Too bad Don King fucked him. Too bad Cus died when he was so young.

I had this video in the 80s too - some English chap hosting it.

Tyson had the right attitude back then...he was strong willed and goal oriented...he said he could go 26 rounds....

...so what happened to him? he just got dumb? Cus gave him the right attitude for life then he just lost it

 

[Spawned_Fighter]

Thanks for these vids, I had never seen them. I think of myself as a somewhat student of the fight game and history, and I learned some new info from these. Tyson really came across well here, deep thinking and clear headed.

Don King happened man, got him when he was alone and vulnerable, put him around the wrong people and transformed him into the person we seen until a few years ago. Also, getting charged with a crime you didn't commit and serving 3 years for it will do it to you.

Same here, I know a lot about the history of MMA but I'm a boxing fan but not a hardcore boxing fan. I'll be purchasing some boxing career DVD's over the next few months starting with the heavyweights. I'll also be purchasing biographies & DVD's on the fighter's lives & careers to catch up on the history & form my own opinions. I'm currently doing the same thing with BJJ & Submission Wrestling. I wouldn't mind being a future version of Bert Sugar or Max Kellerman. Maybe just a fight analyst for ESPN. Not sure but we'll see what happens.

I've always like hearing mike talk about boxing's past.

Good video, I kinda get the feeling everything Mike says is what Cus thinks, rather than what he actually believes.

If only Cus hadn't died so soon.
