His sheer power and aggressiveness captivated fans from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on his career, many are quick to comment on physical attributes such as his knockout power and speed.

When Tyson speaks about achieving greatness, much of what he says and believes was first instilled in him by Cus.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/drmBziMus9E?feature=oembed\" title=\"Mike Tyson&amp;apos;s  Words Of Wisdom\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"  frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It all comes down to dedication and consistency.
