[BritishBoxing92]

World renowned trainer Teddy Atlas has been working with Russian-born heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin since July. Although the two have had only one fight together, a third-round knockout win over Leo Nolan last month, Atlas can see the potential in his young charge. [Click Here To Read More]

only a matter of time he turns on him......probably wont piss him off enough for him to put a gun at his head like he did to a young mike tyson....although i kind of wish Mike then broke his jaw for that..

You do know that Tyson touched Teddy's niece inappropriately, right?

If someone did that to one of your female family members you wouldn't put a gun to their head?

Povetkin is the best heavyweight not named Klitschko.

Grant and Moorer tended to get lazy and undisciplined which is why they clashed with Atlas.

Povetkin strikes me like the type of guy who will keep his mouth shut and work hard on what Teddy tells him to.

Agreed. I think Povetkin and Atlas will have good chemistry. The Russian Povetkin is mentally and physically tougher than the American mental weaklings that Atlas trained in the past.

LOL! I actually agree with your accurate statement of weak minded American heavyweights.povetkin & atlas will be a good mix for a few fights anyway.

I too agree that our recent American heavyweights are weak minded. It's shameful.

Doesn't change the fact that the American boxing knowledge that was developed from the late 1800s to the 1940s and 1950s is the best in the world, bar none.

And trainers such as Atlas who have links back to those days possess a rare and precious treasure.
