Teddy Atlas Predicts De La Hoya-Mayweather

[Guest]

why didn't you just copy and paste what atlas said instead typing the exact same thing

As far as Atlas' prediction, I can now rest assured that Mayweather is going to win the fight. Atlas' predictions are a joke. He ALWAYS picks the underdog and he ALWAYS picks wrong. Like someone else said, he was picking Judah over Mayweather.

He is knowledgable, but that does not make him a great trainer. Lots of trainers or fighters know technical aspects.

His one shining moment came when he "willed" Moorer to victory over Holyfield having an off-night. Moorer wasn't even listening to Atlas, he was getting even lazier when Atlas yelled at him.

Moorer showed way more motivation and desire before and after he was with Atlas.

What else did Atlas do? Humiliate Michael Grant. Work a short time with Donny Lalonde? Feed Elvis stiffs that didn't belong in the ring with him?

Atlas is one of the most overrated trainers in the game. His track record is not impressive, and his ability to "motivate" or "inspire" his fighters doesn't look all that impressive in this regard either.

Damn And if Roach didnt agree to train oscar...atlas would of been the trainer for oscar...it always makes me wonder why atlas stopped training i mean he blames other fighters for not havin heard but yet he doesnt have the desire to train or the patience.

That wasnt a prediction of who would win. He just said Oscar could win. I enjoy Teddy's work for ESPN. I think hes on point most of the time.

teddy's predictions are ok, and see oscar trying to adapt that style against mayweather, but another prediction that could be a factor is the one mosley made, if you guys heard mosley's interview yesterday,
he said that floyd might underestimate oscar's speed and power,
he will find-out out for himself in the ring, he is going to be surprised.

LOL Atlas picked Judah to beat Mayweather! He's so full of ****

[tito yuca]

Has Teddy not seen Floyd fight? He says timing beats speed - who has better timing in boxing today than Floyd?

"Unlike Mayweather's bout with Zab Judah, Atlas feels that De La Hoya has a very good chance to pull off the upset.

"It's not hard to like the youth and speed of Mayweather. But you can make a case for De La Hoya. You look at Zab Judah (vs. Mayweather) — he didn't have any substance," Atlas said."


Atlas picked Judah to beat Mayweather. He said on FNF that Judah's style would propel him to win an ugly fight.

You are right, I was just thinking the same thing while I was reading the article. He did pick Judah to win.
