His father was a doctor in Staten Island and delivered both of my boys. Once his father came to the housing project to treat my son for a cold. He charged me eight dollars for the service, but never cashed the check. What a man. I will keep his memory forever. John Dalessio

My God! What a deep introspective talk with a humble man. Lex you have interviewed a number of highly successful and highly educated people. But none as human and as wise as Teddy Atlas. What a remarkable man. Inspirational and willing to expose his own failings as he advances in the journey of life.

Damn. This is probably one of your best guests. Best episodes. And you did everything you needed to in order to help that come out. He did too. But it’s the virtue of dialogue.

This was good medicine for Teddy. Great job Lex. I know you must have left a few dozen questions unasked. Smart to let Teddy think deeply. Bring him back when the time is right.

Teddy. People in our neighborhood appreciate what you do for our community. You and your foundation have bought special vans for disabled people so they can get their wheelchairs in and out. I know when you came into the gym when we were kids to encourage us, it gave everybody a boost to train harder and stay out of trouble and to try and make something productive of ourselves. We are lucky to have you !

Lex set the bar high at the beginning but this episode exceeded the bar he set. Teddy is a great orator, story teller and you can feel the raw emotion and sincerity in his voice. Great episode! 🔥🔥🔥

In different circumstances Teddy could have been a poet or other artist. He seems to view the world impressionistically, with real insight.

This was a bombshell for every late 30's+ Boxing fan. I've followed these men through my youth, and I have infinitely more respect for Teddy than I'm capable of conveying. I feel like excrement, like a total A-hole for always viewing Teddy as this angry old man, that was nothing more than a hater, biter over loosing his prodigy. I despised him through his years of commentating, as did the majority of us boxing fans. None of us had any idea as to the truth of these circumstances, and I pray to God that this alters his legacy; as well as Tysons. This interview is absolutely huge, and will be spoken about for however long Tysons legacy exists. After this you should be incapable of referencing his legacy, without acknowledging the sacrifices made by this man. Tyson, though subjectively worthy of redemption, is a grotesque man, and we all gave him the benefit of the doubt via his ring greatness. Regardless of the allegations, or the scandals we just assumed it was embellished; though the truth was it wasn't. Teddy on the other hand is a sincerely great man, who did what the majority of us would like to pretend we'd do in his circumstances, but are far too weak to. His sacrifices, his willingness to stand for everything he believed in, to not sell his soul is something exceedingly rare to encounter, and I feel terrible that none of us truly knew the truth about his legacy. This man was seriously mocked his entire career, and it was absolutely undeserving. I highly doubt Teddy would see this, but man if you ever did I'm sorry. You're a better man than I, and none of us knew because he is the type of man that didn't feel the need to broadcast it to the world. I hope his contributions to the sport will be acknowledged before he's gone, and he's sincerely able to some day sit back and know that he cultivated an everlasting mark on the sport that he loved, and it was for something greater than for what Tysons mistakes nearly cost him. I'm just awe struck that after all of this he still produced 18 world champions.

More people should hear this interview, wisdom in spades. Loyalty is in short supply in this world

Wasn't until my 40's that I started realizing who my friends were. When the fun was over and I started actually needing people no one was ever there. I was always the guy helping everyone yet somehow always doing everything in my life myself.

I know almost nothing about boxing or fighting and initially had no expectations going into this conversations… But holy god this was one of the most captivating episodes I’ve heard yet. Thank you for another banger, Lex. Absolutely fantastic!

Wow, Teddy’s words about forgiveness and betrayal are epic. That has a lot of meaning to me. I’m 70 years old now and he speaks the raw truth.
