    Teddy atlas is a disgustig piece of sh8t to put a gun to the head of a teenage boy for wanting to talk to a teenage girl...but I wonder if that would work with the folks who live down the street from me.

    LMAO.

    I don't know who to believe really but c'mon Atlas is more reliable? The ****** held a loaded gun to a 13yr old boys head. Are you ****ing nuts? He's lucky Tyson was too dumb to call the cops.

    I would believe Tyson before I would believe Atlas...............Atlas is still angry because Cus chose Keven Rooney to train Tyson instead of Teddy..................

    Tyson just keeps getting younger and younger in his defender's stories. I'm waiting for them to put a sailor suit on him and a lolipop in his hand. From Wikipedia "Atlas left the camp in 1983 following an altercation with the 16 year old Tyson after Tyson had been ***ually inappropriate with an 12 year old female relative of Atlas's"

    Personally I think the 'real man' approach in Teddy's situation would have been to have a serious private one-on-one conversation with him about courting\romance\boys and girls\men and women\*** and dating etc and then ASKED him if he thought it was appropriate to apologize to his niece. If Mike had THEN given him attitude about it or just been unapologetic then Teddy would have been justified pulling his gun on him and saying "If you're gonna be like that then it better not be toward anyone in my family and you better hope there's no one like me in the family of the girl you treat like that" then rather than pulling the trigger he should have either clocked him with it or calmy put the gun away, "If I ever draw a gun in your presence again, it will be to use it," and then walked away instead of firing it and RUNNING away like the story goes. Also he should NEVER have mentioned it to anyone, bragging about it to the press made him look like a total ***** because like Mike said, he was boasting about not really doing anything.
    I think he was insecure and didn't want to admit to the fact he knew couldn't teach a teenage boy a lesson with his bare hands and didn't want to take the risk that Mike would retaliate after he threatened him. Obviously there no shame in not being able to manhandle a teenage Mike Tyson but you could definitely have looked him in the eye and let him know you were serious.

    13, 16 whatever it's the same difference. He still held a gun to the head of a minor. You know what that is considered in the legal system right? Are you ****ling insane?

    But I get the feeling you think it's justified because we all know what Tyson would become later, a complete criminal right? Never mind what something like that could do to one's psyche lol. He deserved it!!

    I'm sorry, but if a man can't throw furniture out of the window of his house anymore, it means the terrorists have won. :-(

    People are forgetting Tyson was a raging lunatic until a few years ago, Teddy's probably telling the truth

    But is he a Creep to put a gun to the head of 190 pound thug who ***ually assaulted his Kid sister in law? It just Maybe the only thing that works.

    rumor has it at some of the intervening years MehoTyson's wife life may have included some activities that could call iron Mikes memory into question head trauma, excessive drinking, depression, excessive marijuana use. . .
