This is essentially true. Teddy grew up in privilege, the son of a MD. Then, he rebelled and boxed a little bit. He smartly stopped fighting and used the knowledge learned from D'Amato to become a decent trainer. He had a chip on his shoulder and talks very tough - but he's no match for former street urchins Tyson and Foreman. They could have sent him to the hospital if they had wanted to.
In his version of life when women weren't beating him up Teddy Atlas turned him out in Rikers Island that's how he knows lololol I think Atlas was a spoiled kid who thinks everything is about him his dad started the charity and like fighters careers Teddy just jumped on for the ride.....he loves being the center of attention
Moral compass my ass. This holier than thou midget was on tv preaching against corruption WHILE WORKING FOR THE MOB. This moral man was on tv screaming about decency while he was acting like a tough guy over pulling a gun on a 15 year old and bragging about stalking one of his fighters with a gun on another occasion. This guy who loves to talk about virtue has sucker punched more people than i can count. Get off Teddys tiny dick and go get yourself an actual education so you can actually call yourself a historian rather than just pretending to be one on the internet. Teddy Atlas has gotten more from less than anyone i can imagine and remains the biggest hypocrite in boxing. No thanks. Ill continue to bash this dumbass as long as he continues to be a self righteous hypocritical blowhard. If he has a problem with it he needs to send someone who can defend him better than a wanna be "historian."
ok I stand corrected foreman better sit that and shut up .. teddy I aint ever been the champion of nothing but beating my meat atlas is gonna rough him up
I think most know why he threatened him but the entire thread is about whether or not Teddy Atlas is a legitimate badass and the truth is from not only those from the city and those neighborhoods as well as interactions with him he is self centered and focused also a real grown man with smarts carries a gun for protection and self defense but not threatening teens lives...... Atlas puts himself and his ego first this is put out there for the world to see everytime he has an opportunity.....he may have times where he is genuine and decent with people but few argue he isn't a self serving egomaniac,,,,being nice to a person does not change what they are
SO you would discount threats of **** to your family member from a predator you know for a fact has been doing just that unchecked ? Seriously ? AT the time he was in his mid twenties so not exactly a man of the world himself. AS far as calling him a "punk" , which is what I was referring to precisely, I sincerely doubt you or the film pirate would say it to his face even today at age 60. If you did you'd regret it.
I know why he did that to Tyson but a man who feels that afraid of a 15 yr old kid he brings a gun? I have no personal reason to confront him but if I had to I am sure I would be more than able to handle myself. Atlas shows his narccism in every public appearance he loves attention even if he has to lie to get it....it's people like you who can't see that he takes advantage of
My bad I thought you said he turned you out at Rikers after some prison love and you were beat up by some chicks ooooops
