Teddy Atlas on The Joe Rogan Experience

It’s almost like we agree. Let’s keep putting it differently and liking each others posts for a few pages, just for a change of pace around here.

I might not say it that way, but I don't disagree

PlusTyson was never going to be quite the same after 3 years in prison. He did lose something in there too. I think he beats Holyfield pre prison. He admitted he simply didn't train for Douglas. Ego can take over, he took it on the chin, literally.

I have to watch the whole thing Sunday looks pretty interesting. Teddy at the beginning sounds like any random stoner who forgot the tv was on and starts talking about the awesome patterns on the new carpet. Teddy don't care. I've always found him a wear it on your sleeve kinda guy and his carpet bombing of boxings BS after the result of Augustus v Burton belongs in a time capsule! He slags on Tyson hard but he was there and can come off as disappointment or frustration with self in a way.

It’s worth a watch, as are many of Rogans podcasts. Yes he’s a bit of a meat skull at times, but it’s real talk.

Teddy is a dick makeing threats to fighters with a gun got to be a asshole.

Far as I know that was only to Tyson, after the guy made a pass at his niece. It could have been a very serious thing, and how else would you confront the guy?

I thought Teddy's 30 minute monologue on Tyson was better than any biography you'll read. Terrific.

I didn't take the "0-5" stuff so literal, it was the usual "Tyson is a bully" stuff. Teddy was gushing about Tyson's boxing ability and thinks he "could" have been great, but is an underachiever, which he blames on whether or not Tyson always had a "coward streak," weak nature, or they (Cus and the like) failed in nurturing him.

He was aware people would call him overly harsh and biased, but reiterated it's his story and experience with Tyson.

His rape comments were interesting too. How many people defend Tyson to the hilt over the rape, yet things go on behind the scenes that we never get to know about. Nobody would defend a man with Tyson history/reputation if he wasn't a former superhero.
