Only teddy atlas can turn a 10 minute story into an hour long pod cast😂
Thank goodness its not only me who thinks that...we all know someone who tells stories when just a sentence needed, I'm not doubting Teddy's brilliance but geez
Jeez you ain’t lying!
@@paulortiz9873 Man you could have told this story in two minutes
Personally I love stories, the longer the better and being dramatised by Mr Atlas himself is just pure bliss.
Crazyoldman84 lmao . 😂 right !.
Camacho is a great legend in the fight game... I was blessed to take Camacho the distance and he became a friend of mine...
Remember that fight ...I think it was on Tuesday Night Fights...I trained in the same gym that you trained in ..Doraville Ga...Homer were very nice...you would work and spar will some of the guys in gym...Homer you were awesome.,.
Always considered you tough and professional,..very nice cause you would allow just the fans and gym rats to watch you train...again alot of credit to you
Holy shit, you actually did. Went the distance too. Hats off to you man, hope you're doing well.
I saw that fight, Homer. Props to you, and an honor to catch you here. My hair's burning from some of the trash a few envious keyboard-prisoner wannabes are slinging... but hey, this is UA-cam, not a forum of honest boxing folk. I gotta remember that.
Sooo, he must have shared some coke with you, Kool story Homer. I'm sure the coke was great quality too👀😌
Nothing better than washing dishes with Teddy on my earphones telling a good old boxing story.
Teddy is old school great trainer long live teddy
worse than watching Paint Dry. I love Teddy but get to the story
@@bobbymiller8563 weird comment on many levels.
Despite all the people who disliked him, Hector Camacho was never ko'd or stopped in his long professional career
He also stopped ko ing people for the last ten years of his career.
He was a dick.
Running from your opponent for 12 rounds will usually produce a stat like that.
@Don Juan El Californio True! Chavez is the only guy who really beat him up bad. Too bad towards the end of Chavez's great career, he started suffering tough KO losses.
@@Coojo78 Usually? Could you give me an example of another multiple title holder who had a long career without getting KO'd, who also fought like that?
I'd imagined speaking out like that, that maybe you have a long list.
As I pointed out in my original comment.
( Despite the fact that a lot of people disliked him )
And here they come! Your typical asinine internet trolls, who want to create a fight and argument where there isn't one. I just posted up a simple stat, OK?
Some people need to get a f****** grip!
Macho had one of the best lines I ever heard, he talked about recently getting out of a short prison stay and said in prison there are no weight classes.
Hector was the pioneer of walking into the ring before a fight putting on a show and his hand speed fast as lighting! RIP Boricua 🇵🇷
Rs 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
When teddy wants to tell you a "little story" you better have a few hours of free time lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎯
Facts
A two minute incident took Teddy an hour to tell
Holy shit this guy never shuts up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP Macho. It’s still Macho Time 🇵🇷
That’s a fact
💯
Fuck yeah
SaLute 🇵🇷🕶🎩
Yes it is still Macho time
Hector was an extremely talented fighter and to all of you keyboard warriors who talk like he was a chicken tell me where I can see your record on box rec!
Kev Dean lol someone can still be a chicken and thought of as one by someone who doesn’t have a record on boxrec lol it doesn’t take away the option ppl have on him lol
Like your saying only ppl who have a boxing record can say someone is a chicken even if it’s right or not
I'm from Detroit, grew up w Kronk in my life and most of my peers boxing. Camacho is very well respected to this day. A fierce competitor through and through.
Kev Dean he turned runner after the Rosario fight ,kiss ass
Yeah he was a monster in the ring
@@mrdanbino7498 when he destroyed Ray Leonard it was so sweet good to see glad he did it
R.I.P. “Macho” Camacho
I miss that crazy boricua
Luis Ramirez macho ain't give a fuck 🖕
@@JuanRodriguez-rj5zn Facts!
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🎩🕶🎩🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Ppl in harlem told me he was a good guy
Apparently Teddy Atlas didn't give a fuck either
When Hector Camacho burst onto the boxing scene, I remember thinking of him as the most gifted & trickiest of all the young fighters at that time.
