    Recently I found a video of his and his philosophy. I was really moved with the way he thought and I wanted to know if you guys have any links on interviews about him. I want to know what Floyd Patterson , and Kevin Rooney said about him.

    Floyd Patterson, I recall, stated that, Cus found him when his self esteem was very low and turned him into a man with confidence.

    But yeah, if you guys know of any good videos where People talk about how Cus was, his philisphy, please post them, as I am very interested in his philosophy.

    His psychology worked well on fighters who had the talent to nurture but for every sucsess he had there were casualties along the way. Many of his ex fighters wont have a bad word said about him but to some his happy home grooming lost boys into successful fighters is too good to be true. That being said Cus made a lasting positive impression on a lot of people who he was really able to reach that a lot of people could not have. Read Peter Hellers book on Tyson to get the balanced view on D amato.
