I never knew this happened before. Teddy was talking about this on ESPN.
Ted: "I came home from the gym and my wife and her sister were both crying, I asked them what was wrong and they said that Mike tried to force himself onto her sister, an 11 yo little girl. I went outside looking for Mike, and figured he was still at the gym. I was getting ready to go to the gym when a cab drove up outside."
"I hid in the bushes, and when Mike approached, I grabbed him and pressed the .38 to his temple. 'If you ever touch my family again, your dead.' Mike apologized and that's the last of the disrespect I ever experienced from Mike."
just thought it would be interesting to those who enjoy watching his commentation and were unaware of this. i guess atlas really was a tough guy back then, it takes balls to press a gun to tyson's head when you are just a trainer
Teddy Atlas was more than just a trainer, he was a former Golden Gloves champion. Tough dude, got that scar on his face in a knife fight. This story has been around for a while.
Cus D'Amato, Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton were suspect, and many in the boxing community suspected that they were at a minimum bi-sexual. Some have gone as far as claiming Tyson was sexually abused in the Catskills when they brought him up there, hence his public meltdowns while calling everyone fa**ots. There was also heavy speculation that Cus had a similar relationship with Floyd Patterson when he was young as well. Of course none of these allegations have ever been proven, but a good friend of mine who worked for one of the top promoters in the business passed this along from reputable members of the boxing community. Don't be surprised if Mike writes a tell-all some day about what went on up in the Catskills.
This is why I always had a soft spot for Mike. He grew up rough without a father and in a horrible environment. When he finally did have a father figure in his life there is a strong possibility they were diddlers.
I will say it once again. No in-thread fighting, keep it in PMs. If you want to battle on PMs then fine, don't battle within a thread unless you are making points on the subject at hand. I banned two yesterday, I've been quick with the trigger.
lol Wow. How this place has changed.
On another note, Tyson is a disgusting POS.
You know you're a LOSER.
Congratulations.
Eleven posts and all of them are centered around me.
You're a joke. You and I both know your alternate account has thousands....so what's the difference? Hell....I'd bet you have more than one judging by your text.
I'll tell you what is. You make alternate accounts in order to stalk people on the internet.
Think long and hard who the real loser is.

stop talking shit about tyson,none of you know atlas personally he could be the biggest dick ever ,i think this was just a small thing made big by directors or even atlas himself
Tyson was conviced of rape and sexaul harrasment more than once.
If you see "Beyond Glory" on Tyson Tyson himself hate himself.
Tyson disrespected many people and I think personally he deserve what is happening to him.

Get a job, bang a bitch do something else than fucken being on the computer. You're the biggest fucking Loser I'v seen on the internet.
I'm at work right now.
How about you get back on your real handle....and stop hiding behind an alternate account?
You want me to believe you are a genuine 1 account poster?
Newsflash genius...there are posters who joined much later than I did and have almost as many posts.
I'm not post consciensious because this is the internet. You on the other hand are, because you're hiding behind an alternate account.

this scene was in the HBO movie "tyson", i knew it was true...don't fuck with teddy atlas, kids
anybody trying to rape someone will have him in this sitaution someday.
He deserves it. If same thing happen to you you would react nearly the same if he was 15 or 20 or 50 it doesnt matter. Rape is a serouis crime maybe worse than murder.

Well, it doesn't really take balls to point a gun at a defenseless 15 year old kid, but I agree with the reason why Teddy did it.
This is an old story that has been told a couple different times and a couple different ways for many years. Tyson doesn't deny anything about Atlas' story, except Tyson says he was just "being fresh, and grabbed her butt."
I see both sides of this story in a way. Atlas can't pull a gun on a kid, stick it in his ear, threaten him, and pull the gun away and fire it, and then expect the kid to trust him and be trained by him again. And at the same time, he can't just let Tyson get away with that.
Tyson was allowed to get away with everything back then. Cus accomplished his goal of making Mike the youngest HW champion, and a KO artist, but he created a monster who didn't know right from wrong, which ultimately ruined him and lead to a waste of incredible talent. I've said this before, if Atlas had gotten his point across without the gunplay, and if Cus had disciplined Tyson correctly with some tough love occasionally, then he could have broken Marciano's record and been one of the top 3 HW's of all time, because Atlas was actually a perfect match for Tyson. Rooney was good, too, and if Jacobs had lived, then you might have seen Tyson go 50-0 also.
King and his entourage (along with the drama queen/attention seeker Robin Givens) were the worst thing that could have happened to Tyson. He began to do whatever he wanted, with no discipline, and he ruined himself as a person and as a fighter. But it all really began with Cus showing Mike he could do whatever he wanted and ultimately get away with it....and firing Atlas after that incident just reenforced that.
That was a crock of shit. Head case Tyson did a lot of crying every time Teddy was around.... Teddy should have shot Tyson in his little nut bag on general principle. This would have prevented the little perv from doing all the nasty low life shit he did later on with his nasty little perv pecker...
I seen that a while back. I think it was Tyson's SportsCentury. I remember he got a gun and stuck it to his throat and threatened to kill him if he did something like that again. I heard he stopped working with Teddy after that. Mike is crazy sometimes, too bad its a lot.