Combos, footwork, reflexes, defensive tactics - at his best as a 130 pounder - moved up to 135lbs & found he was at a strength disadvantage, so he relied more on lateral movement & defensive trickery - so much so he used to get booed because of his tactics.....don't forget, a lot less was known about PEDs in boxing circles at that time, & when a fighter moved up in weight, it wasn't as easy as it seems to be today - also, when fighters move up these days, they tend to cruise through the weakest competition, instead of looking for the toughest possible challenge, like Hector did..
Usyk
Yeah, a record chock full of tomato cans, old fighters on the downhill slope, and guys who couldn't remember their Mama's names anymore. Name one great fighter he beat in their prime? Always the billed "star" on late night cable TV matches, but never on even one PPV fight. Talked a lot of shit, but always ran from punchers. Lost to JC Chavez, Trinidad, and Oscar, but never beat a big name except for a long-retired, barely-trained Leonard, who took a $5 million payday and laid down after a few rounds.
@@wbbils7052 Strike a nerve did I?
@@kufujitsu We will never agree on HC. He was a second tier fighter who had hand picked opponents and couldn't beat big name fighters who still had some of their skills. I eventually stopped watching him after I realized he was all hype and a runner. He escaped getting the good beating he always deserved and so many of us wanted to enjoy seeing him get. You're entitled to build a shrine to him, but don't expect many astute worshippers.
@@wbbils7052 I thought my viewpoints on Hector were pretty fair & balanced.
If you don't want to appreciate his good points - which were many - it's your choice.
Teddy Atlas, is a class act. I was a huge boxing fan in the 70's and 80's. What he says lines up with what I saw 100%.
@fabrizzio monsalve Liar??Tyson attacked his family and guy acted like I would!
Did you witness what happened that day
I had an anxiety attack waiting for him to talk about the actual fight with Camacho.
Lmao I feel you
do u feel the same way when u watch a movie 10 minutes into the movie? lmao
😂😂😂
On behalf of the Puerto Rican community we thank you mr. Atlas for your honesty and help.
Lambon. Lol
I asked Atlas what time it was. An hour later he was still explaining how a watch works.
I need to check out this audiobook! Thanks for the content, gentleman. Happy holidays to you and yours!
Great stuff boys - I listened and shared 3 times . Brilliant stuff Teddy .
Excellent just bloody Excellent! Camacho is one of my All Time favourite Everything in Boxing.. Thank You Teddy. And Big well done Ken on your marathon mate!
Bought teddys book on amazon! My daughter and I take turns reading to each other,she boxes,muay thai and competes in jiu jitsu and loves listening to podcast while we eat breakfast after exercise! Thank you both sir's!
How many times does he say "Ya know" in the book? LMFAO!
For many yrs I'm a 'Teddy Atlas" fan! A REAL person and a true gentleman and VERY honest! Mr Atlas is great asset to boxing! All the best wishes to you and yours Mr Teddy Atlas!
Teddy Atlas and Macho Camacho, two of my favorites when it comes to boxing.
Much love Teddy! Thank you! I always loved Camacho! He was aesthetically beautiful in his pugilist finesse!
Hector Macho Camacho could've been the best of all time had he stayed on the right path. 🥊 🇵🇷
He was doomed from childhood, read his book.
@@robertramsey4693 What's the name of the book?
The coke didn’t help
@@chairmanoftheboard11 Nope.
One of the best, he still wouldn't have beaten a prime Duran.
damn he dragged that story
He always does lol he probably takes 46 min to take a order at a restaurant!
@@Enzo87325 He'd probably take 36 min to tell you the directions to the restroom.
Painfully drag out story...hes no racanteur..........
@@vincentvega8210 chael sonnen is up there to lol
He got some of dat NYC 7:30ness datz why
Damn!!!
When is he going to tell the the story!!!
One of the realest men in boxing. Gotta love an old boxing story from the great Atlas himself.
So great.
Boy, has that asshole got you fooled. Atlas has fucked up so many relationships with good fighters he overcontrolled that he's one of the most hated trainers in boxing. Ask Michael Moorer, among others, who prospered after they left him.
