    Alot of people dont like Atlas cuz he is 99% wrong in his predictions cuz he always goes for underdog!
    Moorer didn't even listen to Atlas. Atlas pleaded with Moorer, practically begged Moorer, to fight harder in the Holyfield fight. Moorer went out and slept-walked some more. Even Jim Lampley said "Moorer's going to get another scorching in the corner from Teddy Atlas after his performance in this round". Moorer didn't listen to Atlas either against Foreman and got KTFO.

    Moorer fought with more passion and heart with trainers like Steward and Roach than he did with Atlas pulling his dramatic antics in the corner.

    Moorer was fortunate to fight an off-form Holyfield in the first fight, whether it was a shoulder injury, heart problem, HGH-itis, weakened legs from impregnating 20 women, whatever....The Holyfield in the rematch was closer to his top form and would've beaten Moorer whether it was Roach, Atlas, Steward, or whomever training him.

      Everything Teddy ever did ended in failure.

      He was FIRED as Cus D'Amato's assistant.

      Atlas eventually ruined Moorer, remember Foreman KOed him.

      Then there was a string of about 12 unfortunate boxers who made the mistake of hiring Teddy: Junior Jones, Donny Lalonde, Michael Grant, etc.

      And now he's ruining Povetkin, the 2004 Olympic champion who was regarded by some a couple of years ago as potentially the next top heavyweight.

        I really don't think Atlas should be given much blame for Moorer given that Moorer didn't even listen to him. At the same time, he shouldn't be given all this credit for "inspiring" Moorer to the win over Holyfield since Moorer didn't listen to him.
