Teddy doesn't get the props that he should. Not only is he a hell of a trainer but I have a degree in psychology and his thoughts on boxers and life are right on point. Also he's funny and likable.
I really have enjoyed these shows, Cus was certainly an inspirational figure. I'd ask Teddy about Harry Grebb, he never seems to be mentioned and with hardly any film of him is largely unsung but what an amazing record the guy has. I wonder if Cus spoke about him at all and if Teddy knows much about him.
No need for time stamps when you tell your stories I have to listen to every second. I tell all my friends if they watch any episode of Joe Rogan see the one with Teddy Atlas.
I've followed boxing for 20 years. But I've realised I didn't know anything about the game until I started listening to these podcasts. My only request would be to hear more about the technical side. So, I know what to watch for when I'm seeing one play out.
Yep. We need to hear about his reflections on training the great Jose Napolese. And also whether Amato ever spoke about the Liston-Patterson fight -- from what I've read he was totally against the match-up, because he knew how fearsome Liston was. Good to hear Teddy give Liston props for his greatness. His jab is the most hurtful I've seen in any division. No range finders. Every one a bag of bricks in the face.
Tyson has a great book called "Iron Ambition My life with Cus D'Amato" He has a lot of stories also. It would be good if Tyson & Teddy could get together one day and reminisce.
Mr Boxing That's true but Tyson Apologized if u didn't know, it has 2 million views on youtube. And as of recent Teddy hasn't been dissin him lately. Their getting older it might.
Mr Boxing If u ever check out that book "Tyson my life with Cus D'amto Iron Ambition" it's good & more then 500 pages. A lot of People don't know that Cus told Mike about a Jewish Fighter named Arty Diamond who bit a guys ear off & spit it out in Prison. Tyson didn't say that's why he bit Evanders ear but that might've been where the ear bitting idea seed was Planted. The books is a good read for any Boxing Historian. I'm looking Forward to checking out Atlas also.
@Mr Boxing context buddy .. We were all horny teens at one time and did dumb shit. You cant condemn a man for the rest of his life for something he did as a teen. Btw he was fighting grown men and being called a god while trying to stay out of prison and surviving Brooklyn NY. Havent you ever been slapped for being too forward? Now if that girl tells her crazy uncle and he pulls a gun on you and threatens your life who is handling it wrong? If a 15 yr old white kid from Catskills does it no one bats a eye and at worst he gets scolded by a parent.
I've never been a particularly huge boxing fan, but for whatever reason for the last couple years I've been catching up on the last 30 years. Mike Tyson was the first Superstar athlete of my generation ( I'm eight days older than he is ), and I loved watching him fight and I admire him still. I can listen to Teddy all day long and I hope he appreciates how much all the boxing fans out here treasure him.
When Teddy starts talking about the details of crafting the peekaboo style, and training fighters to not only be effective and efficient, but be exciting so the fighter could be marketable and make money, there is nothing better than that. I'd love to hear Teddy watch and reflect on some of his great moments in calling fights, like his reaction after the Emanuel Augustus Vs Courtney Burton Decision.
Man every time I see a new video is coming, my eyes Sparks......and have the pleasure to hear Teddy Atlas telling his stories, telling us a little about Cus...I almost could see it all.. I do find inspiration in those stores and Cus philosophy. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.
Really any of teddies stories would be good he is such a good story teller! You can tell Teddy is super humble, a boxing genius, n just a really great human being! The world is blessed to have you! I cant wait, i wish a new episode dropped everyday!
I'm always in awe of his eloquence. And beyond the boxing, every episode is a tutorial in how to be a better man. Obv his father is his guiding light. My father was a doctor for kids with leukemia, who worked from 7-8 every day and never missed a day's work, so can empathise.
@@alistairhann2094 my dad was a selfmade millionaire, raidio n tv host, he pointed teddy out to me! N i agree 100%! Were blessed to have these stories !
Totally enjoyed this,always enjoy these. Teddy tells the best stories, as exceptional as Teddy is, it's especially a treat to hear the stories of his mentor. My hands down favorite story was the speeding story.
