#406 – Teddy Atlas: Mike Tyson, Cus D’Amato, Boxing, Loyalty, Fear & Greatness

And like I said, I was over 9, 10 years old. And he got mad at me. He goes, go to bed. What are you doing up? I said, I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you. And he said, well, go to bed. I said, no. What were you doing? He said, I was at the hospital. Why were you there so late? You know. He answered me. He said there was a patient. It was a sick patient.

I said, he must be better now because you're his doctor. Because my father can fix anything. My father, nothing got in the way of the truth. Nothing. Nothing. Even blowing his son's bubble. Matter of factly, he said to me, no, he's not going to get better. He's going to die. And, um, So as a nine-year-old kid, you're a kid, you're selfish. Not in a bad way, but you want what you want.

And I said two things. First I said, how? You're his doctor. How? It can't be. And then I said, I just said it almost angry. Then why were you there? Like you should have been here with me. Yeah. And you know what he said to me? Because you don't give up on life. Go to bed and give up on life. And that's, I finally connected the dots. This idiot that didn't graduate high school.

I finally connected the dots. I was asking cuts to give up on life. You don't give up on life. You don't give up on aspirations of life. Life is all forms of life. It doesn't have to be a physical form of it. It's life. It's having a reason to be alive. It's having a reason to have tomorrow. And Custer's only reason to have tomorrow was to have another heavyweight champ.

And Teddy Atlas, even though we were together all those years and we were partners and we trained together and we were, you know, the only thing we didn't do was what they did in the Indian movies where they cut the finger and they became blood brothers. That's the only thing we didn't do. And I felt like we did that without cutting. Yeah. And now here we are. And he freaking betrayed me.

I want to be the great gracious guy right now. Say, oh, I'm so human that a man's man enough to say, sorry, that's it. We're good. I want to be, really, that's the best presentation of Teddy Atlas I could put out there. He's a good guy. He forgives. He's a good guy. He's a stand-up guy, and he's a good guy. I'm not sure.
