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.