Hi Teddy and Ken.. Love this podcast so so much.. I love the way teddy's face lights up when speaking about us brits.. He is dearly loved here..especially in South Wales.. As a suggestion for a podcast.. Maybe some stories from the UK and Ireland.. It would be interesting from an historical context too. And teddy would have been here through some testing times. 70s 80s..and met some real characters.. Keep up the good work guys. X
Did i enjoy it? Like ive said before, i wish my dad were still alive! This is something we would do together! I remember him saying, were watching boxing i was a kid, thats teddy atlas, great trainer! He passed his love of boxing to me! Ya im in quarintin, got up this am let my dog out, my best friend, 4 legged fur missile, got coffee n spent the first part of my day in awe! I love listening to teddy's stories! Haha "look at that power" Cus shouts! Haha i was laughing so hard multiple times this am i had to run it back cause i was missing parts! I hope you have that contest, ill think hard about a question, ive always wanted to drive a Lambo! Ha that was great episode! Stories about Cus are awesome! N Teddy u are a LEDGEND! THANKS FOR A GREAT START TO MY DAY!
I’ve read teddy’s book quite a few times over the years it’s one of my favourites. and this is my favourite podcast, I think teddy should write a book about his 8 years with cus, I’m sure it would be great, thanks for this -Tony
Teddy atlas’s insight and knowledge goes far beyond boxing . The new types of fighting.. MMA and such and it’s trainers and the whole of it will never replace the old school of boxing and all that it represented.
What can I say... These two episodes are absolutely brilliant. Thank you Teddy for sharing stories about Cus, also that impersonation of Cus is also outstanding 👏
What great stories. I could listen to them all day. I've always found Cus D'Amato and his training methods to be a fascinating subject, and Teddy is no less interesting. Informative and entertaining. Keep him talking, Ken.
I'd like to hear more about D'Amato's life story. How he took the right path growing up around very bad people like Dutch Schultz, and dealing with a game run by guys like Frankie Carbo when he started out.
he's been reported to have advised ALI (who solicited it, apparently)to go right after Foreman at the opening bell and land a lead right hand and sting him, as if to ''remind him who you are''.I paraphrased, sorry. when you see that 1st rd., that's what he's trying to do. and he does. but the rope-a-dope was what did it. see 'when we were Kings'.Cus isn't in it, but it won an Oscar for best feature length doc.
It's always fun and educational hearing Teddy tell these stories. It reminds me of sitting with my grandpa and his friends telling stories of back in the day.
Subscribed! Not sure how I came to watch part II first, but I am glad I did. Part II has given me a great intro and insight to possibly the greatest part of that legend, the highly highly impressive (proper man) Sir Teddy Atlas. What an absolute pleasure to listen to a smart, honourable, LOYAL (yes, its a huge word), witty, articulate, ultimate brother and father of any man, who on top of all that has the keenest eye for how to look after your own and recognise how to take down the foundations of your foe. I always knew mike Tyson had a truly ugly side but my stronger belief is that the people who have fully enriched the public arena should be be hugely rewarded and loved (wasnt it better in the 80s, when you didn’t know anything about their private life?) As far as I'm concerned, I dont care which bookworm with no fighting bone in his body thinks who is the greatest. Tyson at his prime, is the only UNSTOPPABLE FIGHTER the world has ever seen, that trumps the who's the greatest argument. That legacy would not have stood a chance without Cus and Teddy - FACT. The podcast is beautifully anchored by Ken who knows when to cut in at the right times and move on to the next anecdote. Ken clearly has traditional respect, patience, humility, and refreshingly (take note whippersnapper) he responds and adds to Teddy's tales and jokes, he feeds the storyteller. This all helps the teacher to flow and keep on track with so many emotional memories flooding back into his mind good, bad, high. low, but Sir Atlas always maintains his old school code of honour, class, character, with a healthy bit of street story telling thrown in. Thanks also to the chap who introduced the show and is part of this quality production. What a panacea to the weak limp lefty c0mmun1sssst crap we are all weakly putting up with in the so called modern nerd society of forced not earned not given inclusion. Strange how so many men who fight are the good people in this world, or is it a necessary part of real life where people need each other and there are responsibilities and consequences?
Best one so far, great stories. Sounded like a great place to be as a fighter - up in Cus' house during that time period. I love hearing stories about him. Absolute legend.
These 2 episodes are fantastic! Please more of the Cus' stories. A LOT MORE! Please! These were historically significant, and just amazing to listen to! Love the show!
IT IS NOT ENOUGH, Teddy!!! I already read through Tyson's book iron ambition about cus d'amato, all the videos on RUclips about Cus. Come on, tell me a little bit more about cus's wisdom and magic .