WB Bils lol I thought I was the only one .... Teddy’s a spoiled rich kid from Staten Island that craved in attention , even tho his fighters were winning the fights he wanted all the credit like a true spoiled brat , his rich doctor dad got him outta trouble all the time as a kid
WB Bils yep! But he doesn’t a good job of masking that , so I get why lots of people don’t see it
Another great Teddy Atlas story!
Thanks Ken for giving us this look into the past with Teddy.
Another great show guys..Teddy I love your story telling ..We talk about "Gym Etiquette" all the time....Hector was a very loud personality ..You did the right thing Teddy,Thank God you didn't get hurt...Camacho was an amazing fighter with incredible hand speed and ring generalship, not too mention a great showman..BUT that day in the gym it was "TEDDY TIME"...LOL
I'd like to hear macho mans side of this tale, cause I ain't believing you teddy. Sadly we never will, but I can imagine how it would have gone, and a hell of a lot truer I reckon. RIP MACHO.
Teddy isn't a liar.
Listen to the respect & good head on Teddy, one of the last real stand up guys! Old school dignity. U gotta love Teddy.
Teddy, you've gotten really good at telling that story. Everyone needs to actually congratulate Ken on getting Teddy to tell the story. Kenny, you're the man. Frank slipping had me dead annoying neighbors 2 houses over I was laughing so hard.
Yeah. Atlas alienated every fine fighter he ever touched and drove them off to better trainers. Now he comes out with an audio book (his fans are mostly morons and dyslexic illiterates who can't read) in a pathetic attempt to rearrange history in his favor. What a bookend asshole to Camacho.
@@wbbils7052 and you would know all of the facts as a boxing insider. Integrity is what seperated Teddy from the fighters that Teddy trained. His integrity and their lack of. Legendary trainer Eddie Futch who trained Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes, also trained Riddick Bowe. Early in Bowe's career (his 7th & 8th fights), Futch asked Teddy if he would be Bowe's trainer for those two fights, as he (Futch) would be out of country training another of his champions for an upcoming match in Europe. He was also close with Lou Duva another legendary trainer and occasionally helped Lou with some of his fighters.
Last, another legendary trainer Angelo Dundee was asked to make a list of whom he felt were the top 15 trainers of all-time. Here's what he had to say regarding Teddy:
Teddy Atlas
10 OF 15
Atlas another on the list who made the transition to commentating, for which he is more widely known these days, nevertheless was apprenticing under D’Amato, and worked with Tyson in the earliest stages of his burgeoning career.
He also performed his most significant training feat by guiding veritable unknown at the time, Michael Moorer, to the heavyweight title, when the latter defeated Evander Holyfield in 1994. Other fighters whom Atlas was associated with during his career include; featherweight Barry McGuigan, light heavyweight Donny Lalonde and Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin.
All three, were old school, no nonsense trainers. Men of integrity. It was this same quality that they saw in Teddy.
So WB (Wanna Be), when you've achieved the same status as Futch, Duva and Dundee, I will then consider your opinion and not before.
I used to train with Edwin and Adolfo, great guys, they taught me a lot.
I ❤ listening to Teddy tell a story. But no one, and I mean no one, loves to listening to Teddy tell a story like Teddy Atlas. Only this guy can take a 5 minute story and stretch it out to an hour long.
Teddy never fails with his tough guy stories. Toughest guy/trainer that never was champ or even had a pro career 🤷🏼♂️ knock it off teddy
Lmbo
🤣 and Macho a champion boxer didn't even touch him 🤣🤦♂️
Where did he get that scar on his face too cool? Shaving?
@@PoppysGuitar so he was a tough guy because of that scar? U count dat as a win? BOZO u keep believing his tough guy stories that nobody else talks about but HIM smh
Teddy the Douchebag
Awesome story! I'm glad you shared it, no disrespect , no hatred, he learned the lesson.
The story that this man brings is priceless. HECTOR CAME BACK AN SHOWED RESPECT..This how ol'skool shit is handled..
Everybody needs a teddy atlas in their lives. He's a great influence. Thanks for the podcast 😀
woooo. thanks for show fellas. by the way i read Teddys book 2x and then got audible few weeks back and listened to him read it. it was great. he needs to write another book now...
