Dave is smart enough not to ask why Teddy put a gun to him

Tyson was 15 and Atlas was 25. Tyson was a heavyweight amateur star and Atlas was a trainer with a reputation for street fighting and brawls with boxers.

‘I WOULD FOCKING SMASH him’ 13 years old IRON MIKE TYSON

This is the 1st time I've heard Mike answer that question 😮

He put a gun to his head to protect a child from Tyson.

watch the long middle section of the Lex Fridman podcast to hear the story. It's a wild one. Teddy doesn't throw Mike under the bus but yes there was an allegation that, if taken to police, would have ended a career before it could even start. Mike had been arrested 30 times by age 12 and Teddy was trying to give him purpose. But their story took a sad turn, with Cus D'Amato. watch the pod.

Mike literally changes this story in every interview. I literally just saw one where he said he was 15. He said Teddy was leaving and he got mad Mike wasn’t going with him but if that was true Teddy wouldn’t have been fired by Cus because he would’ve already been gone. Idk man I think he touched the wrong girl and got a gun put in his face

love Mike but we all know he was a troubled youth, Teddy had valid reason to do that, this is why most of Mike relationships got sour, its largely due to how he was as a person back then

Everyone paints Tyson as an angel...when there is plenty of evidence to suggest he took advantage of women. Including his own words, and a rape conviction. Insane.

Mike Tyson sexually assaulted the girl atlas was defending. I’d say atlas was the big strong man because he didn’t pull the trigger.

Mike had serious problems as a kid, he was often getting into trouble for sexual misdeeds, Cus always got them dropped, all cus wanted from Mike was his boxing abilities, he should of taught Mike how to behave as a man, Mike eventually apologised to Teddy... Mike even got very heavy with naomi Campbell and Eve and many others ... and it ended with him going to jail for rape...

He did some weak things to Teddy's niece so he treated Tyson like a punk. Fair enough

Ohhh Thats why Teddy wondered if Tysons apology to him was sincere

The reason he pulled a gun was because Mike attempted to molest a young girl and teddy said knock it the F*ck off… That part was definitely left out

He has no remorse for what he did to the 9 year old. The jury ws right..

He accused Mike of doing something sexual to his daughter. Allegedly!

Was he as "big a strong man" as you were Mike, for forcing yourself onto that 11 year old girl?

Nobody really knows what happened but them 2 ...let it go folks

Please get all the facts while talking about this topic… it’s mind blowing that we prop up a convicted rapist…

Tyson could have said "yea...he every right too" instead he says this shit.. so he hasn't changed

It's when the other guy has a gun and you don't then we find out who the real tough guy is- sonny

Mike was not!!! 13

He just said in another interview he was 15 now he says he was 13

This is super edited obviously...in Mike's voice in the smash comment...what I hear silently(and knowing what Mike did to lead to that situation) is Mike basically saying "yeah I actually understood why he did that because I was a freak of nature"

13 years old MIKE TYSON is 200lbs of muscle in all fairness

And still nobody knows him personally in this comment section

Mike said he was 13. Just sayin' Edit: he also said he was 15

Best COACH!!

Don't try and make it a matter of honour. You touch and threaten a little girl in his family, then expect to learn that violence has no limits

Never believe a clip that is pieced together. The incident is true, and Tyson has since apologized to Teddy for the THREAT he made to his niece, in anger toward Teddy, for being dismissed from the program for fucking up.

Letme clear it Tyson was 15yrs old and teddy was 26. This is real

Tbf Mike was knocking out men when he was 11

Why didn't he explain why he put a gun to his head

Imagine how traumatic that was for tyson. He was just a kid. A hormonal teenager.

Maybe mike shoulsnt put hands on a young girl of teddy atlas family

Tyson should of learned young you see what happen later in his career rape case i dont believe it about the rape case

in another clip mike admits he was 15

That's Teddy trying to be relevant all these years later, because the average person has never even heard of him. Milk it for all you can Teddy... it's the American way.

Tyson was born on 1956 and mike in 1966 10 yrs gap

Why did he put a gun to his head?

They are 10 years apart… when it happ Mike was 15 almost 16 and Teddy was 25 about to be 26. FACTS

Teddys niece was 11 and Mike was 16, Teddy had to do what he needed to do to protect that 11 year old from someone that was 5 years ahead in terms of brain development

The reason why Teddy did That is because Mike Tyson did something to his sister That made Him put a gun to his head that's why Teddy did that

Ask why he did it. Mike was a Lil creepy phxr

13 year old Tyson knowing he could destroy his trainer byt still having that 13 year old mentality of "I can't beat adults" is sad tbh

Yeah Mike ..why did he do it 😊

To be fair was lucky Teddy didn’t shoot him,talking about raping a girl,yes Mike Tyson could probably beat him at 13,but the point was to scare him of hes disgusting behaviour

