Teddy Atlas on Pulling a Gun on Mike Tyson, Training 18 World Boxing Champions (Full Interview)

- In a recent interview with VladTV, legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas recounted his early life growing up in Staten Island, New York. He spoke fondly of the historically green neighborhood as being symbolically on top of a hill, while the tougher neighborhood of Stapleton was at its base. Drawn to this harder world, Atlas soon found himself in trouble. After skipping school, he was involved in an altercation that resulted in him getting badly cut across the face, which required 400 stitches. Later in the interview, Atlas detailed his entry into amateur boxing and his relationship with legendary coach Cus D'Amato. He also talked about his interactions with a young Mike Tyson before breaking down his career as a boxing trainer who's worked with over a dozen world champions.

Teddy makes this. Vlad literally does nothing. Teddy is an incredible story teller.
Like Lord of the rings 8s a great action movie
Facts gotta thank teddy a million for setting everything up appropriately cause vlad was horrible lol
Really? Because I felt like Teddy is so annoying that I'm about to skip to someone else. Granted I'm only 10 minutes in but this guys all over the place ZZZzzzzz....
Vlad doing nothing - is how every Vlad interview should be.
So what exactly is your point? You’re here to watch a good interview and you did so, so why speak on it
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE, WELCOME TO VLADTV!!!! This is your first time here, so I wanna start in the very beginning. And that’s how we’re gonna end it. Teddy Atlas, always a pleasure, until next time, PEACE!!!
This sitdown feels like it could have went for another hour or two. The great Mr. Atlas is a living boxing encyclopedia. I hope he comes back and tells more stories. Peace to the universe. 🦍💙
Teddy Atlas is fascinating!
i spoke to teddy twice in my life, he has no idea who i am i'm sure - look at how many people he helps and talks to, but i'll never forget my talks with him. Once was in 1996 or 97 - i can't be sure, but it was in staten island, golds gym next to the old U.A. movie theater. I recognized him right away, said hi - he smiled said hello like a holyfield counter punch, (no hesitation) and we were off and running, talking about everything, - boxing of course, he was so humble and a delight to talk to i could not believe what i was seeing, i mentioned chris bird and how i thought he had the potential to be a champ, teddy disagreed but very respectfully. Short of the long is that this man was such a gem that i had to break it off after about an hour and say something to the effect of alright i'm gonna get back to this work out etc.. the 2nd time was in an actual movie theater with a cop friend of mine, who introduced me to him on the fly in 2010, after the opening of batman. We were all leaving, my friend noticed him leaving also and once again we were in the lobby talking for about another hour, almost exclusively boxing and again my friend had to say alright teddy i got to be up tomorrow etc.. etc... here my friend and myself 2 nobodies cutting the talk short with a living legend... and make no mistakes about it, this man is so good in so many ways, that people will only realize his greatness when he's gone, what a special man and what a special gift to the planet.. his charities his great real talk about life, boxing etc.. his generosity.. his desire to be the man his father was, and his belief that he won't even come close, driving him to do more good for the world. People have no clue how special a gift this man is to anyone an everyone he touches, he's right about tyson and he's not a damn hater - people are so ignorant and predictable and will only miss this guy when he's not around anymore.
we didn't shake hands just started talking, but he was a golden gloves champion so if it were between him and you, in his prime i think you would get exposed just like tyson! me - i'm better in the street, and on the blind, i got 2000$ quick money fight between you an me, bare knuckle chokes, etc... ways to win are k.o. of course, choke out of course, or you or myself verbally quitting. i live at 90 green valley rd, s.i. n.y. 10312 my names paul, it would be a pleasure and an honor to see who wins the 2000$. serious - no hard feelings afterward! if your new york, you got to stop by for a goof, and a quick 2000$, you sound like your prob a sure thing to win that deuce. Im almost rootin for you - almost
I met him a few years ago at his charity event, homie locked eyes with me and gave me one of those looks like an old friend you haven’t seen in years but I’ve never met him before lol he reached to shake my hand with the firmest grip and told me it was an honor to have me hear. I couldn’t even introduce my name yet or tell him how much of an honor it is to meet him before your humbling aura beat me to the punch lol great man!
Cracks me up that Teddy doubted Byrd. I can understand why he would at that time though.
lol, absolutely! byrd wasn't putting much behind his punches at the time, and that was his reasoning when we talked. But he didn't do a 180 from the prediction, he complimented byrd, but threw subtle hints to the contrary and his lack of power at the time was his reason. My opinion was that with speed over time the power would improve enough for him to reach that high level, but we moved on pretty quick - i even asked him gently about tyson , if they had spoke yet and he just looked at me and said no, as he shook his head. You could see the disappointment in his eyes for sure, so i moved on to another fighter and never spoke another word of tyson.@@Priceluked.
yeeep, james smith you seen the same thing as myself - it's almost like meeting a dog at the dog pound, once they feel your not a threat, - THERE GOES THE TAIL WAGGING..and they can't get enough of you, even tho he's the accomplished well known, it almost makes no sense this man could care less about vanity in anyway and is not stuck on any past achievements, and just has this awesome genuine humility and kindness, that for the lack of a better comparison - i can only liken it to a dog!!.. And just like a dog tho, the 2nd time i met him, he must have been a little spooked to turn around and see me at 6'0 ft hovering close, he looked like he was about to snuff me in self defense.. just for a couple seconds tho, then when my friend made the connection and he felt safe - there went the tail.. wagging again, and we were good to go!! lol@@JamesSmith-ov5um
I like when Vlad brings boxing people on, Teddy is a good storyteller too
This is a powerful interview with so many jewels that people who only think surface level or tyson fanatics will ignore.
