So is Teddy Atlas as tough as he says?

What say you on the thread title? Is Teddy tougher than RunDMC leather?
Well, he certainly doesn't give a shit about who he gets into heated confrontations with, that's for sure. Whether he's a tough as his temper & his convictions are is another story. I just don't know as I've never actually seen him get into a full-on fight with anyone. I've seen him in a few heated confrontations that almost escalated into brawls but they were broken up or calmed down before blows were thrown. So, while he's pretty much fearless from what I've seen I can't vouch for his fighting abilities but common sense says that the man can probably handle himself pretty damn effectively.
 
robin givens said something about him dragging girls into the school bathrooms. When it comes to mike, his image was pisspoor from the start, we aren't exactly talking about a guy who could camouflage his deeds like a Bill Cosby could, his whole image was violence, aggression and being a beast so how on earth would he ever beat any kind of a rape case? I don't know what to believe about the desiree washington situation, she was sketchy, every bit as sketchy as robin givens but she played the innocent little girl in interviews. She had accused someone of rape before and it wasn't true so who the fuck knows. Like I said, women are problems in one way or another for most men, just a part of the curse of being a man.
Desiree washington had accused her boyfriend in school of raping her. Basically her and her boyfriend had sex. Her mom found out and went mental at her. Then she said he raped her. There was some sort of investigation or charges brought and eventually the truth came out. That incident wasn't deemed admissible in tysons court case.That being said tyson has said he didn't rape her but probably deserved to go to prison for all the other stuff he got away with.
 
Back to Teddy. I actually find Teddy entertaining. I listen to his podcast sometimes and watch interviews with him.
I just find it funny that the reason he stopped boxing is always glossed over in interviews. Then he will spend 20 minites talking about how Mike tyson is a coward with no heart.
There is a reason scammers always use whiplash and soft tissue back injuries in insurance claims. They are basically impossible to disprove.

It is hard to do in modern Europe, even Eastern europe.

Cos Insurance usually doesn't cover that much as folk without Insurance thinks.
There are requirements for check up ( really isn't cheap check up ) : for example MR and USG & suregons and neurologists, sometimes even traumatolgy and rehab specs involved, neurometry etc, additionally this isn't process for 1 week or 2 weeks even if you are millionare.

Insurance companies aren't dumb and operate for profit after taxes and all expenses are paid out.
They select decent level mecial specialists and lawyers + advisors and better they agree to pay for them high salaries and contractors bucks than will agree to provide even food for possible scammers.

I liked Teddy when he used to like boxing. He seems to feel he is owed something and honestly, I can't stand to hear him talk about the sport anymore. Dropping him from the ESPN team was the best thing they ever did. He drove fans away on a weekly basis, being suspicious of literally everything that happens in the sport.

Teddy would be driving a taxi cab if it weren't for boxing. Boxing made him a star and as close to a household name as someone in his position can be. He still loves boxing when it pays out to him. Didn't hate the sport so much when he was cornering Bradley against Pac. Still has a podcast devoted to it.

I think Teddy's biggest issue is not being in the spotlight. Thats why his cornering for guys is more about the camera than offering advice to his fighter. "We're fiah men!" :rolleyes:

Teddy loves the actual sport of boxing. What he hates is the business itself as to how it's conducted. Those are two very different things that you're rolling into one.

What reason do you think that was?

I like someone who will call out BS and incompetence when he sees it and isn’t afraid to say something. The Courtney Burton - Emanuel Augustus robbery comes to mind. Could he come off as theatrical when he was cornering guys? Sure the Michael Grant incident was cringeworthy to watch.

whoever said it's something that they can't know much about is right. The "experts" don't even know how to help with sprains and such, can't even get it right half the time whether it's a disk, muscle, ligament, nerve issue.
with that said, it's too easy for people to say you're faking. I had a pretty bad back injury a couple years ago, just from all the hard physical labor I do. When I first hurt it, I kept working through the job without saying anything. But I tried to take it easy for a bit, not easy to do when people rely on me to lift heavy shit. The next week, another customer wanted me to help move a dental chair into his office, I told him i'll help but I have to be careful. Right when we got this heavy assed chair into place, my back gave out even worse than before. In the next coming weeks, when this same guy would want my help and I'd say no, or i have to be careful, he'd say "you're faking" jesus, i'm glad I don't have to do that shit now. I can stick to my workouts for those aches and pains and work around them as it suits me.

i didn't know espn dropped him, was there a reason?

Probably because all he does is bitch about how shitty boxing is when he's supposed to be commentating on the fight.

I get tired of hearing it, either way. So did a lot of people.
 
i wouldn't know, i haven't watched espn in 30 years. I used to beat up my fat brother because we'd get into fights on friday over cartoons vs. espn boxing.
 
For soft tissue they have different USGs.
Some for skin and underskin tissue, then deeper.
All each of course does cost, even paper filling does have position in detailed bill.

For example I had such a kind of detailed bill….
Survey blank filling 0,x
Registration expenses 0,x
What do you see ( scale 1,0 till 0 for each eye ) expenses x,x
Registrtation expenses 0,x
Colour test x,x
Registration expenses 0,x
Now detailed survey, expenses x,x.
Additional investigation xx, xx.
Again paper registration expenses….
Expenses to fill paper...
Additional investigation xx,xx.
Again the same Wheel ….
In total bill xxx. yy

Be happy.

USG for tissue under skin surface & tendons and soft tissue they did a) till approx 5 mm or 6 mm depth
b) with another apparatus till most likely bone
Plus MR & CT. :D:eek:
Of course again paper filling etc etc.

All this costs $$$.

----
And they can't permanently improve my Health even for 1 mil or 2 mil.

Still, last their offer was to pay 8500 EUR per year and 35 EUR for each round scheduled if they offer maximal payment from Insurance 100000....
O.K , my med hist isn't ideal but still.

Yes, and if I'm sitting in cubicle and don't do bouts, then < 2200 per year for the same coverage.
Still more than 1000 premial payments per year for them.

the story of his camacho confrontation was that camacho came in to the gym and wanted the ring cleared and they got into it. he says macho and him squared off and that he got him into some kind of hold and made him say he quit. He then says macho came by the day after and left his boys outside while he went in and apologized. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. It could be, boxers, said it a million times, don't know much about what to do when they are grabbed. But, Camacho? a guy who gil clancy called "pound for pound the strongest fighter in boxing"? I would think he should have been able to handle a mitt holder, but who knows, there were witnesses no doubt but they haven't gone through the trouble of going on the record so far as I know. The attitude that macho had in those years was something that he was definitely trying to live up to and he did. I read he broke a cops leg in some incident (like I said, a strong guy) and got into legal trouble over it.

rest and god do most of the healing for me at least so far. I don't think I've ever hurt my back that seriously though.
 
It isn't back.
My Insurance risk is 8,5% from max possible Insured expenses.
If I do something full contact.
ok, just pour some juicy liquid tenderizer on it.
