Tyson's different explanation about why Atlas put gun to his head

tyson is getting senile already. teddy has been there, done that.

 

Ive heard that version....
but I also heard the reason Teddy was leaving Cus was because he brought the ass grabbing incident to Cus attention and he basically wasnt gonna do anything...Teddy told him to pick Mike or him......Cus picked Mike....
then the incident with the gun took place....
thats what ive always heard/been told.... :good

 

Actually Atlas says he had a whole lot of issues with the way Cus was letting Tyson get away with all sorts of stuff that the other kids would have been kicked out for.

Apparently Tyson was behaving shitty in Catskill, in school and elsewhere, just minor anti-social delinquent stuff, and Cus would pay people off or get friends in the local police to smooth it over.

To me, it rings true. Cayton and Jacobs carried on the same way.

 

Tyson isn't really reliable on things like this. And he's contraddicting himself and what he said in the past. Again.

 

yep
:good

 

he talks so much with interviews daily, his stories do change. lots of contradictions for sure

Believe him if you want.

 

I'm not saying the man hasn't been busted for a few things, but a lot of these are golddiggers and opportunists trying to get money out of Mike by filing false claims or trying to bait him into reacting to him. Look how many of these claims were false and were dropped.

You list his divorce, traffic accidents and being harassed by paparazzi as a "brushes with the law"?

 

Lol was that really necessary? I don't see why any of that would/should have any baring on whether someone would/should believe him or not.

 

The more I hear about how Tyson came up the more I feel sorry for him.


I think Teddy may have used the justification of Tyson grab assing his niece to pull a strap on him but was taking out his anger and frustration on something else.

Let me make my self clear if Tyson was 14 years old he was still a "kid."

If Teddy was really over protective about the women in his family he wouldn't have had them hanging out in a boxing gym full boys/men.

He took out his frustrations on a disagreement he had with Cus on a 14 year old hormonal teenage boy that was hanging out and flirting with another teenage girl.

I pinched a girl's ass one time when I was 15, she didnt know who did it because there was 3 of us standing behind her and like coward punks all giggled and pointed to each other about it. She rolled her eyes, cussed us out and walked off.

Today I feel like crap over it, I didnt think anything of it at the time, because when your, naive, hormonal and stupid, you do stupid things, and Tyson had a lot worse upbringing than I did coming up, and had alot less than I did.

Now if he had pulled the strap on a twenty-something year old Tyson that is a different story.


Either way if you look at it from the perspective of a mature adult.


Teddy ****ed up, Teddy was the grown up......Tyson was the kid....he could have schooled him instead he made him more street by setting a terrible precedent.

 

Tyson seemed to gloss over it in his one man show saying he only grabbed her ass

bull****

 

Why? What did you hear? What happened/what did Tyson really do then?

 

I think you're alil tipsy, had too many shirley temples for one night B.E. :nono

 

And we know Mike is an angel....atsch
