaashin he was the first trainer he had, basically showed him peekaboo style and taught him to develop his whole style in boxing, Cus made that kid a legend, but Mike had a father-son relationship with him, so Cus was probably the first person who cared for him or loved him, that's why someone mentions Cus and Tyson goes emotional, he really loved him

@@eduardoibarra4641 oh thanks. that gives great context to this video

@@lordjaashin cus housed, fed, and basically lived 24/7 with him. Probably was the only male figure in his life that had that fatherly energy. I think anyone who's ever seen mike Tysons career wonders what would have been, had cus lived even a year or more.

He also adopted him.. he was his father.
