Cus D'Amato is the correct spelling. You should reference him using Mr. D'Amato when you consider your involvement in boxing (none) compared to his time.
Cus's style was the opposite of a straight up boxer who used lateral movement. If you knew anything about his style you would know that Ali's natural abilities are the opposite of Cus's methodology.
Paterson & Torres and Tyson all fought from Cus's methods & techniques.
......"Cus prepared him for Frazier with similar sparring partners" .....really?
What sparring partners did Cus "supply" Ali with? And when?

Its Jose 3 years out of retirement and its in Miami not Catskills. Who is the trainer for Ali Burt Lancaster or Jimmy Jacobs?......................
Jose light sparring in Miami isn't exactly sending Ali "sparring partners"!
You telling me about Cus is a joke, you need to realize if your going to talk sh*! about boxing in the north east that was the majority of my time spent.
I knew of Steve but never worked on any of his upstate shows nor did I ever meet him. I don't think he moved any fighters in Hartford back then when Starling and Booze were being moved (80-85)
