Teddy Atlas: It's insulting to compare Mayweather to great fighters

[-Antonio-]

How can Mayweather be mention with the big names in the history in the sport when he never ever has shown the heart of the champion??? has he ever fought 9 rounds with a big gash in his eye ala Cotto? NO, has ever come back from a couple of Knockdowns to impose his will and win ala Chico Corrales? NO, or has he ever egaged in a battle ala Marquez-Vasquez? NO? so how the hell you can call that an ATG? how? you should be shamed if you do.

For me Mayweather is one of the best defensive wizards of all times period. Plus he doesnt help himself either because he isnt humble and talk to much s__t to be running like he does in the ring. In fact he is one of the most boring fighters to watch, well can you imagine yourself watching a chess match sunday afternoon on TV? boring as hell my friends....

You can't reward guys for putting themselves in situations Floyd is capable of avoiding.

Atlas always attacks defensive fighters. And he doesn't like the klitschkos because of their ethnicity.

Hes training Povetkin :S

This proves to me that Floyd is already an all time great. He is already being mentioned in the conversation in the books.Press is Pres.

Sorry buddy its not about that but that Mayweather in fact would be all smiles if the fights were fought actually each fighter hitting each other with feather instead of their fists. Anyways in dancing with the stars he is an all time great, no doubt about it.

He couldnt cherry pick his opposition.

props to Teddy for telling the truth..

We will see in 20 years. I think there is a tendency to look on those who came before us with rose lenses.

The same way people say society was more civilised 50 years despite the fact that 50 years ago I wouldn't be able to go to school would probably have pitbulls set on me and what not.

It's not nearly as offensive as when I hear people compare Teddy Atlas to the great trainers of the sport.

People also can't reward Floyd for avoiding the guys that he does.


"oh well, he was great at 130 and 135, so hes great at 147".


Nah, doesn't work like that.
