@sidharthk2793 Год назад

Legends state that Liston was 45 years when he lost to Ali and was injured on his shoulders. The second fight is clear from Ali's own reaction was fixed. Well he lost just 3 times maybe. Certainly he is the greatest boxer of all time.

@clevelandwilliams5922 2 года назад

I had a military father who raised us. We didn’t have money or the luxury, but to have a real Father in your life is a privilege. For others who never had that luxury is terrible. This is the problem with our society is a fatherless families. I wish I had Teddy Atlas as a trainer and I would out of respect & humility take everything he had to teach.

@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube Год назад

And sometimes it's best if your Father wasn't there at all. Mine was a monster and he fucked my Brother and Sister up so bad it's disgusting. I was his main target though. Why? He thought I was gay when I was little because I was so effeminate. He fucked me up the worst. The hyper violence and mental torture destroyed the roots to my proverbial tree. I waited too long to seek professional help and now I'm a complete loser that lost everything I had because the internal pain I didn't understand led me to abusing pain medication because the internal maelstrom of madness would go back into its cave when I took the pills. Anyway, enough about me. We need not only more Fathers but better Fathers as well.

I disagree with you totally about him favoring Tyson. He just knows Tyson. I know he knew a 15-year-old kid when they split up but Teddy is all about the psychological aspect of it and he's right with Tyson you can see it if you really watch for it. The thing is is I totally disagree with most of Teddy Atlas's training techniques and his fight plans. I think he just doesn't know what it takes to make a champion but he can build a very good fighter or great fighters confidence. He's lucky he had such a great teacher in CusDAmato.

@Kingkodiakbear 3 года назад

Not that Liston would have had a chance anyway, I'm sorry but although Liston began professional boxing at a later age, in 1964 when he had been training to fight Floyd Patterson whom he annihilated, he sparred with a 16/17 year old George Foreman who he said at the time "everyone I know tells me I hit the hardest, but my stable boy can hit harder than I". Whether this was true at the time or just a joke, this was not the only instance that Liston has said these things regarding Foreman before his prestigious career (and Liston's untimely death). At best he was a smaller less powerful Foreman with better fundamentals. And young Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay at the time) had the fastest hands and feet the world had ever seen terrific combinations inhumane timing and a unbelievable chin and heart that no one even knew about at the time.

@faizfahmihashim8199 3 года назад

@@Kingkodiakbear smaller, yes but less powerful? I doubt it. Liston had a thunderous and accurate jab. He knocked off Wayne Bethea's teeth. 16 pieces of them. With a jab. He manhandled Cleveland Williams, who although not as strong as Foreman, was still an incredible puncher. Liston has bigger hands then Foreman, and longer reach. Foreman might be faster, and stronger physically. But something tells me that Liston hits harder then him. Chuck Wepner said Liston hit harder than Foreman. Ali said that when he fought Goerge, he had to let George hit him, when he fought Liston, he had to make Liston didnt hit him. Of course Ali said Shavers hit the hardest. But i think looking at common opponents, Liston hits harder then Foreman. The reason Liston didnt get enough credits was that people hate him at the time and lack of competetition. George had the privilige of Pulverizing Joe Frazier but people forgot that Feazier ducked Liston. And old Liston at that. If Frazier had fought Liston, we might have had a better comparison. Liston was slower, smaller but had better fundamentals and hits atleast as hard or harder.

@Kingkodiakbear 3 года назад

@@faizfahmihashim8199 its fair to come to that conclusion, but I personally don't think anyone hit as hard as Foreman and that is not an easy point to argue with. He used to spar Sonny Liston when they were young, both Sonny and Foreman said that each other were some of the strongest men each other have ever sparred against, but sheer power would have to go to Foreman. Sonny Liston throughout his career Liston had solid fundamentals and fairly accurate punches. George Foreman was reletively inaccurate but somehow more successful. Sonny had huge hands and an incredible reach but Foreman was freakishly strong using his arms to push people around and into the ropes where he wanted them. Foreman was no doubt physically stronger and I would say even though Liston was one of the hardest hitters of his generation, Foreman was possibly the hardest hitters in any generation.

Tyson’s head movement and speed would’ve been a lot for anyone at that period to deal with. Btw, Tyson was scared as a little kid alone in Brownsville in the 70’s. Once Tyson got a little older he ran with well known street guys. All of them respected mike. Mike just wasn’t talk in or out of the ring. His intimidation factor was higher for a reason.

@damianrehbein3992 3 года назад

Foreman and espacially Liston where more intimidating. Liston was number 1 George number 2 Ali beats his head movement, and has better footwork. Foreman hit him, and had he not used his defense and went aggresive he would have lost. NO ONE goes in on Foreman or Liston. Not even Mike.

I'm guessing Ken or one of the producers told Teddy that the comments on the first video were overwhelmingly about Teddy's history with Tyson and saying its sour grapes. Teddy probably felt the need to clarify that from his perspective, he feels these are valid criticisms of Tyson that he would have even without the history they have, and that not pointing out these things about Tyson would be doing a disservice to the history that is supposed to be honest and objective, not tiptoeing around a point because he's afraid someone will think he is just being bitter. He definitely beat the topic into the ground but had he just jumped straight into it saying Tyson would lose most of those fights, people would have lit up the comment section saying Teddy is just a hater because of his bad history with Tyson.

