    Taken from Tysons Autobiography by Peter Heller

    Chapter 5: The Catskill Years page 91

    "That incident ended things once and for all between Cus D'mato, Mike Tyson and Teddy Atlas. According to Jay Bright, who was living at the house then, and indeed still does, Mike planned to get his revenge on the trainer he was once devoted to. Tyson confided to Bright that he was going to kill Teddy. 'Teddy should thank god hes alive.....Michael wanted to go and in no uncertain terms get rid of the guy, really, and Cus talked him out of doing what he wanted to do...., I know exctly what Michael was going to do, and no one would be able to trace it back to Michael. No one would have known."

    . He became a great fighter but Tyson was a spoilt child.

    I wonder what he had in mind?

    All i can think of is, he probably asked his Brooklyn homies to pretend to rob Teddy and then kill him in an attempted robery.

    I dont know why i think that

    Sounds like something off a Ren and Stimpy episode.

    The most interesting aspect about the Heller book was the material he didn't put in (the homo stuff).

    Let's not forget Teddy has had a bit of a murderous side himself.

    Took a gun to Tyson.

    Took a gun after Donny Lalonde.

    I think there was at least one other boxer he was associated with that he either pulled a gun on or set out to do so.

    For a tough guy, he doesn't seem to like the idea of a fair fight.

    No wonder boxers have continually fired this psycho after they have gotten to know him.
