I put my hands up here and say until I joined ESB,I was a fan of Teddy,probably because I enjoyed the book.I'm not going to say I hate him and he's top of my **** list,but I have had my eyes opened to a number of things. Always grateful for valuable insight and measured opinions which differ from or change my own.:good Thoroughly enjoyable thread.
Why? Frazier never buried the hatchet with Ali. Erik and Marco have made their fake public amends but are still going to seethe into their graves. Sometimes mutual forgiveness/catharsis just isn't on the table. The best way to "let it be" is to just keep on quietly hating from a distance. Reopening wounds can be ugly, especially when there is little chance of it serving any purpose.
what happened with tyson in the Olympics? did he win? I read the atlas book and all i can remember was that johnny tapia was his roommate in the Olympics or Olympic tryouts.
I agree with your posts, glad to see someone else knows this ****. Atlas, in that Foreman argument, waited till there were people around to break it up. That clip o him and George does not show what started it. Some time earlier, in elevator, Foreman refused to talk to Atlas for some reason, then Teddy, with a reporter watching, figure he would show George up--he stuck out his hand to shake, figuring George would look bad if he did not shake hands. Foreman did not give a ****, ignored Atlas. Teddy did nothing, till much later, when he approached him on the video.
The legend says that Teddy put a gun to Mike's head after Tyson grabbed some girls ass. Some girl who was related to Atlas.
