I've never heard of Teddy Atlas but i could listen to this guy for hours he has so much passion and knowledge. I'm glad Joe kept quet and let him speek. Well done Joe
Teddy atlas is one of the greatest boxing coaches of all time, and a boxer and a boxing historian. So when its comes to boxing his knowledge of pugulism is almost unmatched. Hes a living encyclopedia of boxing.
I agree. History don’t mention his outside the ring accomplishments enough. Since he never talked shit in the ring, that somehow went against him. I liked that he let his fist decide most of his fights.
25 Title defenses against not so good fighters; however, did quite a bit outside of boxing while getting screwed by the U.S. government for his trouble. In the grand scheme of things, his changes weren't as wholesale as Muhammad Ali's, when he made his stand.
HBCU Football Matters I would say some of his defenses were against not so great fighters. Joe was also leagues above everyone else in the heavyweight division and his reign as champ is quite impressive.
I'm from Detroit and we love Joe Louis a true legend in and out the ring who never got his proper respect it hurts to see the Joe Louis arena tore down for a little ceaser arena
Joe Louis is a legend. We need to remember that Louis came into an era that the social & political landscape was at a knife edge. He stood out like an apple in a rubbish tip.
@@clevelandwilliams5922 i know it suck louis doesent get noticed as the greatest inspired ali, sugar ray robinson, cleveland williams, joe frazier and more, if he wasmt here there would be no ray robinson
He's right about that Max Schmeling / Joe Lewis second fight. Boxing during that time was more than sport. It was actually life and meant more than anything. Ironically Max Schmeling got a bum rap. He was german but the Nazi's used him as propaganda and he was not a sympathizer. He was a genuinely good person and they became friends later. HBO did a great documentary on all of this called Joe Lewis - a hero betrayed. Its excellent.
dru Many Germans wanted nothing to do with the war. My grandad (UK) met his best friend during the war. He was a German prisoner of war that my grandad had to watch. In Egypt. But my grandad took him to the cinema and they became best friends until my grandad died. Neither one gave a fuck for the war, but neither one had the choice to join or not. People in the UK, were shot dead if they didn't join the first world. war. The best German scientists actually refused to help to build a nuclear bomb. They wanted no part of it, and caused as many complications as they could. I don't even think Germany were the enemy. The USSR was reaching West, killing its own people. The Japanese were right bastards who invaded China for resources, and the British already had invaded most of the world and had an empire. It's not as simple as 'Hitler was evil', France had already defeated Germany in the past, and countries from the east were trying to take more land from Germany. Hitler being a brave soldier, saw what people were planning, and was put into impossible poverty as punishment for the first world war, so he thought Germany could fight, and be independent/prosperous again, or they could lose their language, their land and their people. Remember that the victor writes the history books. 😊