I think Frazier’s chin was well above Tyson and his engine and heart would have made up the difference

@user-nv2wt4hi8t 2 года назад

Agree. Absolutely nothing in Tyson's career showed me he had a chin like Frazier. Also, Joe was setting up body shots, not just the left hook. Plus Frazier would run into you and lock you in the phone booth with him. Again, Teddy Atlas discounts Joe's speed, even his reflexes. If the man was quick enough to dodge repeat double hand barrages off of the fastest heavyweight in history while countering with his own shots (not just the left), why could he not do that with Tyson, regardless of if Teddy observes that Tyson also had a good right at his disposal?

@vincentdesiano4861 2 года назад

The most significant point that most people seem to miss in terms of Tyson’s decline is that his support team (his good handlers and trainers) virtually disappeared once that great snake, Don King entered the scene. Now there was no one to keep a wild, undisciplined and out of control Tyson in check. His training and conditioning suffered, but most of all, his mind was terribly distracted! Once a boxer casts these things aside, he puts himself in a weakened and vulnerable position. He sets himself up for a great fall. As l remember it, the Spinks fight was Tyson’s last hurrah. That Tyson, nobody beats!

@zibtihaj3213 Год назад

The most significant point that most people miss is that - the points you made say exactly what Teddy was saying … that when the going got tough in his career he could not deal with all that was going on and hence Tyson suffered … to be a great champ is to deal with what happens in and out of the ring , deal with it in such a way that you WIN IN THE RING . He was great but not as great as some people make him out to be . I don’t like admitting this , but Teddy is correct .

@badtrekee4348 Год назад

He then moved up to super middle and outboxed Iran Barkley who KO'd Tommy Hearns. He carried his power all the way up to super middle and was originally a light weight. Mammy can't deal with counter punches. His career shows it. Marquez is clearly his biggest obstacle and nemesis. Duran is 10x better than Marquez and a WAYYYY better boxer and counter puncher and hits WAYYYYYYYY harder. Marquez wouldn't touch a undefeated prime Ray Leonard.... But he did touch Manny, and it knocked him out. Duran is on another level. He will hit Manny and he will knock him out. This is a guy not even Marvin Hagler wanted to exchange with.

A 135Lb Duran was so far beyond Castillo and DeLaHoya in terms of skills, defensive tech, ferocity, and sudden power you can't even see him.

They just jump on a hype train and suddenly that guy is the greatest ever, yet they never saw anybody else ever to be able to HAVE THE AUDACITY to proclaim that statement. Here's one I truly hope Teddy and the show does. Lightweight. Roberto Duran vs Julio Ceasar Chavez. My father is a Duran fan and for good reason. I love Duran. But.....Chavez at Lightweight and the style he fought with his infighting, using his head and being able to punch with either hand inside aaaaand the body work..... NOBODY went to Durans body really, Chavez would and Chavez at lightweight was hitting so hard legendary fighters like Edwin " El Chapo " Rosario, his body reacted to the body shots as if each blow was mini concussing his body. Like his brain went into survival mode and pumped blood from his body to his brain so he could maintain being in the fight. I forget what round it was but Rosario complained to his corner that his arms weren't working like they should and he didn't know why, he was having problems with his arms. That's power. Insane power. I know Duran was known as " Manos De Piedra " but many fighters were never the same ever again after fighting Chavez. Rosario was one, Meldrick Taylor was another. My money is on Chavez, my Pop's is on Duran, please, please, PLEASE do Chavez vs Duran at lightweight, please, thanks 😊

Tyson vs Tua is also really difficult to say because Tyson wins most on knockout but I don’t see that happen with Tua but on points it could go to Tyson if he stands the punishment.

@alcottdevalte7440 4 года назад

@soup and old clothes Interesting facts, ali never got ko`d and tyson never lost a decision. I am sure it would have gone the distance. Ali would dance on his toes clockwise and throw hooks and jabs to keep tyson away. Tyson would cut the ring while bobbing and weaving while using the jab to set up the combination punches. Ali would clinch and move sideways while faking the body punch and throw a left hook afterward. And when ali would do the shuffle, tyson would jab to the body to keep him away, lol. Imagine ali the night he fought cleveland williams/zara folley against tyson the night he fought trevor berbick or michael spinks.

He stopped training as he used to do, the other trainers didn't understand cus d mato`s peekaboo style, and he also had a crazy lifestyle considering he was the champ.

Because maybe Teddy doesn't know that Ali or Foreman had the same weaknesses that only his wife may know about and in private they were weaker than Tyson? Also and I think a lot of us think this, Tyson showed those weaknesses after he lost. Would Foreman really keep a 21 year old Iron mike off with his jab? Would Ali really stop a 21 year old undefeated unstoppable iron mike? Is Teddy's personal knowledge not in fact hindering his ability to judge this fight?
