#3. Mike Tyson forced Teddy Atlas to point a gun at him
Mike Tyson has often found himself embroiled in controversy and trouble. However, that is nothing new; Tyson has been getting into trouble since his childhood days. The same held true while he was being trained by Teddy Atlas.
While in conversation with Dan Le Batard on the 'Highly Questionable' show, Teddy Atlas harked back to the time when he pulled a gun to Mike Tyson's head. The trainer was forced to take extreme measures after a 15-year-old Tyson misbehaved with Atlas' 11-year-old niece.
However, Mike Tyson claims that the real reason Atlas pulled a gun on him was a dispute regarding his alliance with Cus D'Amato. In the wake of his split with D'Amato, Atlas wanted Tyson to follow him instead of D'Amato. However, 'Iron Mike' refused.