You couldn't tell me nothing about Tyson when i was growing up but objectively speaking ...Tyson was the petulant child who knew they could get their way and use tactics of manipulation and deception to achieve that.
Seen that behavior in alot of enabled and coddled children that are highly favored by their guardians..cus was going do whatever ot took for him to become champion.. even at the expense of letting unsavory behavior slide.
He eventually became & projected the ways of the bullies that he ran from as a child and hid in abandoned buildings from...he became the very thing he despised and was afraid of.
I got some jewels from teddy honestly and i can look at things without favoritism for one of my favorite athletes
Teddy will always be transparent and authentic.. that's something i respect even tho at times to his own fault sometimes and he isn't always right
Sit down and shut up
Take a seat and don't speak for 25 years
Yeah they knew how to control a child's mind. Mike tyson was manufactured. They made him different.
Awesome Commemt, I've also idolised Iron Mike all my life too. This was an eye-opening interview, to say the least.
❤❤❤
Great interview!!
Teddy thank you for everything you do for our neighborhood. I know several people personally that your foundation helped and there was never anything in the news for you to get recognition. You did it just to help. Thank you.
exactly, the best old philosophers say - do good and throw it into the ocean - teddy knows this...
Profoundly proficient interview.Teddy Atlas is awesome 👌🏾 👍🏾
Riveted my attention the entire interview...👏🏽
I could listen to teddy all day and night .. nothing he doesn’t know about boxing .. he can go deep into a fighters soul and can read people and fighters it’s crazy
I'm glad Teddy is still around he's 1 of a kind!
Great interview
An OUTSTANDING interview ❣️❣️❣️👍🏽👍🏼🥰☺️
Teddy is the goat of stories and a great motivator…he makes u feel and understand what he’s saying
I've watched several of your videos. I'm not a boxing fan per day, but this was my favorite interview. He is interesting, and seems to give honest answers. Hope his book does well, I'll try and get it from the library.
Boxing is filled with great stories and people
Vlad isnt in the same room when he does these interviews? Pretty strange lol
Teddy lives in the East Coast. When Vlad interviews East Coast people, Vlad is remote and the guest is local.
Nah he’s on a screen
I think he lives in LA currently so most in-person interviews are in LA unless it's a "big" interview
He would have got bashed multiple times if in the same room
Lame
Thank you so much !
❤❤❤
I was a member for a while, but let it lapse when I got a new debit card. This interview made me become a member again, I could stand to have this chopped up. I needed It all
This is free on RUclips though
@@Amethyst_Friend I don't wanna wait weeks for Vlad to upload the interviews in their entirety.
Oh I see, I'm new to the channel! I guess my comment was kind of silly.@@emmanuelsilvera8032
I met Mr. Atlas in 2015 in Indian Wells, CA. He was poolside enjoying a book... I spoke to him for a few minutes and got a picture. He's a cool dude for sure.
It's 2024 and Vlad still doesn't have the timecodes smh
Not one flashback during the ENTIRE interview. Not one. Vlad slippin'!!!
Lazy ass interview fr
He's getting better--those interruptions suck
Did Vlad ask Teddy if he knew Tupac or Suge Knight?
Teddy is a good dude. .
How does teddy explain Razor Ruddock?
What a great guy
Wow this is the best episode
Teddy is an amazing human being, what a story teller, wow
Teddy Atlas is great ❣️👍🏽👍🏼😊
O shit it's the guy from fight night...one of the greatest video games EVER🤓
Any body else have to keep checking the video is playing because his pauses are so long 😂?
Tyson was, and always will be, the Frankenstein of boxing. Teddy seems like a great coach, though. Good man. Good soul.
Virtual VLAD in the House
Razor Roddick and Tyson’s was a great fight.
Wondering if he went to school with the WU TANG CLAN?
I’m not gonna front him talking about Forman just made me turn around from walking to the liquor store that was a dope and inspiring story
I like how Teddy says you have to control yourself outside the ring and proceeds to put a gun to Tysons head.
Because of what Tyson threatened to do to his family member
36:00 .this guy the real real deal busting steel with purpose is a whole different ball 🎯😮
Dude it's not the catskills we are not in the catskill mountain we are just Catskill NY in the Hudson Valley
Hes a tough listen.....sometimes I just think 'wtf are you talking about?'
Zero dislikes so far 👌🏿
👀🦋🐝Mike Tyson's Punch Out NES🥊🥊🏆🏅🎖️💎 1987🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇲
Brought teddy on talk about nothing but Tyson smh
Teddy was a G
Long winded….. a lot of editing 😂💯
We need a Bob Arum interview and don king
Next up Tyson vs. Douglas replay...
