    Who would be a good choice to replace Teddy Atlas?

    Who would you like to see replace the boring, repetitive Teddy Atlas on ESPN?

    Bernard Hopkins, Shannon Briggs, Nate Campbell?

    Perhaps John Skully or Joe Mesi?

    Any of those would be better than Teddy, but my first choice would be John Skully.

    I will vote for B-hop.

    For obvious reasons.

      I think switching off would be good. Though I'd like to see more of Allan Green comentating

        I think either Bernard Hopkins or Allan Green would be MUCH better than Atlas.

        Hopkins is a smart guy, it would be interesting to listen to his insights into what's going on in fights.

          What it is it with your hate for Atlas and Kellerman?

          They are both better than Bob Papa and Joe Tessitore.

            Yeah, Allan Green is a natural color commentator. Too bad he is on the ****-list with ESPN.

              Derranged, here's a better explation of why I don't like Atlas than I could give myself:



              Did you watch the fight and hear Teddy's commentary on Saturday. Teddy was very unprofessional. He sounded like Archie Bunker bashing foreigners.

                Teddy Atlas does a great job of keeping some of those miserable matchups interesting. Sometimes his passion for boxing results in subjectiveness but overall he keeps the energy up better than anyone i've seen mentioned. The only other person who would be nearly as entertaining as him is B-Hop. We're fortunate to have Atlas in his current role.
