    Interesting because a Pro Fighter has to keep control of his emotions or like one famous fighter that Atlas knows put it,,,, if you don't....the ref starts to count 1,2,3,4...
    And, I wonder how that lack of control affects you as a role model and "Teacher."

    Having passion is great, having emotion for something is great...it's a tremendous stimulant...but it is better suited to control it.

    It can be quite a hard thing to do which is amazing how Pro Fighters are able to do it...specifically the ones that seem to Master it inside the ring.

    George hitting him barefisted or gloved would really hurt him bad. Worse than anything. It would maybe even put Atlas in some sort of coma-like state.
    George back in the day would have wasted him right there.

    Did you ever hear the story when George started with Ali at a function before their fight in 74?
    George was a gangsta back in the day. Ali started with his jokes and his mouth and Foreman grabbed him and tore Ali's suit and Ali was scared out of his mind and wouldn't even swing.

    I like teddy's commentary, but the dude's a complete ****ing ass in this video. Making a scene like that in a restaurant, probably in front of kids and old folks is just a ****ing disgrace.
