Teddy Atlas is a well-known boxing trainer and fight commentator. The son of a doctor, Atlas grew up in a middle class neighborhood in Staten Island.
By his own admission, Atlas was a somewhat troubled, rebellious youth. He dropped out of school and was arrested several times, once serving time on Riker's Island. Atlas was involved in a street fight in which his face was severely slashed with a knife. The wound took four hundred stitches to close leaving him with a distinctive scar.
Teddy Atlas trained as an amateur boxer briefly with Hall of Fame trainer Cus D'Amato, but he was forced to retire after suffering a back injury. Atlas was made a trainer by D'Amato and he was briefly put in charge of training D'Amato's protege, Mike Tyson.
Teddy Atlas enjoyed his greatest professional success as a head trainer with Michael Moorer. He also trained featherweight world champion Barry McGuigan and Canadian light-heavyweight Donny Lalonde.
In 1997, he founded the Dr. Theodore Atlas Foundation to honor the memory of his late father. The Foundation awards scholarships and grants to individuals and organizations.
Atlas worked as boxing commentator for NBC's coverage of the Olympic Games in Sydney (2000), Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008).
Teddy Atlas published his autobiography, "Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring. A Son's Struggle to Become a Man", in 2006. The book covers many different periods of Atlas's life, and compares his position as trainer to a role as a father.
Atlas currently serves as commentator on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights and Wednesday Night Fights. In 2001, he won the Sam Taub Award for excellence in boxing broadcast journalism.
