Teddy Atlas: "Floyd didn't want his father to profit from his loss so he retired"

So Teddy has Oscar over Floyd. I guess we know who would have won the fight then. Floyd.

[Hisoka]

At what point did he say anything about a "loss"? He said he thought Floyd just didn't want to be involved in any of that and fight against a guy his dad is preparing to try and beat him indirectly with. Nor did he want his dad to profit at all from it. Your post makes it sound like Teddy said DLH would win and that Floyd is afraid of fighting a guy he already beat. Which he didn't say. Good try though.

[ИATAS]

It was kind of interesting what he said, and he said a lot more then just that. Said that Floyd is a sensitive person and didn't want to be put into the position of fighting a guy with his father in his corner, didn't want the media etc to exploit the family drama, etc. Interesting, not sure if it's true, but interesting nonetheless.


EDIT
and he never said anything about win/loss

[Big_L]

teddy didn't say he would lose.

Teddy definitely used the word loss...

[Hisoka]

If anything he meant it would be a lose/lose situation. Floyd wouldn't get any credit for a win and it wouldn't do his family issues any good to have a circus like that going on. Apparently you heard something the rest of us didn't. Even if Teddy slipped in the word "loss" you can tell from the rest of what he said, that it wasn't intended that way.

Teddy Atlas is a joke.

Roger got screwed over too. He had to miss a paycheck for the Forbes fight, just so he can still train a "retired" fighter.

Whats going to happen.....If cotto gets by tony, he then fights Oscar, in which Oscar turns Cotto into a ppv draw, and if cotto wins, Floyd comes out of his retirement to face cotto. Lots of ifs, but if it happens we will see a floyd/cotto fight.
