...when trainer-manager Cus d'Amato became his surrogate father, raising Mike with the d'Amato family, giving the boy focus and purpose as a boxer ("He broke me down and rebuilt me"). Tyson was an apt pupil: he obsessively studied old films of boxing legends, learned the spiritual side of the warrior mentality and, he says, "restrained myself from having sex for about five years." He tore through the amateur ranks, knocking out one opponent in a record eight seconds, and was heavyweight champ before...

One morning the noise made the dog jump into the shower with my daughter--and Sticky hates water. Illy says he has never heard of such a thing but notes that even perfection can be perfected.
