Exactly people forget how good of a Light Heavyweight he was. He was knocking out everybody. It was only as a Heavyweight that he lost. He was good enough to win title but lacked mobility with the extra weight.

I really liked Moore in the 90's. I didn't expect him to lose to Foreman, no one did. His fights with Holyfield, were a sign he was a great talent. When you look at his record, he really only lost to Foreman and Holyfield in his prime. Outside of Foreman, he had a great Heavyweight run. He beat Holyfield, and what people forget is that Holyfield suffered from some serious injuries in that fight. Also, his big fights were all won with Teddy as trainer... LOL. He lost to Holyfield after switching to Freddie Roach, who is a great coach, but even Lennox Lewis lost his first fight under Emanuel Stewart. He should have had a winnable fight after the switch, but losing to Holyfield was the beginning of the end of his career. When he lost to Tua, he was already past his prime.

Teddy = legend... Would love to hear him on the Moorer v Foreman fight. Big George was right - the time came when Moorer stood in front of him... Also the occasion of my favourite sequence of commentary in all sports between Lampley and Clancy... "It happened. It happened... So some of the old power was still there after all." ... Moorer was a monster at cruiserweight tho.

Teddy was spot on in their game plan against Holyfield. When Holyfield started to Bob & dance was when Moorer jabbed into that Bob to upset Holyfields momentum.

I love teddy atlas stories. So motivational

I could listen to T.Atlas for hours . Just wish you guys had more visibility. Often Teddy drops some gems, not just about boxing but about who we are, and how we cope with adversity or fear of adversity, That said please do a "special" on Moorer vs Foreman. I was 18 years back then. Like any 18 years old kid, we do not think we will get old. So Foreman's message of age not being a barrier was not really targeted at me. But I see a 45 years KO the champ, and become champ. I know Teddy was on the other corner but he is part of that moment, a moment where I with 18 years old, I realize that while we cannot really break the the laws of physics we can bend them sometimes, with will, wits and a lot of heart.

I always think about Kevin Rooney. We get so much great material from Atlas, from Tyson, and about Cus, but it seems we never hear enough about/from Kevin Rooney

In the entire boxing world, there isn't anyone else like Teddy Atlas. Ring, boxing, life and World knowledge unlike any one else. What an awesome human being. Appreciation and respect. Thanks a lot. 🙏👍🙂👏👏

I watched what were brief clips of Atlas when I was a young amateur boxer (25 years ago) and always thought I’d love this guy to train me as he’s got such a strong grasp on psychology of life and fighting. I loved my old coach but, you can do it, don’t be scared etc don’t exactly cut it sometimes lol. Anyway I’m so pleased we can see more of his wisdom here even if it is 20 years too late for me lol

I am going to listen to this from time to time Great wisdom and lessons This is full of so many gems here Deep stuff

I think it's time to do a Teddy Atlas movie. It would be great. Starting with the life of his father. Loved this btw, my favourite episode so far simply incredible

Awesome idea for a series of shows!👍🏽

Teddy is a beauty👍 So glad I found this podcast

Absolutely fascinating!

Thanks Teddy for that story of the boxer who acted like he did not care to emotionally, physically survive against dealing with putting his self out to be vulnerable in order to test his ability to really win. I spoke to me - you are The Great Master!

Sorry, but he didn't beat any good fighters at that weight. Never fought Virgil Hill (the recognized number one and an average champion at best). Moorer looked devastating facing poor fighters in a poor division.

Thanks The FIGHT. I remember Michael Moorer, a bit before my time - fair to say he was a good fighter, and it makes sense - he seemed a bit non-fussed at times, but he came across as an intelligent contender, not just the 'brute force' type heavyweight... One things for sure, Teddy would have got the most out of him, and I'm glad for both Teddy and Michael. Congratulations Teddy on the title, the more I hear about you the more I like - i'll get your book one day, make sure my kids read it too...when they're old enough.
