james smith I don’t know? Mike is so open about the mistakes he made. I honestly think Tyson - as a grown man - would probably end up getting emotional and mostly agree with Teddy’s take and admit that he could have used the structure Teddy wanted to give him. In his podcast with Rogan Mike talked about how he was never prepared for the fame and money and really never worked on himself. He won’t say anything bad about Cus because Mike’s a loyal dude, but it’s clear that he’s realized as an adult that he was basically just allowed to do whatever he wanted to his own detriment at times. Teddy and Mike are cut from the same cloth at the end of the day. They are both truly loyal people. Tyson never speaks bad about Cus (in spite of how he prioritized Mike’s boxing career over his development as an adolescent into an adult) and you can see Teddy won’t throw Cus under the bus either. Like, a lot of what Teddy is saying about Mike-Are things Mike now says about himself; I think that’s what’s so frustrating. Mike now shares Teddy’s critique of who he was, and Teddy doesn’t watch podcasts or get on the internet, so he may have no idea what Mike’s like now.

I think Teddy is an amazing person for .the way he does talk about Mike cuz I think most people would understand if he had nothing but horrible things to say about the guy. But I think Teddy's mindset is what's done is done and you can't go back in the past and change it. So you can either remembered the good times that were had and leave it at that. They will never be best buds and they shouldn't be. But if Teddy slandered Mike every chance he got it would just make him look like he is the bitter one when he's not. Mike did something unforgivable but he was also pretty young and dumb and full of millions of dollars. Teddy knew that and i think be Teddy sees Mike is a different person now and that's awesome but it doesn't change that he did an unforgivable thing but it's not like Teddy wants his whole life to be completely ruined forever. Mike did that on his own for many years and finally grew out of it. Doesnt mean Teddy wants to be best buds but no need to continue to bring up old shit any chance he gets.

Mike captured the imagination of everyone during that amazing early period of his career. No small feat and no accident. He is better regarded and more recognized than any of his peers and I dare to say also the largest figure in boxing to emerge since Muhammad Ali. This is just honest fact. Watch the fights...all of them. Watch from his first pro fight through his later decline and accept him as a true legend, flaws and all. Teddy... maybe unconsciously is invoking the yardstick of past greats like Joe Louis whom can never be duplicated. Great historical passages borne of a period which cannot be repeated. Its a story of adversity overcome against all odds by a cultural underdog of the times they were in. Both Louis and Ali (and others) helped define the archetype but under different circumstances. My point is this... Even though Tyson's career did not exhibit the same arc and trajectory as other great champions, didn't he also overcome adversity against all odds? Unless someone feels unfairly compelled to compare notes line for line, I think Tyson's story qualifies. He came from a place where a guy like him had little to no hope of being anywhere but dead or in prison and made a decision to pursue an opportunity to place his focus and concentration on achieving something where the odds could be measured in the millions for the rest of us (not hundreds or thousands). I see it as special either way. Cus had the vision and fortitude to recognize it and harness it and for better or worse (a matter of option) Mike inevitably walked his own road. I believe more than a few people may need to recalibrate their instruments when trying to measure his contribution to the sport in order to give fair analysis.

@@connshawnery6489 Excellent analysis, spot on, and very eloquently outlined as well. I’ll take it one step further - Teddy never got over losing Mike. Grabbing a girl’s ass or whatever other shenanigans Tyson was engaged in didn’t warrant a gun being pulled on a teenager. Ultimately, the story Teddy is trying to tell is his own. He never fully formed back then. He never matured. He had a ridiculous temper and it got the better of him right before one of the two or three biggest explosions in boxing history. Teddy had to watch Mike dominate the heavyweight division for all those years from his couch, never receiving any real credit (aside from boxing insiders). Sadly, he created this narrative about Mike never rising to the challenge to compensate for his own pain. Not to say he’s not right a little bit about Mike, obviously he is, but the Tyson story is a grand epic tale of almost unparalleled success when looked at as a whole. Teddy’s story is a solid success as well and he should proud but it’s a kind of a story if what could have been. That fact haunts Teddy and colors his take on Tyson the fighter.

