Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Explains Fallout With Francis Ngannou's Team Over Training Offer

Sometimes disappointments turn out to be for the better - Atlas is much better off not being involved in this clown show.

Mike isn't going to teach Francis anything and Francis isn't there to learn anyway. He's there to chase Fury around the ring for 25 minutes and then get KO'd once he gasses.

it's nothing more than a cash grab and this is what boxing has become.

Best move Nangano made was not using Atlas who's missing a couple of screws. Atlas is a horrible coach and his drama leaves a lot to be desired. ESPN took him out as an analyst because of his crazy drama. Many of the fighters he previously trained have kicked his butt. If Atlas is not taking his meds, he’s very unpredictable.

They should have NEVER done that! That's where you want the drama! They took him out because he spoke truth to power! Manny got robbed!

Teddy's old bitter ass needs to get over himself already. Nobody owes you ****. He asked you to train him. You asked for a probation period. And they moved the **** on. Teddy gotta be one of the most overrated trainers of all time. Besides Michael Moorer what fighters did he guide to a title?....his fireman speech to Timothy Bradley gotta be one of the cringiest moments in sports history.

He always tried to make himself the star of the show. And I never believed him over Tyson. That's why cus kicked his ass out the house and cut all ties with him. This is the same guy who said when he got fired by Donny lalonde, he went to Donny's house with a gun and intended to kill him. But we know he wouldn't cause he's afraid to bust his gun. Like Tyson said, teddy is just a wimpy old dude who wants everyone to believe he's some tough mafia guy. But deep down he's a chump. One of the biggest scumbags in boxing history.

Fireman speech was terrific.

Atlas is a drama Queen. He always finds a way to be the center of attention in any fight. Believe me, Atlas is a head case and loose cannon with serious mental issues. I remember when boxer Ricardo Salazar kicked his ass in Atlantic City.

Mike Tyson has been on the record saying Atlas likes young boys. That scar on Atlas face came from fighter he tried to get frisky with.

Post some facts backing up the claims lol

I could completely understand Atlas' view... if this was an actual boxer in a real fight.

But it's not a real fight, it's a show. It's a bit rich to act surprised that someone's behaviours may not be up to industry standard when they're performing in a glorified stage show. Of course he took a 'box office' trainer rather than someone who can actually train fighters. It's very appropriate for a 'boxer' who can't actually box.

don't mind Atlas but he had the balls to get up Jeff Horn for getting the judges nod over Pacquiao for just "trying Hard" when he had Tim Bradley right there with him were laughable (even though I copped **** for scoring the fight for Bradley lol)
