Povetkin fans rejoice! Atlas wants to train Povetkin :)

Atlas was a good trainer but he became nut these past years...

Is Teddy Atlas a good trainer? What is his resume in this area? I am worried for Povetkin.

lol haye would obliterate povetkin You're on crack, the same Haye who has done nothing at heavyweight and only brags about his cruiserweight wins? That haye? :pat:

Povetkin looks like Corky http://www.sportreport.ru/wp-content/uploads/boks/Povetkin_3.jpg http://www.mygtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/corky.jpg

I've never picked against Wlad ever, but if he fights Povetkin it will be one of Wlads hardest fights I believe... I guess I'm just too much of Povetkin fan to admit he might be jabbed in the face a million times. But I don't think your friend David Haye would do much better against Wlad if Wlads Jab does get through and hits Povetkin. lol haye would obliterate povetkin

Atlas is too far up his own arse to train this guy.

Have you ever heard of former Heavyweight Champ Michael Moorer? LOL!!! Anyway, this could help Povetkin to be more aggressive and learn how to get inside better but he is too feather fisted to give Wladdy any trouble... Teddy also trained Michael Grant after he lost to Lewis. I remember Teddy screaming and insulting Grant on national TV. Teddy made him look like a fool, which killed any chance he had of ever getting his confidence back.

i think it would be interesting to see atlas as a trainer, he did some work with a young mike tyson but tyson was very much a product of cus's work and atlas would work the pads or reiterate the same tips that cus would give him. imo atlas does have some boxing knowledge and might actually be a good trainer. as long as his training is better than his predicting then povetkin might be alright.

povetkin is just another shorter fat guy for wlad to jab all night long

Is this something that's actually being considered by Povetkin's camp, or is it just Atlas stating he'd like to train him ?

Anyone think, Povetkin looks like Hatton on steroids? He's the 'Dark Horse' for sure.. Should go with Roach or Steward.. Atlas is too controversial..

I think Atlas just wants a free trip to Russia :lol1:

Povetkin always looks soft, like he doesn't train that hard. Atlas is fairly hardcore and doesn't like to hear "it hurts" or "it's too hard", could be a bad matchup I don't know.

It's not a bad match for Povetkin but you know Atlas is going to pick him to win. So he's screwed.

Povetkin has the best amateur record of all time at super heavyweight. He doesn't need to train with an idiot like Atlas! :no: He needs to learn how to fight as a professional and het better defense. He still fights the same way he did as an amateur. He has to get rid of his stupid russian amateurtrainer. He still fighting and training like an amateur. He has to learn defense and upperbody movement. If he doesnt change his stile, he has ZERO chance against Wlad.

lol its too late for that. his next fight is with wlad. aka his career is over I've never picked against Wlad ever, but if he fights Povetkin it will be one of Wlads hardest fights I believe... I guess I'm just too much of Povetkin fan to admit he might be jabbed in the face a million times.

ATLAS WAS NEVER TYSON'S TRAINER. He was an assistant to Tyson's trainer for a short period of time, but Tyson's trainer Amato fired him after Teddy held a gun to the 15 year old Tyson's head. Atlas is an idiot who always screws up. I saw some videos of him training Tyson even if he was just the assistance I thought he showed Tyson good movements and defense and to move his head. I guess Tyson was 14-15 in the video, he just has a big ass body for his age.

Povetkin has the best amateur record of all time at super heavyweight. He doesn't need to train with an idiot like Atlas! :no: The same atlas who trained Tyson? I don't know tunney, I disagree I think Atlas is a pretty good trainer.
