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.

My first thought is why does Teddy need to air this in public.

Personally I like Atlas. I know some folks don't like him. If you do not like him, I encourage you to read his book. Aside from a lot of really cool boxing history in there, you can see into a really unique character.

So we’re supposed to like him just because he wrote a silly book? Lmao everyone rides books these days . Teddy atlas thinks he’s bigger than what he actually is

Why could not Atlas work with Tyson they have before ***** still worried he gonna **** his niece

It sounds like a sour deal turned good. Ngannaou gets to train with his idol, and Atlas doesn't have to deal with all the drama. Negativity and Boxing don't mix.

Teddy Atlas is a fcking clown. This man should be grateful that fighters are even coming up to him, remembering him and giving him a shot to get paid and get attention. Tim Bradley gave him a shot for Pacquiao and Pacquiao still whooped both of them. This mf talking about giving fighters a “trial” lmao clown mf. Nacho Beristain has like 20 world champions to his name. Robert Garcia has 15, and even those guys take young or solidified guys and work with them. I’m glad Teddy atlas got fired from ESPN too, he thinks just cause he shouts he knows what he’s talking about

[Phase III]

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.

Teddy Atlas is very knowledgeable at what he does and is great at seeing things, but no one should have this man in their corner. One of the top rules for trainers is to not get excited. Once a trainer gets nervous and starts yelling, it's going to make the fighter nervous and once a fighter is nervous, his energy is gone. I was never a fan of his corner work.
