The Untold Stories of Cus'Dmatto

[Rick Taylor]

Cus added to the technical and historical fabric of boxing. Not many actually add something new to a field as old as boxing. It is like adding something to painting. Only a few are so honored. As for his quality as a moral creature, that is another discussion entirely. Some say he buggered Patterson, which might have made him meaner. And I guess he WAS a genius, if that was his plan.

patterson did always seem kinda gay tbh

Lefty's is distorting the 'truth' much . . . let a half-wit like me explain the controversy.

Sometime after it was over Patterson told a story about napping in the afternoon, with Gus crawling into the bed with him and warming his bare feet on Patterson's legs. It made Patterson very uncomfortable.

Why Patterson would tell such a story years later is open to conjecture: vindictiveness; confessional. It's still creepy.

- -Only thing I could bring is a Tyson bio and something called Life Lessons with Tyson being mentioned as one of the subjects by R. Shaw.

Doubt their are many bios on trainers, prob none, but snapshot collections of notable trainers thru the eras would be fascinating me thinks.

Some things cannot be told. Patterson could not say Cus put the bugger on him any more than Duran could admit he quit against Leonard because he had to shìt after a brace of steak dinners.
