Theodore A. “Teddy” Atlas is an American boxing trainer and analyst who worked for ESPN for more than two decades. Raised in an affluent region of Staten Island, New York, Atlas grew up in a wealthy area with his father a doctor, and his mother a former Miss America pageant contestant.

He was brought up with his mother's Irish Catholic faith at the fore, although it did not have a positive impact on Atlas, who had a troubled youth. Kicked out of school and arrested a couple of times growing up, trouble was never too far away.

In part one, Sean tells the story of Teddy's early beginnings and how a life of crime would lead him to the boxing gym and ultimately to Kevin Rooney & Cus D'Amato.
