| Teddy Atlas Comments on Klitschko-Maskaev
|
|
By Mark Vester In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated , trainer Teddy Atlas gave his views on the situation involving Vitali Klitschko possibly coming out retirement, and receiving an immediate title shot at WBC champion Oleg Maskaev. Samuel Peter is the mandatory challenger to Maskaev, winning two consecutive WBC mandated elimination bouts over James Toney. "It's a disgrace," says Atlas. "Every one of these organizations is corrupt. It's a joke. Peter has been mandated the number one contender, twice in fact. Now all of a sudden, because of money, it's OK for the mandated guy to be pushed aside and to give the fight to a guy who has been away for two years? These organizations have rules that say that at anytime they can forego all other rules and do whatever they want. There is actually a rule that says that. It's nuts." |

[quote=paul750]He was avoided like the plaque. He beat everyone in front of him. Anyone with sense knows he was the best in the division at that time.
This is pointless.[/quote]
I would agree with you on this
BTW, just because a fighter is avoided, does not mean that he rules the divis... |

I think he would do the same to Lewis if they ever crossed paths |
