This is a very important point.
There are lots of stories about Cus letting Mike get away with tons of stuff that he didn't let any of his other fighters get away with. Cus was old and he knew that Mike was his last shot at a world champ, so he let him get away with tons of stuff.
Mike already felt he could get away with anything even when Cus was alive.
This is what was behind my point earlier in the thread when I said that even Cus wouldn't have been able to stop 23-24 year old Tyson from living a wild lifestyle.