@nycali-tw2gl5 жыл бұрын
Infinite0396 He wouldn’t have much to talk about; other than the fact that the formative skills, the foundation, had already been laid. TA was the one developing Tyson. In the gym every night, taking him and the rest of us to bootleg shows, driving back and forth between Catskill to The So. Bronx, Catskill to Red Hook Brooklyn, Catskill to Scranton, Pa., Catskill to Brownsville. On top of that, TA was not only there for Tyson, and to say he was instrumental is an understatement, but he was there for everybody in that gym. He was more than a trainer, he was a mentor, a father figure, a psychologist, a counselor. And you had scumb@#s like Joe Colangelo who would many times call for Teddy’s help because scumb@g Colangelo’s kid was struggling because his parents were going through a divorce and the kid needed help. That scumb@g Colangelo didn’t hesitate to call Teddy for help. But the first opportunity he had, he stuck a knife in Teddy’s back. He saw an opportunity, he saw a chance to suck on the t%t of the Tyson gravy train. Scumb@g Colangelo was so far up Cus and Mikes arse, that if you needed to find him, all u had to do was look for Cus or Mike and you’d see the scumb@#s feet hangin out of their arse. So why does this matter; Teddy Atlas was the one who put all the hours of sweat and blood into the most crucial developmental years of the making of Tyson. And he did it along with all the other stuff mentioned AND while training Rooney. Tyson was turnkey ready by the time Rooney stepped in. And Rooney only had one person to worry about, but the hard work was already done. Not saying Rooney had an easy job, but Atlas took an undeveloped, raw, self-doubting, immature kid and was not only developing him into a fighter, but teaching him how to be a man---until Cus stepped in and undermined him. Atlas developed Tyson from scratch. Rooney wasn’t there every day. It was Atlas. Rooney had his own career, and frankly, he didn’t give a schitt about anything but himself. The sad thing though, he and Atlas WERE friends. Teddy’s father was a doctor and WAS close to Rooney. Rooney was probably closer to Dr. Atlas than he was to his own father. Dr. Atlas took care of Rooney, more than just as a doctor, but in other ways to. But that was Dr. Atlas, always, always giving and helping out people who needed help. Rooney was one of those people, and like the scumb@g Colangelo and all the other phoneys who turned their backs on Teddy, he stuck a knife in Teddy’s back. In the end, these people showed they have no character and no integrity. They showed that loyalty is not in there DNA. Well guess what--in the end, it all blew up in their faces, and they had already sold their souls. They didn’t have enough respect for themselves, so it’s easier to understand why they did what they did. Cus use to say “there’s nothing more tragic than seeing a man defeated by himself.” They sold out their pathetic selves. I don’t know if that’s tragic, but maybe more like poetic justice.

@@Infinite0396 Thank you. I appreciate that. It was a fascinating time in my life. That gym was a huge part of my upbringing and I’m blessed to have experienced it. At the same time, it sucked when it just blew up. Especially when people showed an allegiance to Cus because they thought they would get on the Tyson Gravy Train. But the most hurtful thing was to see how these same people relied on Teddy for so much help and when the time came, they turned their backs on him; and Teddy struggled for a long time because Cus blackballed him. In the end, Team Tyson fell apart. I wouldn’t wish what Mike went through, his personal struggles, family struggles, struggles with addiction, on anyone. It was a bitter pill for me to swallow, because I blamed Tyson for the implosion of that gym. I was angry at him for a long time, but he has been humbled and appears honest when he speaks of who he was then and who he is now. More importantly, we are all called to give grace, for the grace we give others is the same grace we shall receive. Another sad part was to see Cus throw all his principles out the window to get his last hurrah from Tyson. And money meant nothing to Cus so it wasn’t about the money. But to see this man compromise his principles because he was desperate for time was sad. The irony is Cus said there’s nothing more tragic than seeing a man get defeated by himself. His hubris, his pride, his lust for attention was Cus’ downfall. He became a victim of his own self.

