How do you like Atlas as a commentator?

Outsource I didn't like the fact that Teddy suggested that the US should look to the cubans for better trainers and where has Barry Hunter been I havn't seen him in nobody corner I thought he was the head man.

IMO he is one of the best. He loves this sport. His job is his passion...and if you ever get a chance to talk with him in person ...do so! I have and he is a great person and down to earth real human! As a commentator...he the best IMO! I co sign, I got to meet teddy by before the pac_marg fight. I told him to break it down, he litteraly took 15 mins to do so good stuff great guy.

Man August 1st 2012 one of the most corrupt and horrific days of Olympic Boxing was summed up by Teddy in a nice, terrific sentence. It was during the Joshua-Savon fight and they were speaking of Joshua not receiving Gold Medal in the Azerbaijan trials. "He got robbed, he had no chance in that kind of corrupt environment. We've seen it here, we've witnessed it, we understand it......unfortunately."

It just occurred to me, how many other former trainers are now commentators?

Atlas is great because hes a truth factor, hes gonna say how he feels and hes not worried how the big heads of the network are gonna feel about it. Hes not worried about backlash, or being politically neutral, if he feels someones is sucking at their job he will blow their doors in publically, like he did Arum a few months ago. Atlas is great, he diversifies the announcer field in boxing. ^^this right there^^^ I also love his enthusiasm for the sport. With all the crap that happens, you can actually feel how invested he is in the game. Like Reed said he has no problem bashing everyone and everything that is wrong. He fights the fight we cant. He is crazy in a good way, also funny and very knowledgeable.

He is completely biased, but most of the nonsense and rumor mill stuff he talks about tends to come to fruition. He is so deeply embedded in the sport that he can do whatever he wants. I can't hate on him for sharing his opinion on the sport no matter how much Klitschko and Pac fanboys want to hate and discredit him.

Teddy Atlas is a hypocritical certified nutjob. This dude is one of the craziest people in boxing, one of biggest attention wh0res, etc etc. Too many examples to list on this guy. But this is the guy who stuck a gun in Tysons face and ran into a random boxing gym with a shotgun because they didnt leave enough time for one of his fighters to spar. An Alcoholic druggie who's brother killed their own granny, who always bashes other fighters/countries but will gladly work with them. A reason nobody wants him as a trainer...... Teddy is a crazy mofo but Tyson touched his 14 yr old niece inappropriately, I understand his reaction. Don't mess with someone's family.

got to kick it with Teddy during Friday Night Fights @ The Keys. offered him a beer and he said "no, but i'll sit here and watch you drink one". Wasn't awkward at all. Did he give you advice on how to drink it?

he sucks...he's a f0cking liar just to hate on a fighter...he should've gotten fired for the fake email incident

"he needs to charge him real estate...for every two feet in, two punches" "he must've been watching my fight plan!" But yeah, teddy is cool he just gets way too excited and uses a bunch of crazy analogies. Lampley and Merchant are two of the worst boxing commentators.

The Best !

Medved, lotsa ignorant statements in your post and some downright lies. That aside, name me one boxing commentator with Teddys boxing knowledge. Or do you hate him because he's an American?

I don't like the ESPN crew at all. I even hate them on the PS3 fight night games.

I've been a boxing fan for 35+ years and IMO, Teddy's the best combination of knowledge and enthusiasm ever.

Atlas says what he really feels. That's why I like him. Even if he's wrong, you know it's him saying it.

He really isn't that bad IMO. His pre-fight analysis are crazy at times but he does know his stuff and is pretty enthusiastic. Above all he is partial and fair...even if the fighter he likes is not winning, he gives the other guy his dues.

Honest and knowledgeable about the game. Good with me any day.
