I went from being homeless veteran on alcohol to focused amateur boxer all in the space of one year roughly. Lately he has made it clear I ha e to abstain. I was about to go on a date; and I heard in my head in his voice "are you a boyfriend.... or a boxer? YOU CANT BE BOTH!"

      @MtCoronet0 Місяць тому +1

      ​@scottjones7718 If you are lucid dreaming then in reality you're just talking to your subconscious self. Your projections of Cus and Tyson are coming from your own subconscious imagery of their personas which is ultimately based on your own knowledge - and mind you are just that, projections and not connection to the entities of Cus and Tyson themselves etc. This shouldnt dissuade you from anything, the mind can do anything to deliver an important message even if it may look like someone else is delivering it. Perhaps it represents a desire to actualize and the mind has projected those wishes through the projections of those people since they represent and embody those desired qualities that you wish for yourself. The most important thing to remember is that only you can unlock power within yourself.

    100% on the dot. Any trainer worth a damn will back this up. Anyone can be cool throwing their shots. It's when you opponent is touching you up a bit that you need to know how to keep your composer. Most people have never been hit with a good clean shot right on the chin. And most people will not know how to react when someone starts hitting back. Don't join a body building gym, join a fight gym.

      In a video I saw, Mr. Cus D'Amato with making comments on a sparring session between Muhammand Ali and another fighter, and Mr. D'Amato stated "He's getting hit with too many big shots...". That was during a sparring session. We know, later in life, Ali's health may have been directly related to him being hit with "too many big shots"...
      Absolutely Prophetic...

    It is a pity that Cyrogenics did not exist at that time, it would have been worth freezing the old man, he raised many excellent boxers, he would have been a great benefit for the future boxers.

    I really understand what he says but it is easier said than done as you have to adapt to what is demanded of these words.
    Still a good thing to overcome nonetheless

    I would call him a scientist a philosopher. He was the Albert Einstein of boxing. Wish I would know him I would learn the science of boxing from him.

    Cus is describing Mayweather!!! Only real boxers and trainers understand.
    It's an Art. It's a science. It's a mentality. Hit and don't get hit.
