    And Steward is a much nicer guy, and unlike Atlas, he's mentally stable. I can't imagine Steward going to Donny Lalonde's or any boxer's house with a gun like Atlas did.
    Also, you are right on both accounts. Steward's work with Hearns, Wlad and Lewis is better than anything Atlas has done.

    Atlas is also INCREDIBLY annoying when commentating.

        Manny is better at training and coaching fighters.

        Teddy is better at coaching for the cameras and bringing attention to himself.

            Of course Manny is kicking Teddy's ass. Name me one fighter that Teddy trained from 0-0 that has any name recognition?

            And Moorer was who he was before Teddy ever nudged his way in the door. And lets not forget who taught Michael Moorer the basics.

              Manny has Wlad, Lewis, Hearns, and many other great champions. Atlas only had Tyson for a little bit and Tyson didn't live up to his expections losing to Douglas, Williams, Mcbride. But, Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion but lost to some clowns.

                you're obsessed with Teddy Atlas, and honestly this is a really lame topic. Everyone knows you have a nasty bias regarding Teddy. Who's had the best results? What a ridiculous question. Obviously Stewart has more championship fighters working with him as he's the active trainer. Atlas has been effectively retired from training for years(up until Povetkin if that works out.) Another weak effort to b*tch and whine about Atlas. You constantly reference all the negatives concerning Atlas but it doesn't mean anything cause you don't give any play to the tons of positive stuff he's done.

                  Atlas was just Cus D'Amato's assistant for a short time. Tyson didn't do well working with Teddy, he failed to win in the qualifier for the 2004 Olympics.

                  Cus fired the mentally unstable Teddy, after Atlas held a gun to Tyson's head. Tyson improved rapidly after Atlas was gone.

                  Atlas is a loser. Just after he yelled at Moorer and distracted him, Foreman KOed him. If Teddy had kept his mouth shut and not broken Moorer's concentration, he probably would have won the fight.

                      I think Steward has done more in his career as a trainer. For that reason, I would have to choose him.
