Shannon Briggs & Teddy Atlas's barroom brawl

[ben41193]

where did u hear this? Is this true?

[Easy-E]

So Teddy was the one beating up the guys???

You sure it wasn't Shannon Briggs who beat the guys up and Teddy imagined it was him?

So why did Teddy need a gun vs. a young/teenage Mike Tyson?

Because its Mike ****ing Tyson, thats why.

OK everybody, SquareCircle posted an excerpt from Teddy Atlas's book.
Im sure its based on fact, but it may be embellished a little.

This is most likely from Teddy's autobiography. Ive heard it was a good read.

Very true Altas has some screws loose and all the fights he gets into are with huge guys. Hence the big bruiser comment. I have noticed only Torres and Patterson were normal guys Dmato produced. Altas, Rooney and Tyson are all unbalanced cats.

Always wondered about D'amato's company. They say Cus wasn't all there either, funny ****.

that story was from Atlas' biography. it's a good read if you haven't picked it up yet, i liked it a lot becuase a lot of the stuff that went down at the time was kind of hush, at least for me i was a kid, but now reading all that went down in detail about tyson and boxing in general during the early 80's, it's cool to know what exactly happend, you know atlas isn't one to make **** up, so a lot of it is scary accurate.

Because its Mike ****ing Tyson, thats why.

yes, of course, but my point was it seems Teddy is facing King Kong and Godzilla in every fight it seems, but when it comes to a teenage kid, Teddy needs Smith&Weston as back up


And for Teddy's book, I will be picking up a copy before the years end.

I like Teddy Atlas. I can't find anywhere that sells his book though. I'm going to try Tower Records.