'cause it means someone made a sauce. it takes a while, and it's always special. you can store the un-used sauce in the fridge so you can put it on your freshly boiled pasta during the week, before it'll go bad.it's an event.
Hey Teddy, how are you?, quick question. I have just finished watching all of Tysons fights. Incredible..... In the early days.... I only just learnt through watching and listening that he was converted from southpaw to orthodox stance, was that a difficult transition and why did you want you to change his stance.🙏🙏🙏🥊🥊🥊 Regards Dan Galvin
1st off the beard looks good ken! 2nd I can't speak for everybody but I can definitely speak for myself, I love listening to Teddy tell stories, that man knows how to tell story ans hearing about the great cus is always a treat! Keep them coming please! Especially would love to hear more about cus lol and the peek-a-boo style!
The stories of Cus are never “belittling.” They’re funny, but respectful of the “genius” of boxing that he was. I’ve read ATLAS: From the Streets to the Ring, 2006. A great book. A father would do well to give this “Son’s Struggle to Become a Man,” to his son to read.
My mom and dad grew up during the depression and they were the same way about food. My mom and dad always grew a great garden. My mom kept a pantry. And it was always full. My dad loved to cook and bake. Food was a sacred part of life. They always emphasized not to waste food. We could all learn a lot from the older generation.
I'm sure Teddy would have done a great job too. I think the key thing with Tyson was that physically, he was obviously in a different movie to just about anyone. His issues were all on the psychological side. Cus mainly looked after those and frankly many trainers could have handled the physical and boxing side with such a talent as Tyson.
Heisenberg 2420 ye Rooney did a great job Rooney and tyson together was unstoppable! Just wondered if tyson would’ve got less further with atlas is what I mean
They are all fantastic but this 2 parter has been something really special. For us Boxing fans knowledge like this is like a Christmas present or something.
Thank you, guys! Love the Cus stories and could listen to them all day. Can you do some more of these please fellas? I would love to hear about Cus's thoughts on Muhammad Ali and the advice that he gave Ali, on the phone, before the fight with George Foreman. Cheers from Australia.
Thank you, Teddy Atlas, for sharing your deep knowledge. I am taking it all in, soaking it up. You are a tremendous, fine student of Cus D'Amato, and a genius trainer in your own right. It's like you are training the listeners in the fighter's way of life, and in its rich, practically mystical, intellectual history. The wisdom and joy are palpable in these podcasts. Thank you.
Being comfortable in a uncomfortable moment, situation. TRAIN THE FOCUS!!! TRAIN THE MIND ENDURANCE!! TRAIN THE BREATHING TECHNIQUE !!! 💯%‼️ FACTS TEDDY👌
Here's a question for Teddy : " Do you feel like Cus was almost a second father for you, at times where you seldom saw your father because he was away or busy, and Cus filled up that gap ? "
Definitely enjoyed this, one of the best yet. Really laughed out loud at the hot dog craving story. Teddy has a great way of telling a story. Ken lays back and just adds enough to make it a conversation. Much appreciation for both you guys, and the kid Rob. Priceless entertainment.
The importance of hydration is vastly understated in combat sports. Nearly all fighters cut water weight, and each drop under optimum not only hinders performance but massively increases sensitivity to concussion.
I love how Teddy Atlas tells these stories ! I felt like I could actually see the people and places he mentioned. Hey maybe someone will do a movie about Cus D’Amato and his Staff in the Catskills .
Well, they actually are doing a movie about cus. Going to be called the corner man believe and bruce willis is playing cus.. No its not a joke.. Dunno if covid is held up production or not but it is in the works. As well as a movie about tyson with jamie fox playing tyson! Def cannot wait!

What an absolute pleasure to listen to a smart, honourable, LOYAL (yes, its a huge word), witty, articulate, ultimate brother and father of any man, who on top of all that has the keenest eye for how to look after your own and recognise how to take down the foundations of your foe.

"Look at that power!" Lol 😂
Been looking forward to this.. Thanks guys. 😁👌
some things we take for granted .......kind of cute and innocent of Cus to be so exited to have spaghetti with meatballs for dinner
'cause it means someone made a sauce. it takes a while, and it's always special. you can store the un-used sauce in the fridge so you can put it on your freshly boiled pasta during the week, before it'll go bad.it's an event.
