Theodore A. "Teddy" Atlas, Jr. (born July 29, 1956) is an American boxing trainer and fight commentator.
The son of a doctor, Atlas grew up in a wealthy area of Staten Island, New York City, New York. His mother Mary Riley Atlas was a former contestant in the Miss America pageant system, as well as a model. His father was of Hungarian Jewish descent. Teddy spent summers in Spring Lake New Jersey, with his family's friends.
By his own admission, Atlas had a somewhat troubled, rebellious youth. He dropped out of school and was arrested several times. He participated in an armed robbery and served time on Rikers Island. Atlas was involved in a street fight in Stapleton, Staten Island in which his face was severely slashed with a "007" flick knife. The wound took 400 stitches in total to close, with 200 on the outside of his face and 200 on the inside. The attack left him with a distinctive scar.
Teddy Atlas trained as an amateur boxer with Hall of Fame trainer Cus D'Amato. He had some amateur fights but had to turn to training due to a back injury. Atlas was an assistant to D'Amato, although his role in the Catskill Boxing Club was short-lived. His duties included assisting in the training of D'Amato's teenage protégé Mike Tyson. However, Atlas left the camp in 1982 following an altercation with the 16-year-old Tyson after Tyson had been sexually inappropriate with a 11-year-old female relative of Atlas's (Tyson said he had grabbed the girl's buttocks). Atlas put a .38 caliber handgun to Tyson's ear and told him to never touch his family again or he would kill him if he did. This altercation between Atlas and a young Mike Tyson led to Atlas' dismissal from the Catskill Boxing Club and he was told he was no longer welcome in D'Amato's home or around any of his adopted children (his fighters whom he had legally adopted, Tyson included).

(Here we go)
I'm on the dancefloor
I do it for family and friends
And my fans on tour
Do it from the heart
When it hits the store
And to hits your ear
Something you give more
Make you wanna some more
And I give it some more
And I can never give 'em enough
It seems I give it up
All the words will stuck
Whole later
The boys are amazing
As I was, I got the dancefloor shakin'
From the top floor, down to the basement (aha)
And the black eyed were spending living
Better believe, I've got this feeling, Black Eyed Peas
Make you booty-trap on for you playing
When they ask where I do it for
I'll say
I do it for the once who got my back (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it from my heart, on every track (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it for my city, we party every day
I do it for the crowd, just tonight we're going down, down
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-wee-ooh
I'm on the dancefloor
Ask me when I'm so fown, fown
You know we're going down, down
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-wee-ooh
I'm on the dancefloor
Ask me when I'm so fown, fown
You know we're going down, down
Ah, Viva La Vida on the play, on the Coldplay
When I feel flay, table and press play
Figured by back in the day
Get mama in the crib when I'm working on my work play
Keep dreaming, that's what sun say
My mama did not rease the fool compending
Way back when I use the wrap off lunchdays
I knew I'll make it to the top, one day
Now days, a flaw-pa
How the core in this spaceship, saffa
Give me take into the world, ba-pa
With my pokerface, so Gaga
No mission is impossible
The jam black, Tom Cruise
I mean, no, that cool
So when you ask me what I do
'Til what I do
Where I do it for
I'll say
I do it for the once who got my back (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it from my heart, on every track (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it for my city, we party every day
I do it for the crowd, just tonight we're going down, down
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-wee-ooh
I'm on the dancefloor
Ask me when I'm so fown, fown
You know we're going down, down

Ask me when I'm so fown, fown
You know we're going down, down
Music on, start it
I've never heard it never before
Music on, start it
This is Lazee and Mo
Music on, start it
To my party control
Music on, start it
Oh, start it, oh, start it
I do it for the once who got my back (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it from my heart, on every track (ooh-ooh-wee)
I do it for my city, we party every day
I do it for the crowd, just tonight we're going down, down
I do it for the once who got my back (ooh-ooh-wee)
