Does Anyone Agree With Teddy Atlas' Latest Take on Mike Tyson?

[Ivich]

A young mike Tyson was fire. But his heart and will was never tested. Once it was the real Mike Tyson showed up. A bully like Liston and Tyson are great when thing are going their way. Once there's a bump in the road, they fold like a lawn chair. I hope fans here knows that in a big fight heart and will are major factors in the outcome of a fight.

I'd say both his heart and will were tested by Ruddock,and that he passed the test.I also think that even after being beat up and floored by Douglas when he was scrambling around on the canvas half senseless, putting his mouthpiece in backwards,he was still trying to get up and continue.
Liston had his nose broken by Williams ,and his jaw broken by Marshall he continued in both fights winning the first by a ko and dropping a decision in the other.Thats two "bumps in the road," he overcame. Tyson and Liston were bullies so they will quit when the going gets tough is an easy and convenient rationale that in both cases is incorrect imo.Both exhibited," heart and will," in those fights,imo

He started to realize that finding a 5'10 220lb HW with a collection of world class genetics like that can only be found once in a lifetime and the peek a boo style is actually a very limited, almost useless style to teach fighters now let alone HW's.

All due respect though, I do find it sad that Rooney has been unwell for a while and might not have much time left.

The peekaboo is not “almost useless.” It’s a great style, effective even in the current era. It just needs to be learned from someone knowledgeable.

When I hear 'the peekaboo' I think of Marlon Starling.

Funny but I always thought McCarthy to be one, the other three just talented.

Lennon was the genius during the Beatles years, McCartney during the solo years. After the Beatles broke up, Lennon stopped giving a shlt about making music and just wanted to snort heroine with his feral banshee wife.

Bingo!

Mike Tyson was awsome. In the 30 years, since his downfall, who compares with his complete dominance of the Heavyweight division? Nobody!

She is beautiful at the style. Carbon copy of young Tyson.

Telling their writing apart is easy. Early songs written for other artists clearly have McCartney's stamp, stuff like World Without Love, by Peter & Gordon. Mary Hopkin was a protege of Paul's. I always suspected he had a heavy hand in her hit Those Were The Days.

Either guy could have done big things without the other had it worked out that way.

If marrying Yoko Ono doesn't say you're crazy, nothing will.

Teddy's bitterness stems from the same reason he was bitter towards Donny Lalonde...because he got dumped before he had a chance to cash in on their $ucce$$. He got left on the outside when the going got good and never saw a dime of it.
