Most I have ever seen is a photo of them, anyone got any more information on them and how they interacted?
They didn't talk much, maybe only once or twice. Patterson was mostly unassociated with D'Amato at the point that Tyson started to train, and he branched out more to work with different fighters. I remember him being in Ruddock's corner for the Greg Page fight.
Patterson offered to train him after his loss to Buster Douglas. Mike Tyson as a kid listened to Floyd’s biography in an audio format. Coming up he was hearing all the stories at CatSkill it’s unsurprising that he admits he admired and looked up to Floyd. Tyson described him as quiet and dignified that they’d only met a couple times but he was Cus’s pride and joy.
