Teddy Atlas on The Joe Rogan Experience

Teddy Atlas on Joe Rogan........



??



I can only imagine the analogies he'd come up with after toking LMAO.


But seriously Rogan is a huge Tyson fan boy and although he's known for his UFC stuff Joe still appreciates boxing. Joe is a bit of a musclehead at times and he's a bit of a pothead at times (in how he acts), but he's entertaining and he loves the fight game which is brilliant for the various sports because he's drawing in fans old and new.


I'm kind of surprised Joe Rogan never got into pro wrestling either as a wrestler or as an announcer because he's got charisma and he's a legit badass. I guess Rob Van Dam was what Joe would have been in WWE lol...complete with bong rips and everything.

What do they talk about on there, I love listening to Teddy but I can only handle him in short bursts a lot of the time.

True. It's usually better to listen to him in short bursts. This interview is quite easy to go the whole 3 hours through; he talks about Tyson and Cus obviously but also a lot about his childhood. These blokes had some really raw life experiences coming up. His dad, his neighbourhood...

BTW, in general, the JRE is better when you're a bit stoned. Especially when he does other comedians. Trussel (super hippy) is a really good one.

Joe Rogan is a bigger boxing fan than many self-proclaimed "hardcores." He's always waffling about the top fighters, from Joshua-Wilder to Loma and Golovkin and Crawford. Watches everything.

He's definately a well-rounded guy when it comes to contact sports. And makes an effort to form his own opinion about general issues (as a member of the International Dork Web)

That post, it's like a car....you gotta put the gas in it and make sure it's runnin' clean! And this other post over here is like a diesel truck, it may start out slow, but once it gets going you betta watch out. Now Joe! I'm tellin', you, I'm tellin' you it's gonna be a race and when the checkered flag is waved one of these vehicles is gonna be the winner.....

Was only going to watch the first few minutes and ended up running through it.

Solid interview. I like how Joe just let Teddy talk and didn't try to interrupt too much, or try plugging the the UFC in everywhere. Not that i mind the UFC, but to a boxing die hard like Teddy it would have felt forced.

Agree on him always being harsh on Tyson, but give him props for sort of admitting it. He's like that with Pac too, probably because of his history with Roach.

Although his stories were amazing, some of them felt more than a little exaggerated. Anyone else get that vibe?


Also, it was funny when Joe brought up the Bradley - Pac robbery, then quickly brushed it off.

Depends on the guest and what Joe is feeling that day. He talks current events, history, science, sports, technology, theories about life, religion, all kinds of shit. Elon Musk just went on there and smoked a blunt with him.

Alex Jones went on there and got blazed out of his gourd.

I ment I can only handle short bursts of Teddy.

I've never really bothered listening to Rogan

Teddy on Tyson

[El Kabong]

I finally got around to listen to Atlas talk about Tyson.....geez what the fuck makes a great fighter for Teddy? So Tyson lost a few fights, big deal. I don't think he quit or hid...I think vs Douglas he tried his damnedest he just ran out of gas and took too many shots. I think vs Holyfield in #1 he gave everything but Evander never broke and in the rematch it was looking the same and THEN he looked for a way out. Against Frans Botha he struggled and Frans gave a great account of himself and Tyson found a way to win, great punch too. Against Ruddock 2 times he really was called to dig deep. Against Bruno he went through some adversity. Against Lennox he came out of the gates hot but faded quickly (thought Manny Steward did a great job pushing Lennox for the KO). Against Williams and McBride he was just too damned old.


Teddy has convinced himself he's not being personally harsh on Tyson, but we all know he is and hell I understand it, Tyson and he had a very personal fallout.


I would be interested for Kevin Rooney to be on The JRE

Yeah that was my take also, cool interview on the whole but when Tyson comes up he’s just sour. “He only had five fights and he lost them all” you could say that about almost anyone who ever lost some fights.... Mike probably had less heart than someone like a Gatti, sure, but he never went out easily, was tough as nails, and as you mentioned he overcame serious resistance a bunch of times to beat top guys. You can’t hold it against him for having a tendency to steamroll others without taking the kitchen sink.
