Teddy Atlas

[holmcall]

It's just holmcall you don't know the guy, yet Teddy is known by people who actually do know him that he's a bit crazy and will fight to the tooth and nail for his guys. Just saying there are things to criticize and things not to do, but he it just seems odd that you are criticizing him for his past and claiming he's fabricated it when that's really really doubtful. I don't get what plastic surgery covering up his scar means either.

Look, I am not accusing him of fabricating anything. Those are your words, not mine. All I am really trying to say here (and I obviously failed to do it) is that I think Teddy's a bit over the top with his tough guy persona. As for the scar, I think you know fully well what I mean. I have an ugly shrapnel scar on my right bicep that I could have fixed anytime I want to, but I won't because I like having it there. It allows me to tell people how I got it. BTW, I note that no one commented on his Sammy the Bulll bullshit. Now this is my last post because I am tired of trying to give abalnced viewpoint only to have it callled ignorant and absurd. I don't mind a good debate at all.That's what these forums are for. But I don't care for insults or flaming. Just not my styel. The thread asked for an opinion. I gave it. End of story.

I agree, I also read the book too, Chris Nagel uploaded it here. Was Sammy the Bull the guy that threatened some comedian at the charity or whatever?

About Atlas I wouldn't say he had a tough upbringing, more like a rebellious kid that got in trouble. Atlas had a solid 2 parent home where his family's income was in the upper tax bracket. He just acted like a brat and ran with the wrong crowd because his dad didn't pay too much attention to him or whatever.

And I can see where some people won't feel sorry for this "tough" upbringing, I"m also 1 of them.

Yea I don't get what you mind about the Sammy the Bull part. The comedian thing was funny, he was just a workout partner and then he trained his son who didn't have his heart into it and his comments weren't really jaded to much. I'm not flaming either just trying to dissect your opinion a bit. Maybe I confused what 'bullshyte' was it made me think you were saying that he was bullshitting like lying. Fair enough.