What would he say? I acted like an ass and Cus fired me. Or, I couldn't shut my mouth and Moorer walked out on me to become the champ with someone else. Or, the only fighters who listen to me are kids, who eventually get hip to how full of shit I am, and walk out on me. He's got nothing more to tell us, except more of his slow, boring stories of ustawuzzers.
@@wbbils7052 WB (Wanna Be), other than Wanna Be Internet Gangster, what have you personally done in the boxing world to make your opinion hold any value to anyone other than your own self???
@@wbbils7052 yikes you are miserable. i guess youll have to learn to read or use modern technology...
Amazing story ,really insightful
A real education about the human psyche and the boxing game
Thanks for the information
This show never disappoints
Excellent
Teddy.. Probably My Favorite Man .. All About Honesty Legacy Honor.. Man's Man . True Last of a dead Breed ..
Love Atlas telling stories, 5 star kick arse! Keep up the great work.
Macho spent a great deal of time in Detroit since a young pro. Trained at powerhouse gym, sparred at Kronk many times including a 1984 Pernell Whitaker at Kronk Private Gym. I grew to know him over the years did a little biz here and there. Always honored his word. Fun guy.
That's what's up,a Good Detroit/Camacho story,my hometown (313)!!!
''it was like holding an EEL''.... CLASSIC. great show guys
R.i.p Camacho. This is a classic story . Teddy aka The BOXFather . Teddy is an encyclopedia of boxing 🥊
Even if macho man was a mediocre fighter he would still been entertaining but him being world class was the icing on the cake.
Teddy, what a compelling story. Love the setting & build up of the scene. Film worthy.
The only thing you see here is a respectful man trying to tell a story about someone he respects that has passed, thanks Teddy, know it's not easy but you did it well,
RIP MANCHO MAN!!!!!!
And Teddy is a gr8 STORYTELLER!!!
Can’t believe I’m just finding out about this podcast! Teddys stories are the best
I can listen to Teddy Atlas ramble all day.
reading it now.... so good. thanks guys for your show.. Teddy thanks for sharing ..
Thank you guys for speaking nice things about hector chamacho he was a troubled person that's a fact but meant well. God rest his soul
Brilliant story, well done, big respect!
I like how Teddy said no,no not dirty fighting but he had him by the hair kneed him and had him on a head lock like ,WTF Lol I want to know whats dirty on his book.
The old scoop 😂🤣
Thanks for the memories..gracias por recoedar nuestro querido Hector Macho...
I guarantee if Macho Time was here the story would be different 🇵🇷
Honestly it would sound confusing.
In the end, Camacho’s family did not have the money to pay for the funeral. Teddy sent the family a check. Hector made millions of dollars. Just another story of a champion boxer that had bad people around him that took advantage of him. Rip champ!
Bill Krack. Camacho had a net worth of $100,000 in the bank when he died. That is not counting on 4 apartment complexes he had in Puerto Rico and another 2 apartment complexes he had in Florida. Additionally, he was getting a monthly check from investments he made back in the late 70’s. All that information was made public by local news in Puerto Rico.
@@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump do u live in PR
That is not true. I knew Camacho. I sparred with him for the Chavez fight in Bayamon PR. And trained with his son in Guaynabo PR.
The Macho man had a 30,000 a month retirement with Wells Fargo for 5 million he got from the Chavez fight. They paid the funeral with no problem. He had homes in Orlando, Miami, San Juan and Conneticut. Stop bullshiting people.
Joseph Arce. Then members of his family lied and conned us at the charity because we cut them a check. Shame on them
@@billkrack2130 I guess if some family members said that then yes they lied.
I know what is factual not a TV story. He was fine financially but lost his life hanging out with an old friend that was in bad steps using coke and what not. The killer was going after the driver and shot Camacho not knowing who he was. When the shooter was going to finish Camacho off he recognized who he was and left.
The best show thus far Freddy good story teller knows how to juice it up.
Hector was a amazing fighter in the 80s my favorite.I happen to cross his path in the mid-late 80s at a truck stop in west broward florida named Seminole truck stop highway 27 and Griffin road.We made eye contact for a moment I didn't make a big deal of it because quite frankly I was worried it might lead to a altercation. I spoke to the manager of the truck stop and he said he was personal friends with Hector Camacho and Hector ate dinner with his family at his house on occasion. Manager of the truck stop had pretty Italian daughters.
