  Thanks Teddy!! &nbsp;Cus was a good friend of my dad, who past away in 1965 when I was just 5. I heard stories of their times with him, Floyd Patterson and days at a training camp in Greenwood Lake, NY (My dad was a part owner). &nbsp; I finally got to visit him in Catskill in the early 80&quot;s, heard stories about my dad and had dinner with Cus, Camille, Kevin Rooney, Teddy Atlas and Mike Tyson...I day I will never forget. &nbsp;Mike was training for the Jr. Olympics and had a fight that night which I had a front row seat to. &nbsp;What a day nearly 40 years ago. &nbsp;I look forward to Part 2 and reading the book!

  listen..cus &nbsp;is the only trainer who has taken someone from virtually out of school to saving him from a road to death and prison completely transformed his character and turned him into world champion and a sporting icon... THAT is real... anyone can hold pads and teach someone how to throw a jab and how to move in and out effectively with a bit of knowledg patience and care....<br>what cut did was another level

  The way Teddy recollects these memories is so vivid and full of life, you can just tell these were great times, what a life of experience he has lived within the sport of boxing and as always both his humour and humility are ever present in these stories, Brilliant!!! 👊👊💯

  6 months ago I didn’t know who Teddy Atlas was. Since then he’s become my favorite public figure and his book maybe the most touching, inspirational and entertaining book I’ve ever read/listened to
