Can anyone tell me why Teddi Atlus pushed George Foreman?

Ya know, I've always liked Teddi Atlas. But this was just beyond dumb. Maybe he was having a rough night and George just set him off. I think George Foreman has some of the most class I've ever seen out of a fighter. EVER! I don't see how Teddi could have been so offended by him to warrent that action.

The incident happened during a Foreman - Moorer prefight press conference & as I ( dimly ) recall ( c'mon it was almost 11 years ago! :o ), Foreman said something disparaging about Moorer that ticked Atlas off. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even that bad ( I mean this was, after all, big, cuddly George not young, surly George ), it was more of a distainful or dismissive comment about him or his skills. But, it ( obviously ) pissed Teddy off & he lashed out. Of course, Foreman just brushed it off & Teddy apologized for his actions later.

So...does anybody have the story? Where's Mr. Reeno?! C'mon Rick, have your lackeys smell out the scoop on this! I agree pbds.... Ain't NONE of them gangster wannabes wanted sh*t to do with Big George that night! (or ANY night!) :boxing: :D

LMAO that is so true. Pushing Big George could constitute a "Bozo No No" ...I can still see George in the ring the night of the Golota/Bowe fight/debacle stepping to a couple of trouble makers and saying "don't do it son". You just knew that George could get a handle on that whole situation if he needed to.

Foreman:go make get me a burger and sit down

...Yeah, holding a gun to Tyson's head isn't nearly as balsy as pushing big George unarmed. Know why he did it? Must have been before the Moorer fight I'm guessing. LMAO that is so true.

Teddy also held a gun to Mike Tyson's head. The answer is simple. He pushed George because he's a ham and likes attention. He likes to be in the limelight. ...Yeah, holding a gun to Tyson's head isn't nearly as balsy as pushing big George unarmed. Know why he did it? Must have been before the Moorer fight I'm guessing.

.....fuckin eh, I asked the same question and never got an answer. Looks like George is saying fuck you to him if you read his lips. Can you believe that he had enough balls to push George? I would have loved to see George punch him so hard that his head came off his shoulders. Teddy also held a gun to Mike Tyson's head. The answer is simple.

Why did he push George Foreman at a press conferance? I know this is hardly worth a whole thread but I'm curious. .....fuckin eh, I asked the same question and never got an answer.
