Failed fighters living through their sons

I wouldn’t do consider it like that…Most of the top guys in any sport had somebody pushing them to be the best at a young age.

I wouldn’t call Cus a failed fighter living though Mike Tyson or Roger or Floyd Senior living thru Floyd.

Now if more black fathers can focus all that extra time and energy to education that would be more beneficial as a whole. Everybody won’t be a star, somebody son just gne get hands put on him his whole career and get CTE for a truck driver salary.

I don't believe Cus boxed. There's been a ton of fighters in the past that were sons of fighters that never ranked. Failed is a bit harsh but a good chunk pushed/forced their sons into boxing, and some of those sons ended up becoming Hall of Famers.
Modern day father/trainers seem to be clout chasers lol

Cus boxed for a little bit and I think he got half blind or something as an amateur or a regular fight and he stopped…

But yea most are clout chasers, and then on top of that these fathers be letting they kids get beat up bad in the ring. They rarely stop the fight at the right time.

The one man who knows he can beat Keyshawn Davis :wow:

Didn't even know he successfully defected.
Beat him? He took his soul, he rocks that mans spirit to sleep :russ: .

Cruz has rent free/permanent real estate in Davis psyche/head till they both depart.

All my amateur aficionados know what time it is.

*Side note. It would be great if Cruz can transfer successfully into the pro ranks/style. He will be great for boxing if he can prize fight with the showmanship he already possesses as an amateur.
