    Yup, and he was the only person who ever got who and what Mike Tyson was and could be. Really a man who took the time to make Mike a champion human being before a champion fighter. RIP Cus. One of the few people in boxing who's moral standards weren't ****ed over by money and success.

      Do you reckon Prince Hamed could have comeback after the silly weight he put on after eating barrera's twinkie?

                He was both, I kept up with this stuff when it was actually going on in the 80's.

                Are you trying to argue that because Cus wasn't as hands on with the training he wasn't really training him? He used surrogates (Rooney, Atlas) for the hands on stuff because he was older but HE ran things.

                Peekaboo was the style that he developed.

                    Once again he was old as hell and more of an advisor,,,Rooney and Atlas trained him..Cus motivated him and gave him confidence
