    Cus was really ahead of his time what stuck out to me from the SI article were these 2 statements by Cus "


    " D'Amato. "Dieting is an act of discipline. I gave him a program to build up his discipline and thereby make him a better boxer, which, after all, is fundamental to the problem. I feel that the differences between individual boxers are not so great but that character makes the difference


    We could have had 25 knockouts in a row if we wanted him to fight stiffs, but each fight he goes into must mean something."

    So relevant today these 2 quotes !

    you can also see to an extent where teddy atlas gets his influence, especially that part about character. that's all teddy ever speaks about in regards to what separates the goods from the greats.

    This is what few people remember about Tyson. His ability to outjab taller HWs was amazing, and not something you see from other short HWs, like Frazier and Marciano.

    I have to read this again. Been a while. I just posted it up because I remember most of it.

    as far as "dieting,' there was a story about how D'Amato's favorite thing was "Ice-Cream." Must be an Italian thing because its huge in our family. Anyway, to show he had discipline he gave it up cold for I think a year to prove his point a person can change at any time. Something like that.

    On that note, this is funny:

    In an interview recently,

    was asked what D'Amato would have said to him after his defeat by Buster Douglas last month.

    Today, D'Amato lies in the last row of graves at St. Patrick's Cemetery. The three-foot high headstone reads:
    CONSTANTINE D'AMATO
    1908-1985
    Below his name, there is an inscription:
    "A boy comes to me with a spark of interest. I feed the spark and it becomes a flame. I feed the flame and it becomes a fire. I feed the fire and it becomes a roaring blaze."

    No, you don't know anything about Tyson or his ability. Razor Ruddock was a can crusher. Ike Ibeabushi was a can crusher. David Tua is a can crusher. On which grounds do you give such opinions on the man?

    Thank you once again. I am not afraid of anyone but I guess you're right. Why do these guys show up and troll this much? Our comments must make them feel very bad and they surely r completely out of context.