I I guess I should have had dinner over at his house too lol.
THOSE were WONDERFUL Stories/Life Lessons! Truly Unforgettable Stuff! Thanks SO Much to Ken for Pushing Teddy, & Teddy for eventually seeing the Wisdom in telling them! Who Cares @ People Who Question Your Motives?!! REAL PEOPLE out Here, with REAL LIVES, GET IT, GUYS-& I hope that That’s ONE of the Reasons you gave to Teddy, Ken, when you talked him into doing this FUN & SUPER INTERESTING Show! (& Yep, if I’d not been 16, with somewhat strict-but Great!-parents, & living in SE Michigan, at the time of “Macho”, I would’ve been there standing with others Clapping My Fingers Off in Ovation to YOU, Teddy!!!. . . .Now if I could’ve talked to my Dad, on-the-side, before Mom ever got wind of what was Truly going On, Maaaaybee, just Maybe, I could’ve talked to him @ our taking a “little road-trip” to go Give Accolades to the “All Time Great Teddy Atlas”??!!! Would THAT Have EVER BEEN 1 FANTASTIC Memory!!! My Dad & I were Very Close, but, Sadly I Lost him to Colon CA, 9-15-18, so I Most Regrettably, can’t ask Him now.)! 😭💕
Camacho was a real cat & didn't give a fuck about what nobody thought about his charismatic ways. Hell of a fighter 1 of the quickest I ever seen in history & showman R.I.P Its Macho Time & I love Teddy Atlas's personality as well he's also a real 1 & Voices his opinion no matter how you feel about it I respect him
Congratulations to both you guys athlete greens I need to look into that
lol, this is classic info, Love to hear OG stories its always a pleasure to hear this type of of shit
Loved macho man! Great fighter and funny as hell.
6:10 camacho story
Thanks man
You the man.
Thanks g
Thanks
cheers mate
Camacho was the first fighter to wear a dress into the ring.
I was there when this story took place great memories!
I love Teddy as much as anybody, but I had to shave twice waiting for him to spit the story out...
Great story. Love Teddy!
Teddy Huge Fan. Born in 1971 Boston\SouthWestQuincy
Who da Fook lmao 🤣
I guess Teddy could have tweeted "Camacho got cocky with us so we set him straight" but I'd listen to him meandering through stories like this anytime I could. Makes me want to go buy his book.
I couldn't help but laugh my ass off😂. I'm sorry that it happened. He was one of the greats I always looked forward to seeing him in the ring. May he R.I.P
As a boxer, Camacho was world class. World class speed, world class skill, and world class talent. He is one of my favorite boxers of all time, if not my favorite. But the truth is that Camacho was a street punk. Camacho's behavior as described by Teddy kinda illustrates that. Teddy needs to tell a story without letting drag on and on. Goodness this took longer than it needed to.
Teddy for goodness sake tell the story..I knew this was gonna be dragged out, Teddy never gets to the point without giving u the feeling of watching paint dry... Sorry Atlas fans but c'mon!!!!
The fights over and I got over 20 minutes to go.
For some reason I woke up thinking about Camacho!
Great story! It's true there's different worlds we live in.
I could listen to Teddy talk about boxing all day.
The Dick Young article can probably be found at the NYC Public Library Microfilm Dept...They have copies of the Daily News from that year...plus. other years too...
That’s the best story yet!!! I can die a happy man now
I was sleeping by the time "oil based Vaseline" was discussed
Never start a story with this is a great story especially when teddy tells it....Legend but slow man
@@mileymarielow3850 how do u know that?🤔
I've had teddy's book 📙 for the last ten years it's inspirational might have to get the 🔉 version
You should, I got the audio version and there are chapters added in between the ones in the book where Teddy talks about the stuff he wrote in the book and what's changed all these years later. I never read the book but listened to it and man, there are some great stories in there.
it is very much worth it. i have had his since come out as well. but wanted hear him read it and there is bonus material after every chapter or two that goes deeper and updates stories etc. was the first audio book i ever heard lol. but downloaded audible app and has 30 day free no strings attached and comes with free book. so theoretically you could listen and cancel, however i also got the 'when heavyweights were kings ' book and love that. probably get 'the mob and boxing' next haha. im hooked until i hear all the boxing material
That era seemed so much better than this era. Great stories and characters
Yeah 80s, 90s and early 2000s was way better than this era.