Tom cunningham; the trainers that tyson had during 89-05 didn't understand cus d'mato's peekabo style. Tyson never lost a decision as a pro and went the distance with quick tillis, tony tucker, green, pinklon thomas...during 86-88. Read his autobiography "undisputed truth". Tyson says teddy atlas left because he wanted tyson to became a pro earlier as he needed money once he got married. And then teddy wanted tyson to travel with him to new york and leave cus d'mato but tyson said no.

Teddy Atlas is telling the story, from his perspective, and being as objective as he can. It doesn't sound like sour grapes at all; I think it is very clear that he respected the talent that Tyson brought to the table. Let's be honest...what he says about Tyson's character, at the time....well, it has been proven true by Tyson's actions in and out of the ring. Now, of course people can become better people, and grow, over time. But we're not talking about the Tyson of today, here.

@alcottdevalte74405 жыл бұрын
@@devonalexandra9963 You're so wrong. Tyson post-prison 95 was a declined version of himself. He beat bruno because of his offence, fear factor and power both times. Tyson basically trained himself during 89-05 because cus d`mato had only taught kevin rooney and teddy atlas the peekaboo style. He knew more than the other trainers. Tyson during 81-88 was at his best. His defence was tight, he threw the combination punches while moving the head, his pace was higher and cardio at the top, he used angles and fought to win with skills... He trained much more with kevin rooney, and sparred from 8-20 rounds each day once training camp started. Tyson post-prison never went the distance. His confidence was lower and his skills were not close to what they were in the 80s. He didn`t move his head before and after a punch. There was no jab to set up the combination punches, no body punches, no working the clinches, his cardio got worse as the years passed due to lesser training. He lost discipline and had a more crazy lifestyle. His corner in the douglas fight was a joke. And his new trainers had no business training a world champion, tyson should at least have hired eddie futch, emanuel steward, angelo dundee... This is what he says about the bruno fight in 89 from his book "undisputed truth". "I hired my Catskill roommate Jay Bright to be my new trainer(1989). I wanted Jay to get some money because he was part of Cus’s family upstate. We also hired Aaron Snowell, who claimed he had trained Tim Witherspoon. Tim later told me that Snowell was just his running partner who had carried the bucket into the ring, but I didn’t care. I didn’t train particularly hard for the fight. I had sparred with Bruno when I was sixteen at Cus’s and had gotten the best of him then. I had no strategy to fight him. I knew I could pick off his jab and he couldn’t hurt me with his power punches. At the weigh-in, Bruno attempted to stare me down, so I pulled my shorts down and showed him my pubic hair. When the fight began, I felt a little rusty but I was punching pretty hard. I dropped him with the first punch. Then I got a little reckless trying to finish him off and I misanticipated his speed and he hit me with a left hook and a short right. People made a big deal that I was wobbled with the punches, but that wasn’t so. It was just za-bang and then I was back in charge. I almost finished him off at the very end of the second round. After that, he held me after every punishing blow I got off. With a minute to go in the fifth, I wobbled him and then spent the next forty seconds stalking him. He was ready to go and I got him against the ropes and landed a devastating right uppercut, and Richard Steele stopped the fight. He was out on his feet."

When Teddy slips up and says "Michael" referring to young Mike you can really see the feelings and emotion he has towards Mike. You only call someone by their full name if you share a certain type of relationship. In this case, a father/son or big brother/little brother type relationship. I'm sure Teddy hated the fact that he had to be hard on Mike and Cus got to be the good guy all time, but that's just the way the ball rolls sometimes. I hope Teddy and Mike can reconcile before it's too late.

