      I think he's genuinely sorry. Tyson is a wise man but a very flawed wise man. He's the type to act and not give a f in any given moment. I wish him the best and he has grown as a human being.

I know I heard it before but life is short , rebuild bridges if they are worth it , if you have made mistakes and you know inside yourself you did wrong and have denounced that behaviour then there is always a chance.

      it doesnt matter if tyson was sincere or not, what matters is that Teddy Atlas was and he was. Same as when a beggar asks you for money and you give it to them to help them not knowing if they are going to buy drugs or booze with it or not. You gave to help them, its on them if they are telling the truth or not.

      Teddy should have been the one apologising for pulling a gun on a child for flirting with a child. The Mike and his niece thing was stupid because she was 11 and Mike was 13 and Teddy atlas took it to far and there’s a lot more to it like he wanted to take Mike from Cus at the time.

      ​@@Rogue1867 Using a gun was the wrong move on Atlas part. But flirting with a girl is telling her she's pretty and asking her out on a date. Tyson groped a girl who hadn't even gone through puberty yet. If a gay dude groped you I doubt you'd call that flirting.

Teddy realizes this he looks straight down when totally sincere.

      @Ian Dixon Yeah. The 'asking for forgiveness' step..it's where a lot of people falter at it actually because just up until you havn't shown any memory about the events you just think that if you don't speak it might not be so...the fucking guilt that hits you like a train around that step, a lot of people can't accept and get over the guilt of what they became in the midst of addiction and it really has the ability to make/break you. It's why a lot of people dont believe in the12 steps..i just say whatever gets you through the night..we're al so original that there is no 'one size fixes us all'...your pride is beating at the back door, but it's not an optional disease; it must live with you, might as well try it with a clear conscience✌

      The other half of an apology is forgiveness.
      Forgiveness is as crucial to the wounded person as an apology is to the betrayer.
      Without forgiveness, apology or not, you remain tied to the wound and those that wounded you.

But raping an 18-year-old girl when I was 22 (not 14 or 15), slandering her with the help of a vile anti-semite like Farrakhan, and never accepting responsibility for the crime -- which, despite my top legal team and the difficulty of proving rape charges beyond reasonable doubt -- for which I was convicted is thankfully not among them. Because I couldn't live a single day with that on my conscience. Desiree Washington. The world of boxing, including the "respectable" boxing media, has forgotten the name, but I haven't.

    It took Teddy so long because it really did mean something to him. Deep down, it was a special moment for him. This kid that he spent all his time with and knew so well had become a stranger because of a disagreement. Years later, the kid is a man and comes back to see him to apologise. It's like the prodigal son has returned. Deep down, Teddy loved that kid...he was humbled...

That said, Lennox Lewis was always too big, powerful, and tactically/defensively clever to lose to even a prime (21yo) Tyson, although he'd have a puncher's chance, obs.

    What I love about Tyson now that he's older is his brutal honestly. Whether you like it or not he's brutally honest and he's extremely critical on himself. He's talks about all the stupid mistakes and the poor judgments he made over the years all the time so if Mike wanted to apologize to Teddy after all these years he really felt he needed to. Mike knew he was wrong and felt he needed to get that off his chest the best way he knew how.

    It was 100% Sincere. And Mr.Atlas you are a Fine example of manhood in accepting it.
    Mike is an emotionally based soul, his tough shell is ONLY for preservation, deep down his heart is Pure. Teddy, you know this more than anyone because you helped "raise" him as a youngN.
    Betrayal was felt in Mikes emotional frame of mind(young and dumb can do what he wants) you felt betrayed(put the brakes on it) because it was hitN close to home" Both right, both wrong in a sense?. Just nessessary ALL around in the Moment.

    There are a few things in life that you can't put a price on, and that's a good conscious that wants peace. Mike is at a place in his life where he has come full circle and is now ready to enter the next segment of his life. That's a great place to be at this age. I'm so proud and happy for Mike. To many people at this point in their lives are to consumed with their pride and dignity, rather than their integrity and sometimes you have to just forget yourself and do what's right.

Making mistakes is fine as long as we learn and grow from them. I’ve raised my two kids alone since I was 19 and I’m 30 now so confidence has nothing to do with this. I teach all my kids on the basketball and soccer teams the same thing. If you think your always right then I feel sorry for you and anyone your responsibly for. If you teach them that all your doing is setting them up for failure and to be a dick. Like do you just type and say what ever pops into your head.
