Story Goes that Atlas pulled a gun out on young Tyson while training him due to Mike making advances on of Teddys underage family members. Not sure how valid that is but its been clear that Teddy never liked Tyson. And a lot people think Tyson is overrated and when he fought the greats of his era he lost. So his opinion isn’t delusional or anything :yeshrug:

:ohhh::ohhh::ohhh:

Never heard of this

However, Atlas left the camp in 1982 following an altercation with the 15-year-old Tyson after Tyson had been sexually inappropriate with an 11-year-old female relative of Atlas' (Tyson said he had grabbed the girl's buttocks). Atlas put a .38 caliber handgun to Tyson's ear and told him to never touch his family again, or he would kill him if he did.[2] This altercation between Atlas and a young Mike Tyson led to Atlas' dismissal from the Catskill Boxing Club, and he was told he was no longer welcome in D'Amato's home or around any of his adopted children (his fighters whom he had legally adopted, Tyson included).

So they were both underage then cause a 11 year old and 15 year old are underage people. It seems to me like the girl may have let Tyson touch her but Teddy just didnt like the idea of his white family member dating a brolic black 15 year old and decided to intervene. There no reason why a trainer would get dismissed like that over one altercation unless he was in the wrong. :yeshrug:

I wouldn't trust the words of a disgruntled white male against a black male in any type of situation, especially when its easier for the public to believe the white man's story.

Tyson always had mental issues
He definetly did things that u wont hear
He used to grab female butt all the time in the club
His entourage work 24/7 to make some case dissapear
One of his manager follow a girl straight to her place to give her hush money
U gotta read his book