Good episode.
13:30 he’s talking about alboline it’s a makeup remover boxers used to sweat out access water weight. That’s a gem for you young fighters out there!
Imagine if Tyson was in there with Teddy, doubt ANYONE wouldda tried to keep the ring xD
The gym ring: sparring comes first. 🥊
Spectacular #RGM
Metaphor teddy 2hours to answer 2 minute question gotta love him
Great story. Great way to close 2019.
Dam not even The Great Hector Macho Camacho can punk Teddy. Teddy is awesome and that day RIP Macho Man real recognize real! 🙏🙏☝️☝️
Great story. Loved every word
I can listen to tell stories for hours
congrats on your win great time truly amazing
His Adolfo impressions were funny! lol
I got chills listening to this!👍👍
great stpry thank you guys
Wow. That’s an amazing time bro
Teddy has ⚾️⚽️s!!! Strap on Tyson and 1v1 with Camacho! Woah👊
You know he lying lmao😂😂
lol For real - he basically saying he held his own and could have beaten up world champ and legend camacho GTFO lol if that was the case Teddy should have went pro himself and became a world champ
Camacho was a great villain.
Get on with it.
Lol just joking...i like how teddy can make a meal out of a 3 minutes story into a 1 hour podcast and thats why i listen to him. Great character his stories are gold.
Hector Camacho, 50, Boxer Who Lived Dangerously, Dies
By BRUCE WEBERNOV. 24, 2012
Hector Camacho, a boxer known for his lightning-quick hands and flamboyant personality who emerged from a delinquent childhood in New York’s Spanish Harlem to become a world champion in three weight classes, died Saturday in San Juan, P.R., four days after after being shot while sitting in a parked car. He was 50.
His death was reported by Dr. Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Médico trauma center in Puerto Rico, who said Camacho had a heart attack and died a short time later after being taken off life support. He was declared brain dead on Thursday.
The police said that Camacho was shot in the left side of the face on Tuesday night as he sat in a black Ford Mustang with a friend, The Associated Press reported. The bullet fractured his vertebrae and was lodged in his shoulder when he was taken to the Puerto Rico Medical Center. The friend, Adrian Mojica Moreno, was also killed.
The police said that two men fled the scene in a sport utility vehicle but that no arrests had been made. They said that nine bags of cocaine were found in Moreno’s pockets and that a 10th was found open in the car.
Fighting in bouts sanctioned by professional boxing’s myriad organizing bodies, Camacho, who was widely known as Macho Camacho, won titles as a super featherweight (maximum 130 pounds), a lightweight (135 pounds) and a junior welterweight (140 pounds). In his last title bout, at age 35 in 1997, he fought at 147 pounds and lost to the welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Terrifically agile and fast afoot, Camacho had a sackful of canny tricks gleaned from his teenage years as a street fighter; he was known occasionally to spin his opponents 180 degrees and reach around to punch them from behind. Rather than a slugger, he was a precise, impossibly rapid-fire puncher and deft counterpuncher who early on drew the admiration of the boxer who was then the avatar of hand speed, Sugar Ray Leonard.
Camacho was "brain dead" before being shot.
Great Info!!!!!👍
THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! MACHO TIMEZZZZZZZZZZZ!
@@cigguard3408 I know you probably loved him, BUT Macho Man was a second tier fighter whose talk, antics, and ability to move were his only talents. Couldn't win THE BIG ONE (Chavez, De la Hoya, Trinidad) and too often was a runner. Beat an old, shot and long retired Leonard, who took the $5 million and an early rounds dive. I eventually stopped watching him, just as I stopped watching Sweet Pea and other "Willie Pep" types, who put viewers to sleep. He died a terrible death. Never a bum, but never great. Had to be tough to be a long term contender.
It took me 2 days to finish this one. Good information though. 🤣👍