Teddy didn't pull any punches w/ the ''sewing '' story. Cus, rest his soul, was off his rocker. but a genius. the Rockne of boxing.
Hey Teddy, how are you?, quick question. I have just finished watching all of Tysons fights. Incredible.....

Any chance of a PART 3 GUYS? Amazing show guys 👏
Huge fan of teddy and a massive fan of tyson.. would’ve been interesting seeing teddy train tyson wen he was pro instead of Rooney.
I'm sure Teddy would have done a great job too. I think the key thing with Tyson was that physically, he was obviously in a different movie to just about anyone. His issues were all on the psychological side. Cus mainly looked after those and frankly many trainers could have handled the physical and boxing side with such a talent as Tyson.
Rooney did great fukn don king pulld him away from rooney..rooney wasnt the problem mike would of been great with rooney
Heisenberg 2420 ye Rooney did a great job Rooney and tyson together was unstoppable! Just wondered if tyson would’ve got less further with atlas is what I mean
Or with Rooney.there was nothing wrong Kevin Rooney
Does anyone know what happened to Rooney? Seemed to drop off the face of the earth when Tyson ditched him.
Thank you Atlas!! Great moments!
So much knowledge Cus had on boxing and psychological issues of the fighters mind..Legend!
Such a great interview, comes across so natural & effortless just like two dear old buddies on the porch shooting the Breeze and what stories!
They are all fantastic but this 2 parter has been something really special. For us Boxing fans knowledge like this is like a Christmas present or something.
Teddy could do a 10 part series on cus and I would watch it. I would watch cus stories every week . Love it.

That was wonderful. I’d listen to those stories for that month easy
I had been wondering about part 2.this is great!!
Love this sooo much thank you Teddy and Ken for giving us some fantastic insights and topics. Best boxing PC on YT
Brilliant stories, it's awesome when Teddy makes a voice like Cus d'Mato. We need more stories, keep them coming :-)
Thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Thank you, Teddy Atlas, for sharing your deep knowledge. I am taking it all in, soaking it up. You are a tremendous, fine student of Cus D'Amato, and a genius trainer in your own right. It's like you are training the listeners in the fighter's way of life, and in its rich, practically mystical, intellectual history. The wisdom and joy are palpable in these podcasts. Thank you.
Really enjoyed Teddy Atlas’s anecdotes - amazing legacy .
Cus seemed so endearing, full of charisma.
Cus D'amato is America's very own martial arts master.
Yes sir! Facts!
Probably the best episode you guys had so far Teddy, you see you don't have to talk only about boxing and stats to make it fun ;)
I love his Cus impressions. 👍👌🥊
Wonderful Stuff!!!
Gives the average boxing fan a real insight into how things really were.
Thanks Teddy
2 words: bloody awesome!

Being comfortable in a uncomfortable moment, situation. TRAIN

💯%‼️ FACTS TEDDY👌
Just an Absolutely Fantasist interview, I wish the was a part 3 and 4 .... thank you...
Great , great, great !!
Awesome interview !!
Here's a question for Teddy : " Do you feel like Cus was almost a second father for you, at times where you seldom saw your father because he was away or busy, and Cus filled up that gap ? "
Really enjoyed the stories
Definitely enjoyed this, one of the best yet. Really laughed out loud at the hot dog craving story. Teddy has a great way of telling a story. Ken lays back and just adds enough to make it a conversation. Much appreciation for both you guys, and the kid Rob. Priceless entertainment.
Thank you for this great interview and insights. Could listen to Teddy 24/7 when he tells storyies! ❤️
I love your podcast! It's great!
The importance of hydration is vastly understated in combat sports. Nearly all fighters cut water weight, and each drop under optimum not only hinders performance but massively increases sensitivity to concussion.
@20:00 wow how many legends and future legends are in this table...
Great stuff, gentlemen!
I love how Teddy Atlas tells these stories ! I felt like I could actually see the people and places he mentioned. Hey maybe someone will do a movie about Cus D’Amato and his Staff in the Catskills .
Well, they actually are doing a movie about cus. Going to be called the corner man believe and bruce willis is playing cus.. No its not a joke.. Dunno if covid is held up production or not but it is in the works. As well as a movie about tyson with jamie fox playing tyson! Def cannot wait!
The sweet science of boxing mixed into a great discussion. Great video!
Great shows keep up the great work ! Teddy Atlas!! 👨🏼🦲
