    Here's Tyson's side of the story. Had never heard it before.

    His side of the story is BS. Watch the old documentary "Beyond the glory" from like 2002, that's where Tyson actually admits his sexual misconduct towards the (11yo)girl. Some even say it went further than that, that it was an intense sexual assault. What Atlas did in response was hardly over the line, lesser men than him would have pulled the trigger on punkass young Tyson.

    Regardless of the details, it was a preview of what was to come later when Tyson got a hold of Desiree Washington. Not surprising that he denies both incidents today. That's the 'super honest Tyson' that the fans always talk about I guess.

          - -Anyone believing anything these two LoonyTunes say ain't right in the head either.

          Teddy is a classic coward who grabbed a gun to go looking for Donny Lalonde, hence his manic obsession with cowardice.

          Teddy was rightly fired by Cus for being dangerously unstable. He's a Riker felon at the heart of his beginnings.

            I could take it a step further. I personally know a former pro fighter who held the Cdn welterweight title in the mid-80's, who worked with Teddy. As the tale goes, there was a disagreement. Shortly after as this former fighter was using a urinal, Atlas was alleged to have taken a run at him, from behind, with a knife.

            He told me Atlas was unstable if you pushed the right button.

            I wasn't there, hence my use of the term "alleged", however, this former pro is a friend, and the incident is something he swears to, and he is not somebody, I've learned over years, to exaggerate or lie.
