--------
Teddy Atlas, former trainer to world-renowned boxer Mike Tyson, revealed significant issues that arose between them during their early years together. Atlas began training Tyson when he was just 12 years old, but revealed that the boxer’s problematic behavior began to escalate as he entered his teenage years. According to Atlas, Tyson began disrupting school proceedings, getting involved in physical altercations, and eventually, a serious incident with an 11-year-old female relative of Atlas. Atlas firmly believes in a high standard of moral conduct, both inside and outside the ring, and these incidents led to Atlas throwing Tyson out of his gym. Unfortunately, Cus D'Amato allowed Tyson back into the gym, leading to a significant clash between Atlas and his partners. Atlas pulled a gun on Tyson to ensure his family’s safety against the young boxer’s threat and eventually shot a bullet near Tyson's ear to make him understand the seriousness of his words.

Dude was a scumbag. No matter his conditions and upbringing. Yes, they were bad, but he did horrible stuff as a young man, and there are no two ways about that. The fact that people try to justify those things because they liked him as a boxer provides insight into the type of people they are, idolzing someone over values.

I’m glad Mike is where he’s at now in life and hope both men have found peace from the inner demons this world puts into us and makes us have to deal with.

Tyson said the reason Teddy pulled a gun on him is because Teddy wanted to leave Cus Da Motto and at the time Teddy was training Mike and wanted Mike to come with him, but Mike wanted to stay with Cus.

Teddy is one of the greatest boxing minds to walk the planet earth. People gotta remember, Tyson needed emotional stability as well as a stable home in the 80's. He was lashing out because he was frustrated about his circumstances and didn't know how to control his emotions. There was a better way to handle his situation then shooting him, that's for sure.

If you are that afraid of him, you bring the police in, but this was the 80's. You don't just take shots at him.

[@rockjrca]

[@BillyJack85]

You don't understand the mentality of people who come from the sort of places both these guys come from. Teddy was demonstrating to Tyson what's gonna happen in the real world if you violate somebody's daughter/ sister/ niece/ wife, only without the actual dying part. He was doing him a huge favor and protecting his own family at the same time. The police couldn't do anything because he hadn't committed any real crime to speak of, and even if he had, Tyson had already been to jail and was completely unimpressed with that form of punishment. He actually needed somebody like Teddy who comes from a similar environment and who was an older male figure to speak to Tyson in the only language he truly understood at that point. Anything less would be perceived as weakness by Tyson and would put everyone in that gym in danger. It was definitely the right move.

[@Cronellishways]

@@BillyJack85 He went to jail for petty theft and some armed robberies. That's different then rape. You must not be from an urban area. You realize how many people get shot from just being shot at?

I think Teddy has had resentment for Cus for a long time and he's getting more comfortable talking about how the man he respected more than anyone, the man who taught him his own values and ethics would end up stabbing him in the back for a championship. At the end of the day Cus cared more about winning than his own values and Teddy has to live with knowing that reality the rest of his life.

[@TMGettingMoney]

Unfortunately, at the stage that Mike Tyson was in as a teenager at that time, the threat that Teddy gave him was the only thing that he really would understand. Can’t blame Teddy for what he did under the circumstances and afterwards, years later, Mike Tyson went to Teddy Before a fight while in the audience, and apologize to him, shook his hand and gave him a hug, and Teddy accepted his apology. It takes a real man to put that pride aside and apologize and admit that they’re wrong. And Mike proved that he’s honorable, and that he’s mature, and that he understood as an adult that what he did when he was a teenager was wrong.

[@keithb372]

If Teddy did that today, he would be convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. No matter how mad you are, you can't track someone down and pull a gun on them. You especially can't fire the gun near someones head after you pinned them down. Teddy needs to take his own advice. Always control yourself, inside and outside of the ring.

[@RonJP-pm7jp]

For people who think Teddy is wrong because Tyson is a minor I understand that thinking but Teddy does not condone his actions either but also that logic is similar to saying why would an police use force to put down a teen that’s shooting up a school.

[@MONTANAENTERPRISES1]

Greed. Simple and Plain. Tyson was 13 year old minor child. Can't handle a disturbed or behavioral challenged minor CHILD ? Thats What State Services are for. But for some "Strange" reason a Gun pulled on a Child and Fired is Honorable here. Yeah we know who you are.

Although Teddy was bitter with Mike Tyson, I think Teddy is more bitter of the situation in not being a part of the camp and the Gym.
