I personally think he's great for boxing and we need more like him. I have to say I'm not surprised with what Teddy said last night when he was asked how to fix boxing, He always speaks from the heart and doesn't hold back any punches, but I do have to say I'm releived that at least someone that has a platform such as he has chooses to use it to call out the sanctioning bodies, promoters, TV companies, judges and the joke called the ABC. Have been a fan for years and yesterday just added to my appreciation for him.
lol, you don't even know what the ABC actually is yet you jump on the boxing bashing bandwagon. Tell me then, what is the ABC and what are it's functions............... Rockin':loser:
the hell is your problem dumbass.
go **** off if you're just going to be a cunt.
The only thing I liked about Atlas-and I've seen him for many years- was the rambling way he fracured the English language, the way he struggles with his manufactured mis-pronounced and unsuitable words. He constantly tries to show off, and takes himself so seriously that he never realises that he's making an utter fool of himself. A self-opinated, unfunny fool.
If you guys ever heard of Yogi Berra, he was/is the Yogi Berra of boxing.........but only as far as murdering the vernacular is concerned. For the rest, he doesn't match up.
I don't like him, I'm sorry for him.
You're mently challenged.
I'd imagine Atlas is not well liked amongst boxing fans and his piers
Ask Shannon Briggs, Michael Grant, and Michael Moorer what the think of him. He's a self serving douche. We're talking about a guy who was in the booth instead of sticking to the corner of his fighter, Muriqi, who lost.

Remember, you asked the question. No, I don't like Atlas. He talks way to much. In fact he never stops talking. During a 3 minute round of boxing he will talk 3 minutes never stopping to take a breath. He is very critical of the boxers and often questions their courage. He had a very short career as an amateur boxer so I don't think he should be so critical of fighters who have done so much. No matter how good the guys in the ring are doing Atlas always finds something wrong with the way they are fighting. I have never been impressed with his boxing knowledge.
I've read that he had 9 amateur fights of which he lost 5. And I believe that he was an unpaid amateur trainee trainer in D'Amato's gym, was sent away after the Tyson incident with the gun.....
I used to see him every Friday night, and I've always thought he was a mental case, who takes himself veeerrry seriously. He does seem to love boxing, as if it were a lifeline for him.
I was gonna say all fighters react differently to different coaching styles maybe he was like that with Povetkin cause that's the only way he responded tothe Teddy. Maybe ,maybe not
Look at the stuff he was saying to Povetkin during the Chagaev fight. Look at the way he would abuse Moorer during their time together.
Those two knuckleheads needed a good talking to. And someone that would try to light a fire under their ass.
One thing I'll say about Teddy is that for some reason he always picks mentally weak fighters to work with. He should try training someone normal for once.
Teddy can be a bit biased and can over analyze things too much. I like him because he's not afraid to speak his mind. He loves and cares so much for this sport that he's willing to put everything that's corrupt in boxing on blast.
He's tied for my second favorite announcer...
