Excellent autobiography from a standup guy with a high set of morals expected from himself as well as others.
Coming up the hard way, getting into trouble with the law, Teddy Atlas pulls no punches telling you what he did wrong and how he turned it around with the help of others.
Excellent read about a guy I would be proud to call a friend if we had known each other.
