Teddy Atlas predicts Sultan Ibragimov will defeat Wladimir Klitschko

[THe TRiNiTY]

Remember how he always used to make fun of Kellerman's predictions? They couldn't have been worse than his.

Yeah.. Lol. Very ******. He'd damn-near mock him as if he's spewing out gold over here.

Teddy Atlas is so wrong.

Wlad by TKO 5th Round, Big Mismatch.

Like Max Kellerman, Teddy Atlas hates Wladimir Klitschko. It seems rather petty for him to feel that way - is the short, ugly, ****** Atlas envious of the tall, good-looking, intelligent Wladimir?

That reminds me of something I heard Kellerman say after the first WK-Byrd fight. He said that if they were the same size, Byrd would have destroyed him. I could maybe see that point if the fight had been a little bit close (it wasn't), but that was the most irrelevant rationalization I ever remember hearing.

Also, you can add Harold Lederman to the Klitschko haters. Lampley has seemed embarrassed by his comments about him occassionally.

Why would they dislike him?

[Scott9945]

Exactly, a lot of well-known "experts" do that.

Angelo Dundee is another one who does. He always picked the underdog, then was being lauded when Douglas KO'd Tyson. It's kind of like always betting on the longest shot in a horse race. When you finally hit a winner, does that make you a genius?

Tonight on ESPN, Teddy Atlas predicted Sultan will KO Wlad tomorrow night. He also referred to Sultan as the "younger fighter", but Wlad is younger than Sultan.

Over the years, Atlas has never tried to hide his dislike for the Klitschkos. But he's making himself look ****** by making such a foolish prediction.

He also said Tarver would defeat Hopkins, Barrera would defeat Pacquiao, Taylor would defeat Pavlik (first fight), and Kessler would defeat Calzaghe. He was wrong every time!

Sometimes I wonder, how well does he really know the fighters?

Most of those predictions are within reason, though.

If I got a dime for every time Teddy picked the wrong guy I would be a ****ing millionaire....Thanks Teddy ..... Now there's no way Wlad can lose.

Amen Brother, No ****ing way Wlad can lose.

[The Hammer]

Why would they dislike him?

I think it's envy. Wladimir is everything they're not - tall, good-looking, highly intelligent.

[Enayze]

Atlas tends to be all over the place in big name fights, & really sharp with smaller "working" fights...

This is wonderful news for wlad