everytime i watch teddy atlas speak, he has this way about him where i just want to shut up, and listen to everything hes got to say! Hes so interesting and opinionated. He has a view on everything, but more importantly, his views are always original. Like an artist, he takes in what he sees, and then shares his views and opinions in a very deep way to the world. Im so glad hes on JRE! He should be regular guest
Teddy Atlas is classic old school, and has such passion for boxing that's inspiring. He should be a modern world history and motivational speaker. So many people need to hear this. It's so relevant even today.
Somebody call Teddy and start making movies out of this stories. I could listen to this all day long. Nothing but love for Joe podcasts, society needs more of this i am DAMN sure about that. Lessons are taught durings these podcast
Joe Louis is the best heavyweight of all time.. he held the belt the longest for nearly 12 years second Afro American to win it his my personal second best fighter ever lived behind the GOAT sugar Ray Robinson then Sam Langford number 3
Joe Louis greatest ever . Also great man and great American . Beloved in his time . Treated poorly by US Government . Classy man and classy dresser . Man of few but affective words " he can run but he can't hide "
I met him when i was 14 in brooklyn he was a guest event judge at the sunset park trails for the junior Olympics. He is a true walking legend. I met Hector "Macho" Camacho too he was incredible
Teddy Atlas is the truth his knowledge is overwhelming his passion is unrivalled boxing needs a UFC style governing body and it needs teddy Atlas to run it ... End the corruption once and for all give every fighter from club level to casino headliner a fair shake
Afte all these years in the sport, you can hear Teddy's passion and see his face light up when he tells a story. And tells it well... Great job keeping quiet on this one Joe...
Every story he told I could imagine myself in the same room , like a fly on the wall . Every life experience told with such passion and you could tell he was invested emotionally into what ever it was . Amazing.
Glad to see all the love for Teddy on these comments sections of the videos. Whenever I seem to mention being a fan of his around boxing fans I always get shit on, people seem to really dislike him for whatever reason. I've been a fan since I watched Friday Night Fights on ESPN back when I was a kid, him and Max Kellerman use to host the shows together. He always tells it like it is and his passion for boxing was one of the things that helped me become a fan.
I'm a bit of an oldie but my son who also loves boxing and is a boxer sent me this video and Teddy Atlas' assessment that Joe Louis was the greatest. Made me re-think. I do remember two things however. In the first Schmeling fight, Joe Louis' mother was in the front row and calling out to the referee in the 12th round 'Please don't let him kill my boy'! About the 2nd Schmelling fight, Nat Fleischer I think, owner of Ring Magazine said "No-one would have beaten Joe Louis on the night of the 2nd Schmeling fight".
Agreed...as I say the same thing. Joe "unleashed" himself...during that 2nd encounter. We NEVER get to see that Joe Louis again and on that night, NO ONE beats the Brown Bomber.
I can't convey enough just how much I love Teddy. If I could choose any one person to be around...I choose Teddy. He is one of the main reasons that I fell in love with boxing so many years ago. His passion exudes and his fight IQ is uncanny. Bravo! And thank you
You can feel this guys passion for the sport. I've heard this guys name thrown around from time to Tim but I've never seen him or heard him. Gotta say, he does have alot of good to say and I appreciate him laying out the history.
Because I have knowledge in other areas that dont pertain to boxing? Also I said ive heard this guys name before. I just never saw or heard him before.
I fucking love Teddy Atlas. Seems every time he talks he manages to get to the very essence of life, of existence, of being. Sometimes the buildup takes forever but when he gets to the point, BAM, he fucking nails it.
This is why I love sports in general (especially boxing). There are people involved in it that make you believe in yourself as a human being from any background. In my opinion its good to appreciate your culture whilst remaining an individual!
I have a video I made about 5-years ago on my channel titled 'how great was Joe Louis'. I love the history of Joe Louis. Class act and the best heavyweight of all time. Muhammad Ali I put into a different class from every other fighter.
Bro I've met Teddy Atlas in person when he used to host Friday Night Fights, they came to Austin, Texas and that guy has the biggest hands I've ever seen... he could strangle a man to death with those sausage fingers bruh
"I used to tease Joe Louis by reminding him that I was the greatest of all time. But Joe Louis was the greatest heavyweight fighter ever. I just give lip service to being the greatest. He WAS the greatest.” ~ Muhammad Ali

this guy, Teddy, is a spiritual teacher with a lot of good messages on how to develop ourselves. He understands life more than most sophists who study from books, he studied life.
I love this podcast, teddy atlas has a real talent for expressing his passion. I love boxing more because of listening to teddy atlas on espn when I was a kid. I'm 32 now but back then I was a kid and I learned so much from this man about the sport and other stuff
Great video. I'm a Teddy Atlas fan, too. I love some of his unique "Teddy Atlas" expressions...one especially stays with me: In describing a fighter's defensive skill in keeping his opponent at a distance, not letting the other fighter, an "in fighter," get inside. Atlas said of the defensive fighter's tactics something like "he's making his opponent fight his fight, keeping him outside, he's letting his opponent know that if he tries to get inside, he's gonna go through a 'bad neighborhood'."

ihave
Randall Carson, De Grasse Tyson, Rhonda Patrick...he is very observant with his highly guests who are the forerunners in their line of professions..
Rumour has it this podcast is still going on.
jibsmokestack1 Teddy is why Tyson became Tyson . When Atlas was replaced Tyson started to loose. Those are the facts.
@@stevereed8786 I think you're getting him mistaken with Rooney. Atlas left Catskills in 1982.

@@jomana4517 tell us more
With teddy you don’t got much choice to let him talk. He’s always been a bug time talker. Atleast he has interesting stuff to say though
Max Schmeling was not a Nazi. He became friends with Joe and helped him out financially when Louis fell on hard times later in life.
I think you mean Max Baer.
It's Schmeling I'm referring to. He helped Louis in his latter years and paid for his funeral.
Schmeling was used by them for propaganda. He was pretty much their hostage to a big degree.
Max was sent to the front because he wouldn’t join the Nazi party.
Dave66 that really is besides the point of the story lol
Joe Louis is by far the most underappreciated athlete and greatest heavyweight of all time. Dont @ me.
Absolutely

I almost cried
Me too, I had to fight back the tears twice.

Teddy Atlas should seriously do a commentary of historic fights.... ratings would be huge!!!!
96 fights, 89 wins, damn
What a great guy..he humbles himself knowing that hes not perfect In life yet says it how it is..mad respect for him.
If I ever have a son I should name him Joe Louis.
That's why i would love the World to check out the International Boxing Hall of Fame to learn the History of the Sport
I fucking love Teddy Atlas. Seems every time he talks he manages to get to the very essence of life, of existence, of being. Sometimes the buildup takes forever but when he gets to the point, BAM, he fucking nails it.
If they ever make a modern biopic of Louis they should cast Atlas in some part. He could write his own dialogue
An animated series with Teddy Atlas narrating historic boxing fights/fighters/ etc needs to happen.
