Povetkin was always entertaining.

Teddy likely won't be able to change him into a typical boring American "one punch then hold" fighter like Hopkins, Ruiz and Ward, or a dull American defensive pitty-pat runner like Dawson, Spinks and Dirrell.

Why would Atlas teach povetkin to fight like john ruiz, Wladimir Klitshcko, ...
That not his style, I was thinking more like Mike Tyson.

Tyson hasn't fought in years.

Most East European boxers (Lebedev, Lomachenko, Fedesov, Glazkov, Frenkel, Pirog, Boytsov, Povetkin, etc) are FAR more entertaining to watch than MOST American boxers (Ward, Dirrell, Spinks, Hopkins, Mayweather, Dawson, Ruiz, etc).

However, some of the West European boxers like Sebastian Zbik are dull to watch.

Wheter you believe it or not, Teddy Atlas actually does believe in Povetkin. If he didn't he would let povetkin fight Wlad a long time ago and collect his paycheck.

He wants to teach povetkin more headmovement, slipping punches, throwing different combination , and better footwork before putting him against Wlad. Somethin Povetkins east european coaches havent tought him.

If you find those people you mentioned entertaining then i suggest you to watch irish bare knuckle fights. All people who stand straight and throw slow robotic 1-2 combination, you will love it.

Well these Americans can keep being "entertaining", and the Eastern Euros will keep knocking them out and holding all the belts. Except I don't think you find it so "entertaining" when all of your top American fighters wind up being unconcsious when they face an Eastern Euro, so you criticize the Eastern Euros on the one subjective factor you can - your own subjective opinion of what "entertainment" is. I on the other hand, found it very entertaining when Pirog KTFO Jacobs and when Wlad KTFO Chambers. I will also find the beating Vitaly will administer to Briggs VERY entertaining.