If it wasn't for Mike Tyson nobody would know who Teddy Atlas is today,

Teddy might of saved his life

To be fair. Tyson grabbed teddy’s nieces ass in front of his peers at the gym. Now to Tyson’s defense, at thirteen, he never learned appropriate behavior about dating, express feelings, romance, crushes, being sexually attracted or sexual interactions, or how girls or boys should treat one another. Brownsville Brooklyn was extremely violent crime, domestic violence, broken homes, poverty and social decay his entire childhood. His mom was a prostitute that brought clients home, step father wasn’t around, bio father still is and was an extremely dangerous crime boss/prastor/pimp/murder (Tyson is still afraid of him today and does not want to meet him). Sex work was rampant, Tyson was molested by a stranger violently when he was a kid. That being said, Tyson did know grabbing her butt was not okay and two he made a whole bunch of people laugh at her because he did it in front of people. Now if Tyson, like he claims didn’t mean to upset her or thought it was okay, why didn’t he apologize when she got scared and became upset. Why didn’t go to teddy to explain the situation and ask yo apologize? Teddy knew Tyson was an armed robber and gun man that stuck up drug and stash house. Tyson joined a crew and they were like Omar, robbing big drug dealers and stash house charging in armed to the teeth with guns and rifles. Teddy was from the street too, he choose to be a criminal, pursue boxing, get involved with with mafia and go into the streets despite growing up wealthy with a doctor for a dad. Teddy atlas was fucking crazy and really about that life because he liked it. Tyson knew as a street guy teddy couldn’t tell on him nor could he not respond to it like the way he did. He’d look like a chump in front of the gym and too his peers. Second if teddy yelled at tyson or tried explaining it to Tyson what he did was wrong, tyson would loose all respect for teddy and see him as a punk. Plus would tyson want to go back to juvenile hall until he was 18 in racist upstate ny state with a sexual assault conviction, loose cus, if teddy called the police. Tyson is mad to this day because A) it makes him look bad B) he got scared and is still scared of teddy which makes him mad. There’s a difference between someone who is physically intimidating, grew up rough, is mean, physically can beat the shit out of you until you die, and might go street on you…that person isn’t as scary as someone who fucking will and can plus let’s you know that they’ll fucking murder you…there won’t be a fight, drama…they’ll murder you in an none cinematic manner and they do not care about the consequences or what happens to them at all. That’s teddy atlas…. He’s fucking crazy and he’ll kill you. It’s confirmed that Teddy tried to murdering another fighter but he went to the wrong apartment and a women opened the door while someone was in the shower, teddy couldn’t find the guy’s apartment and cooled off. Teddy is crazy, violent, and most likely did dirt in the streets. He’s a great boxing analyst, coach, can be s great guy but he was and still can be a pos.

Why was that Mike?😂

Ask him why he put a gun to his head. So Mike is still a pos, and his apology to Teddy was bs.

I thought Tyson was 15 going on 16 when it happned

Teddy a much better man than you

What podcast is this?

A 28 year old pulling a gun on a 13-15 year old, not so tough

At 56 years old Mike Tyson. Would knock teddy atlas out 😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure atlas trained tyson from the age of 12-15 so even though tyson said he was 13 I think 15 is correct unless all this went down and then atlas trained him for two additional years

Why did he pull a gun is the question. Mike was doing things he want supposed to be doing… teddy warned him stop touching the girls.

She was 11 and he was 13... 2 year difference. Such a overreaction lol. I get scaring him straight but putting a gun to a kids head is crazy

Tyson inapropriately touched Teddy's niece who was much younger than Tyson at the time.

Why would Teddy do that? unless Tyson done something really nasty, was Tyson showing signs at that age of the convicted rapist to come? I would tend to believe Tedy Atlas before Mike Tyson.

He was 16

So Atlas fired a gun at 13 year Tyson near his head. Do to Tyson hitting on his niece that is two year difference. What a coward. Smh

13 or 15 he is a growen man and Mike was a still a teenager how cares that he was already a strong guy,do people really arguing about how exactly old he was 👎I can tell u I was 4 years in jail my first time with 18 MY POINT IS even with 18 and a very criminal background I was not a "MAN" not at all.thats a story many times happened on the streets evry day even to me similar story's where a growen man need to use weapons against kids/teenager to get over the situation👉🤮👉🌎

I think it was about teddy’s niece

Grown man pulling a gun on a 13 year old, I heard teddy say something about Mike & his sister but he could’ve collared him rather than pulling a gun

Allegedly Mike groped a female member of Atlas' family. Knowing what we know now I would believe it. But that's no excuse to point a gun at a kids head

Such soft reporting

doesnt mention what he was doing to get a gun put to his head tyson really is a creep

Teddy came at Tyson like that over his niece liking him 🤷🏽‍♂️that's pretty much the story

He was 16 and why is that Mike??????

This shows Tyson has not changed at all..

Dave annoying af…getting into ppls business/drama he don’t belong in

Tyson lies a lot

I know everyone loves Mike now but truth is Mike was a horrible human being for most of his life

Ive heard all kinds of different stories teddys neice tgen his daughter bla bla

Everyone bringing up the age difference. Yes Mike was 13 and she was 11 but Mike was a 13 year old raised in the streets, furthermore Mike wasn’t your typical street kid. He had unchecked emotions, violent tendencies, lack of remorse. A recipe for disaster, and as great of a mentor he had I don’t think anyone would trust 13 year old Mike with their family member.

How you a boxer pulling a gun on a kid? Teddy was scared to throw hands

Child abuse

Imagine being 30 & having to pull a gun on a kid smh

Boss move by teddy!!!

13 is the age of my son that's crazy smh. That's still a baby. He pulled a gun on a baby

Love Mike

Why didnt he smash him then? Bro got a gun put to his head and did nothing. He violated you and you did nothing mike

If you watch the now deleted Norton Graham clip where he talks about this its better. Mike shares his thoughts if he had a gun and what he would do.

I love Mike...but his attitude is definitely off in this interview...what about the girl? Teddy's niece??
