#406 – Teddy Atlas: Mike Tyson, Cus D’Amato, Boxing, Loyalty, Fear & Greatness

Fear? Yeah, but yeah, fear is at the essence of everything. It's connected with everything. Fear of losing what he was going to lose. But it was more than fear. It was him not believing in the things that he told me he believed in. He didn't even know that. He believed in me because I was his... Stand-up guy because I didn't sell myself. Because I didn't freaking turn evidence.

Cuss told me, Cuss said, and the tests come in different forms. Yeah. I said, all right, cuz. This was his test. And some people pass this test because they're able to pass that test. Because it's not really a test. Not for them. Because it doesn't speak to their weakness. But it's the test that speaks to the weakness. That's the one. So this one, I get it. I get what it spoke to, cuz.