I like Teddy by the way
One of the best yet. A nice break from thugs complaining about petty beefs . More like this please VLAD .
Teddy is hilarious and one of my favorite narcissists to watch. The over dramatic talk and opinions are always entertaining.
@alcottdevalte7440 narcissist?? Really? I'd have to say that Teddy's job is black and white proof that he's definitely not a narcissist. The definition of a narcissist is not caring about anyone but yourself. And narcissist certainly could careless about anyone else being successful.
Butterfly knife 🦋🦋
Why does it take so looooong to get to his point?
Yeah, that's absolutely true. Try watching Teddy's RUclips/Podcast stuff. It drags out for 3+ hours.
He explains his perspective and frames his point before making it
I asked teddy the time one day and I walked away knowing how to build a clock
Because he’s from Staten Island, ya dig ?? 🤌🏻
Some people are naturally good at formulating their thoughts and getting to the point, some not so much. Teddy has a brain that tends to cast too big a net without the ability to retrieve it in a straight line.
Teddy Stevie Wonder saw that Headbutt Evander did to Tyson.
Let’s go freedom and unity family worldwide it’s time to unite family
I think Angelo Dundee was the best trainer and still believe he was the best. The thing when he didn't throw in the towel for Ali was his bad spot !!!
Teddy is an awesome talker .. but surely he seen Botha fight ..Bonecrusher fights ..razor ruddock fights ..first bruno fight .. an the losses holly 1 . Douglas ..lewis ..not like he laid down an quit an didn't try .. he dug deep an tried to win when things were hard .. just like 12 year old in the gym getting beat Up an wanting another round ...he deffo didn't show alli kinda heart etc. But he showed at times when tough got going he did pull thru an win .. an the 3 times I mentioned he didn't manage to win .he did try until he was litterally best to stoppage .. he took beatings in them fights ..an he was swinging an trying to win ..imagine if he landsd a shot an stopped lewis or holly ..then wud teddy give him credit for digging deep an going fhru adversity ..or just say he got a lucky punch. he didn't lay down an quit... but yeah I guess hollyfield 2 an macbride happened also . So he had it in him .. bot as solid a man mentally as some of the others
Didn't razor ruddock give tyson adversity that tyson over came?
Why does it seem like Teddy has hiccups? Does he have some sort of condition?
Wondered the same thing 🤔
@@LB38Xsome sort of tic he has
It is your choice but the environment shapes human behavior… enough of these people who slip thru the cracks .. it dosent have to be that way teddy !
This wasn’t a great interview and you’re are to blame Vlad. Ask Michael Jai White all these boxing match up questions but didn’t ask Teddy any. You 💩 the bed.
Teddy was envious of D’Amatos admiration for Mike
Hiccups??
CATSKILL BABY
Nobody watches this bc u milked the shit out of this interview
Teddy despises Mike. Lol
Bitter is the word
He speaking facts tho
@@troybracy2915 He's speaking his truth and Mike has his truth. We are just viewers, we don't know what the truth is.
@@jsanders9975 dude said he despises Mike how he know that??
@@troybracy2915 That's my opinion based on his comments. I don't know him personally.
We wouldn't know Teddy Atlas, if it wasn't for Mike Tyson.... He needs to thank Mike.
Cus*
Nah, he's trained multiple world champions. Real boxing fans know him; casuals probably not.
Go watch the documentary “Watch Me How”. Teddy trained Tyson, may be no Tyson without Teddy
@@tko8218 AFTER Tyson, he worked with multiple champions... So name the multiple champions he trained from scratch (amateurs)??
You were not listening
Teddy Atlas & Donald Trump sound alike lol
NY cats
Is teddy blind?
This dude is a drama Queen. How is he crying over something that NEVER happened (besides getting beat on) when he was a kid????
Ahhhh the good ole canelo hater 🤡🤡🤡🤡
1 st
Shut up, leave Tyson out. With out Mike who are u again???
omg boorrring
sounds like a poser as a youth.
He didn’t have to be robbing/stealing…his father was a doctor
A great interview, but you can clearly tell that Teddy has a bias toward Mike.
thats what you think your seeing, but he knows tyson better than you, and any 20 people you know. He's only telling what he knows, and that prediction about mikes disqualifying lose to holyfield articulates this perfectly, weren't you listening don't you know how impossibly ridiculous a prediction that was?? YET HE WAS RIGHT, and he mentioned one of the 3 ways tyson would do it, by biting - your just in love and snake charmed by the front tyson puts on these days, which teddy was also right about, his innate ability to blend into his surroundings. I'm not saying tyson is a p.o.s. i think he became a better man over the years, but teddy is one of the men you can thank for that. p.s. if teddy wasn't carrying a bit of resentment for what tyson did not just to his cousin, but to teddy's relationship with cus HE WOULD NOT BE HUMAN! so if he is, i don't blame him.
Sounds like a hater smh. What else is his legacy??
A boring interview Vlad.
This was a great interview
Shut up, Mike.
