    i remember when fox sports did foreman's beyond the glory, he said for first time in his life he was scared shitless on his way to the ring to fight frazier, but i guess he knew how to use that fear to his advantage.

    Wlad for sure. After the Sanders loss no doubt his confidence was shaken and especially again after the brewster loss. It looked like his time might be up but he got his **** together and remains calm now even when pressured and knocked down by guys like peter.

    It might be true and I think Ive heard similiar from Tyson himself in the documentary.

    But just remember that Atlas is full of **** especially when it comes to Tyson. He always trashes him at every opportunity, he wont even give him credit for being a good fighter in his time which isnt objective but just fact.

    i've seen footage from i think beyond the glory of tyson before the junior olympics and another tourney crying and teddy consolling (sp?) him.

    atlas is very bitter but to be fair, most of the critisim he's directed at tyson is about his willpower and dedication (which is pretty weak)
