Seems like he does more commentating.
That's just as well. I don't think highly of him as a trainer of pro fighters anyway.

teddy atlas is big in boxing, i think his time now is better spent working with comissions and networks to improve the sport

I never thought Teddy prepared his fighters very well. He got too stuck on one idea. He was a great in corner motivator though. There is no one in history who would flip on a fighter and tell him what he needed to hear like Teddy Atlas.

In his book he mentioned that he promised a friend who passed away that he would train his son in a couple years (?) when he turned in a certain age. It's been about that time since the book was written so maybe now is working with that kid. Obviously we're not talking pro-training but training nonetheless...

Atlas would tell Moorer the right things, but Moorer barely even listened.
Against Holyfield, he slept-walked in the rounds after Atlas pleaded with him to fight harder.
The other pro fighters viewed as head-cases/underachievers that Atlas worked with, such as Briggs and Grant....what success did they have with Atlas?