wallball45 Wrong. If Cus knew better, he wouldn’t have undermined Teddy, Teddy would’ve stuck around, and Tyson May have been the youngest AND longest reigning heavyweight champion. But Cus didn’t know better. In fact, in the end, Cus was doomed by his own hubris pride. He couldn’t get out of his own way; he threw all his principles and everything he stood for out the window to manufacture his last swan song---the youngest heavyweight champ of all time. But he didn’t do much to prepare Tyson for life. If CUS REALLY KNEW BETTER, HE WOULDVE LISTENED TO ATLAS AND DISCIPLINED TYSON WHEN HE NEEDED TO BE DISCIPLINED, NOT LET HIM GET AWAY WITH AND DO ANYTHING HE WANTED, CAUSE IN THE END, TYSON WAS THE ONE WHO SUFFERED. BUT THE SAD THING IS, CUS KNEW HE WAS WRONG AND ATLAS WAS RIGHT. CUS JUST SOLD HIMSELF OUT BECAUSE IT SERVED HIS PURPOSE; and money had nothing to do with it. It was just the thought of having the new youngest heavyweight champion ever. It was actually sad.

It was when thinking of that bizarre fact over and over again, I could only pin that impossibly horrible string of terribly accurate and terribly powerful punches Buster Douglas strung together against a normally unbelievably great defensive fighter like Tyson. It SHOWED IMHO the CRUCIAL and conspicuous absence of the otherwise ubiquitous influence of Teddy Atlas and Kevin Rooney, whereas Joe Frazier ALWAYS had greatness in his corner -- Yank Durham and Eddie Futch!!!!!!

I’ve always felt an odd tie to Mike. I grew up in the 80s near Tryon School for Boys (it’s in Johnstown NY not Amsterdam where Teddy stated but close enough), when Mike was going there, and my best friends father was the cook there. So, when Mike was this young phenom he felt like this hometown hero to all of us. Growing up later my family used to ride snowmobiles with another group of families and the son of one of them was a 10yo boy with terminal cancer. He was exactly like what you see in the St. Jude’s children’s hospital ads, no hair, no eyebrows and had one of his legs amputated in an attempt to stop the cancer but it was of no use. Regardless this kid was a badass, and truly lived like he knew his time on earth was limited, he rode his snowmobile like a daredevil, doing things adults wouldn’t even try. For an example of his mindset he used his Make A Wish not to go to Disney World or meet Michael Jordan, but to ride on the first leg of the Idadarod, which to those of you not in the know is a grueling 1,100 mile dog sled race in Alaska (the musher he rode with went on to win that year). The reason I tell you that is because when returning home from the trip, his family came home to find a brand new jet ski and trailer waiting in their driveway, courtesy of Mike Tyson. I guess he heard there was a kid who grew up where he did struggling to pack as much living in the time he had left and wanted to help. I’ll never forget that gesture, and it was around the time the world was trying to pull Mike down in the 90s. He didn’t do it for any press, he just did it to help. And finally I came to find out that Bobby Stewart (the guy who “discovered” Mike in Tryon) is my mother in laws cousin. So, I have these weird little connections to Mike from growing up near where he got his start. Never got to meet him, but if I ever do I’d like to tell him about it, and I’m so happy that he seems to finally have found peace in his life. Helping bring a little bit of joy to a dying kid’s life always showed me there was a genuinely good soul in there trying to make itself known. No matter what the world says about him he’ll always be a hometown hero to me.

@@onthewall8198 Well, that's one way to look at it and I'm sure Teddy felt Cus was not helping build Mike's character and develop his maturity. And it sounds like Teddy is still bitter about having to leave Cus and his home because of Mike even though Teddy had been there 4 years before Mike arrived and it was Teddy who arranged to have Mike come to the gym in the first place... But also, Teddy knew that Mike was mentally vulnerable, he knew that if someone stood up to him he might mentally break.... And that is exactly what happened against Douglas and later against Holyfield... Yes he was probably not training properly, he was getting into trouble outside the ring etc... etc... but that is all part of his weakness in his character/mentality... Pride comes before a fall, and Mike never learned that until it was too late because he was never raised to be a man, he was being raised as a spoiled kid who didn't have to show any responsibility or respect. Courage is very closely related to self respect, and self respect is very closely related to having respect of others, so I would say Teddy experienced enough to feel like Mike didn't have the required self respect and courage to win when the going got tough in a fight. Mike was clearly physically gifted, but he was mentally quite vulnerable.
