    What was Atlas ever good at?

    He just had a huge grudge against Tyson back in the 80s and he tried to tell Cus it was either him or Mike so Cus chose Mike and Teddy packed his bags and left.

    Atlas was always jealous of Mike. That's what it's really about.

    Pathetically so I might add. It's not like Atlas hasn't had a successful career. Why hold on to old beef like that for so long? You think Mike harbors any bad feelings for Atlas in any way? No way in hell. People may say Mike has issues--which he does--but Atlas has his own issues to contend with.

    Ali and Frazier publicly 'made up' but Joe still hated the man's guts until the day he died.

    WTF does that even mean? He's a phony but he'd pass a polygraph? Pushing 60 and still sounds like a bitter teenager.

    He is extremely immature, and not the font-of-wisdom boxing guru some regard him to be to make his abrasive personality seem tolerable. He is blessed to be undeservedly in the position of being able to freely bluster and soapbox on national television with the frequency he does. (great, now I sound like a bitter jealous teenager...which, admittedly, is probably on the mark. :lol: I do wish I had Teddy's job and think I would do a hundredfold better...)
