Your right I'd love to hear Atlas tell his stories...
See the ninja's got a good right kick, You can get inside by ducking his wide looping sword swings and high kick and "bang, bang!" take him down.
:rofl
I didn't realize Teddy Atlas was Rambo.

Hey I'm not knocking the mans hustle he needs that money to pay his hospital bills for the injuries he sustained carrying a whole platoon on his back in vietnam with one hand and using the other hand to fire at charlie. He was like Forrest Gump. He ran through napalm to save bubba.

You know what I want, an audio clip of Teddy Atlas doing his FNF Fight plans and when he says "Bang" when throwing his right hand... I want that on my phone for when I get a text message it goes "Bang!"
Sweet idea. If you track that down you've got to hook me up and vice versa.

I heard he went back in time and he was the true cause of making the dinosaurs extinct....he killed them all with his bare hands.
Him being tough in Rikers is suspect story. He weighed 120 pounds when Cus rescued him from having to stay there. The idea that Shannon Briggs -AND four of his friends from Bed Stuy needed Atlas to defend them was wackier.
All that stuff he does before fight, the Atlas Corner stuff, is a joke, He used to try showing that to guys in Gleasons, and got laughed at a lot. He is tough in a way, but is more BS than anything else. Not much of a trainer either.

I wish Teddy wouldve went more in detail about Rikers, I dont remember the book word for word but didn't he say he beat up some huge guy at rikers? Or he got beat up but it wasnt a problem because he showed that he stood up to him.
I think it was something of both. This big guy wanted his sneakers and Teddy went after him.The thought of him going after the guy is kinda comical in my mind.:yep

That was my take on it, plus theres little grains of truth in all the stories, even with the massive exageration and overanalysis.
I enjoyed the parts about training Moorer.
He will be more truthful in his next book, dealing mostly with how he survived and got through his short jail stint at Rikers Island. "Bend over and Take it Like a Man!" How I Survived Jail, by Teddy Atlas, Truth Publishers, with forward by Paul Malinaggi , 281 pages. Due out in 2008

Teddy Atlas and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

All I know for sure about Atlas is that he's got a fairly big scar running down the side of his face. Didn't get on the inside fast enough that time, I guess.
I read somewhere (Maxim maybe?) an interview with Teddy and he said the scar is the result of a car accident. Man, I'd hate to see the car...

It seems that in Teddy Atlas, this community may have found its own verstion of the "Chuck Norris joke."
As for helping Briggs in that fight, I think Briggs would handle himself pretty well in a street fight. A boxing ring is another story.

Teddy Atlas is the most unintentionally funny person in boxing............thats a fact....How can anyone sit through and read a whole Teddy Atlas book. I can only listen to 3 comments that he makes on FNF every week. The rest my brain filters out as giberish, Charlie Brown's parents talk "whom..whom..whom..whom"

He's different in print. Talking about Moorer-Foreman was the best part, if I remember correctly.

Atlas is a legend. I love his stories. I'm trying to get hold of his book from amazon after seeing it reviewed and laughing my ass off. I heard he only wrote the book so he could use it as a weapon.

Look up all of the IBHOF trainers, and you will find none who quote their street fighting exploits like Teddy Atlas.

who's teddy atlas?
A commentator who was a so-so professional trainer.
Also a guy who always speaks on the need for a national commission and how mismatches are terrible, but has no problem putting his own fighters in with mismatched opponents.

He was actually only a below average amateur novice. He had about 3 amateur fights, good enough for him to claim he was golden gloves. He means adarondaik (sp) gloves, not nyc ones. On efight, he beat overmatched kid. The area of upstate new york is sparsley populated, and some farm kids would enter, Cus D'amato would put his better trained kids in for easy win and experiance. Kevin Rooney won NYC golden gloves, atlas would not enter, claimed back hurt too much. Rooney also went pro, he was just club fighter type, but at least gave it a shot.
Atlas never was a pro, erratic.
I just realized you said "below average trainer" not fighter. My mistake, sorry. He sucked as trainer. Never had one success, and ruined some good prospects. (robbie Williams, Johny Venderoosa, Chris Reid) I think Michael Grant's peopl emade major mistake when they panicked and switched to Atlas after Grant lost his first time to Lewis.
