    Because Tyson touched one of Atlas's female relative's ass. She was a minor I think.

    It was cool to see Mike Tyson a couple of years ago, older, wiser and more mature go up to Atlas and offer an amends for his part in whatever happened. They shook hands. It was good to see there was respect there.

    You reached to far with this. He ruined Moorer? He helped him win the title. If you listen between rounds you can hear Teddy telling Moorer EXACTLY! what George Foreman was trying to do to him. Atlas is a hot head etc but he knows boxing.

    I read that he shot that gun right next to Tyson's head.

    Yeah I heard him telling Moorer that Foreman was timing him.

    Yep. Moorer was fighting at a slow pace like he was an old man.

    What I notice that bothers Moorer most is that Foreman keeps saying he had it all planned that way.

    He made Moorer a headcase. You never saw mental cracks in Moorer before Atlas like you did after.

    Manny Steward had already had problems with Moorer who was a hot head was drinking heavily. He was talented but that chin was not on Teddy.

    Moorer definitely had self doubt issues which coincided with his bad ### persona.

    True that chin was not Teddy's fault but I would argue that it is kind of hard to see someone elses problems when you are so conceded you think the fight is about you and your greatness and not so much the fighter

    I'm sure Teddy has some flaws. Boxing is a hustle. Everybody got a little dirt on them. It has always been easy to give advice compared to taking my own. Boxing needs characters I guess and he is one of many

    He was totally different from the guy at 175. In fighting style but confidence. Heavyweight Moorer acted as if he was gonna die If he expended too much energy

    If Tyson did that, like Atlas pushing Foreman, he that due to some admixture of social opprobrium & human decency, knows that it is unlikely they would do what be no problemo, put him to sleep indefinitely.

    C'mon B.E., not tired of this trollin' Toughman tale yet?
