I was thinking about posting this in nsb but this thread is probably more suited here.Just watch the first twenty minutes or the important part.This show happened just after Holyfield upset Tyson.

No-one milked the name "Mike Tyson" more than Mr. Atlas.

I take it you never even bothered to watch the video.

Great watch. Thanks for that.

Always like listening to Teddy speak, even though I don't always agree with the sentiment. He, I think, was **** on here though.

I cannot agree with Teddy on this. He always says that to beat Tyson you have to bully the bully, I don't even think Douglas did that , Douglas just beat Tyson by fighting smart and using his abilities to the fullest. If Tyson couldnt handle punishment he would'nt have gone all those rounds getting his ass kicked by Holy and Douglas and Lewis. Tyson didnt fold like a house of cards he took it like a man and went out swinging.

Atlas & Newfield both claim in the Documentary, Mike Tyson The Untold Story" that Mike Tyson was the greatest fighter they ever seen, with Newfield saying Tyson was the John Coltrane of his sport etc, Newfield said the first time he was invited up to Catskill by Cus to see Tyson "It was an astounding experience" and now both Newfield & Atlas are backstabbing Mike because they have been cut-out of his career.

Tyson flat-out quit on numerous occasions, and he hardly "went out swinging" against Douglas and Lewis (his punch output in those fights was pitiful).
