Teddy Atlas : Mike Tyson did'nt have character

[gazdastrip]

What Tyson did isnt the reason Teddy has done so many other questionable things in his life...check out his book...he was going to KILL Donny for firing him...he sucker punched a reporter because the guy wrote things he didnt agree with...you do not question the character of someone ho would MURDER another man because he fired them?

No, Tyson's behavior isn't any excuse for Teddy's actions..or inactions as it turned out. But nobody is without fault. If somebody did something to an underaged female relative of yours, you wouldn't feel like you were within your rights to talk about their lack of character? Even if you had "thought" about murdering someone?

Sure...but Teddy constantly talks about Mike and the irrational things he does, taking responsibility, etc etc...All I am saying is, IF Mike had done the exact same things Teddy has done....Teddy would be all over him about it. And for the record...Teddy hasnt been involved with Mike Tyson since Mike was 15, sixteen TOPS.... it was before tyson even made his mark in the open class of amateur boxing... for Teddy to constantly come off like an expert on Mike is kind of ridiculous IMO...in the grand scheme of things Teddy doesnt really know Mike at all and cant really claim to be some type of expert on the guy... after all, it's been 25 YEARS, you know??

All I'm saying is that Teddy is probably looking at it from a different perspective. And people should remember that. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and say "this person shouldn't act that way, and that person shouldn't say those things." Teddy may do it quite a bit, but in this case...I think he at least has reason.
The Lalonde issue is a different story, but the Tyson situation involved an underaged girl. Cmon. Like it or not, Teddy has made a BIG name for himself. That's why people are on the internet discussing him, and he's out spending.

Yes. I know. I'm not sure how genuine his intent to kill Lalonde was though. There are no witnesses to it. Teddy had been it the situation before, and he had a gun to Tyson's head. He didn't kill him.

Teddy says he PLANNED to K-I-L-L Donny

Teddy says he PLANNED to K-I-L-L Donny

Yes. He SAID he planned to kill him. He never even saw him though. He did see Tyson, he didn't kill him either.
