Povetkin vs Chambers Rematch For The IBF-Interim Belt?

[Derranged_]

I'd rather see Chambers vs Povetkin so there can only be one mandatory. If Povetkin wants a title shot without waiting too long, he might as well go for another belt because Wladimir will be fighting Chambers first. In the meantime Chambers will stay busy too, maybe against someone Oleg Maskaev.

Yeah, every sane boxing fan wants to see the Chambers-Povetkin rematch for the interim title and a shot against Wlad. And why is Sam Peter ranked as high as he is? He's lost against Chambers and Vitali and hasn't beaten anyone of mention...

No, but even if he had been, it wouldn't have justified attempted murder.

Here's an article by Donny Lalonde on Teddy:

Fight news recent interview with ESPN commentator and trainer Teddy Atlas has drawn quite the reaction from fight fans all across North America. In the exclusive interview, Atlas touched on having to go to Winnipeg and broadcast a fight of Donny Lalonde in 2003, a former world champion on the comeback trail at the time, and somebody Atlas had trained years previous. It is revealed in his book, "Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's struggle to Become a Man," that Atlas came very close to murdering the ‘Golden Boy’ from Winnipeg in his New York City apartment, many years previous to their reunion in Winnipeg. In the book, Atlas describes getting a gun and going into the city, ready to get the job done. Getting buzzed into the building by another tenant and knocking on Lalonde’s door. "If he had opened the door, he was dead," Atlas writes, "I would have pulled the trigger, turned around, and walked away."

Teddy waited through the night, waited for Lalonde to return, phoning the apartment periodically. When he finally got through, Lalonde’s girlfriend picked up. Atlas asked if Donny was there, and when the answer came back yes, he hung up and started making his way over to the apartment, still intent to finish the job he came to do. Somewhere during that walk, Atlas changed his mind, for whatever reason, he decided not to go down the path that would take Lalonde’s life and forever alter his own, likely ruining it. Lalonde who had let Atlas go as a trainer, had no idea how close he actually was to dieing, had no idea that had he not been out that evening, he would have likely been dead. He found out two weeks ago.

“The first I heard of this was about two weeks ago from a friend and former fighter Danny Vandal, the former mayor of Winnipeg,” Lalonde tells fight news from his beachfront home in Costa Rica. “It actually didn't even surprise me when I heard it. Teddy got into fights with trainers and fighters quite a bit when I was with him. He may not be the most stable person walking around.”

interesting article but that was a long time ago.I was an animal when I was younger,hung around bad people but then I figured it out.obviously teddy had some serious hatred & issues with sonny lalonde but at the same time he admitted his wrong thinking.he never actually did it.he's an aggressive person but people change over time.that article doesn't mean teddy atlas is a bad trainer.if he was so bad then so many good fighters wouldn't have asked for his services.so what he thought about it.did he get charged with attempted murder? I didn't read anything about that so I think the article is the full story.teddy also wouldn't be on espn boxing if he was mentally unstable.boxing is a sport where criminals are welcome though.the article doesn't bother me one bit.I still like teddy!
