Mike Tyson – Early years, a rare documentary:
From his early years, influenced and formed well by Cus’D Amato and not messed up by the others who followed. Cus died in 1985 when Mike was only 19 and started to get a Pro. Cus says in this footage something like: “My goal is not only to form a champion but also to make him independent from me”, hard to say but he failed with the second part of his saying, by passing away too early, RIP.
