is there really benefit for bradley swapping Diaz for atlas?

Bradley got his first KO in like 4 years against a guy that outweighed him by 15 pounds and had never been stopped, not even by Manny with just 7 weeks under Atlas. Bradley got hurt both times he faced Pac. With Atlas in his corner and no injury, he's going to box Pac up. Rios was a shell, well a fat shell, of his former self. He barely made training camp and was about to quit. He had to literally be talked into continuing to train for the fight. We'll really have to see how Bradley does against Pacquiao this time around, in order to judge Atlas' effectiveness.

I mean what really is teddy gonna do for timmy to improve his chances against manny, what can he show him? I get it teddy's a big talker in the corner and helps motivate. but after rewatching manny bradley 1 and 2, I realized that Diaz was a big factor in getting bradley UP for the rounds....Diaz would get in bradley ass during the fight to catch his 2nd wind and keep on trying. to me the combo of Diaz and bradley father are just as uplifting in the corner as atlas can be...... I'm just expecting a good fight. because these both fighters are warriors and they give good competitive scraps when to go at it .....that said manny wins again.. Teddy Atlas seems to have better eyes than Joel Diaz, in the sense of being able to pick up on patterns and effectively communicate tactical changes that his fighter can male to take advantage of what he sees. You add that Teddy seems to also have Bradley's confidence, in addition to being a great motivator in his own right, and the move seems like it'll work out.

It added more hype to his fights. Thus additional seats in the arena. Similar to Pascal flowering his entourage by adding Roach in it.

Not surprised to see the Atlas hate in this thread. I think Atlas and Bradley are a great fit. Bradley was brought up by his father in that drill instructor type way and that's what Atlas brings to the table, came into Tim's gym and just took over. A lot of people wouldn't be able to handle that because they are too full of themselves but it's the perfect fit for Tim in my opinion. Didn't Bradley himself say Atlas has already in their first camp taught him things he never learned in all the years he was with Diaz? If Bradley feels he has a better chance with Atlas as his trainer then so be it, I won't hate on it cause I'm not the one in that situation. Exactly....people don't want to hear the truth. All they care about is the unjust decision he got in the first Pac fight and how fat Monica is.

I think Atlas is one of the most overrated people in boxing both as a so called boxing expert and a trainer. He won't hurt or help Bradley. Atlas is not a better trainer than Diaz. Pacquiao will beat him again even at 37 years old because he is the better fighter. Atlas said Bradley deserved to win the first fight. What kind of boxing expert says something that stupid??? Atlas has a track record of picking the wrong winner in almost all major fights. He picked Cotto to beat Canelo. Wrong again as usual. Off the subject, Atlas is the biggest blabbermouth of all fight callers and has ruined my enjoyment of many fights with his non stop talking during the fight. In a 3 minute round Atlas will spend that entire 3 minutes TALKING. He is in love with his own voice. Atlas had a handful of amateur fights before a bad back ended his amateur career. He had a few successes training well established boxers and a few failures and boxers who fired him. I don't think he ever trained any boxer from the start of his career the way Diaz did with Bradley.

He showed some new moves against Rios, but it was a bad version of Rios. We won't know for sure just how much Atlas helps until the Pac fight. If Bradley shows those same new moves against a live body, then we'll know Atlas was good for him, even if those new moves aren't enough to win.

I dont think that anyone is a better fit for Bradley as a fighter than Diaz, BUT if there are trust issues and beef with Tims wife and all that, maybe it would be better for Bradley to go with Atlas for a more stress free camp. But the way Tim went about it was incredibly ****ty.

IMO no, it had to do more with drama between timmy,his wife,and joel. timmy is ungrateful and so is joel's sister(timmy's wife). diaz loved him like a brother and took him where he is today,now timmy is bashing his ex-trainer. Atlas is only there for moral support and to call him a fire man.:peeright:

the problem is, timmy doesn't have that much power behind his punches. that's the game changer. manny out works Tim most of the time but Tim counters him with some big shots here and there. if he had real power he could get manny out of there

I think if there's improvements it's just all within Bradley. I don't think the trainer would matter much. He changed trainers because he wanted something new, fresh and wanted to reinvent himself, that's a man with a purpose. He might have the extra focus to pull it out this time. Then we can pretend he won the first fight for real and the second could have been a draw.
