Why is Teddy Atlas hated that much ?

Personally I think he's a moron with an annoying voice and shit analogies.

Everytime I see him speak on friday night fights I wanna punch him in his face, he has that look that. Especially when he tries to be serious and when they pan the camera on his weird mis-shaped face.

Annoying voice, annoying face, annoying advice, stubborn, racist, bigot.

I like Teddy, I think he does talk a bit too much though and sometimes may even talk without thinking things out a bit.

Its weird.

Agreed. I wish he'd shut the fuck up and let Joe do more of the talking.

The guy throws airplane punches... they need somewhere to land.

Spot on S.G. He is just the worst.

Atlas is the man. He's old school and a tough SOB. I think his analogies are all classic. He's my favorite outside of HBO's mainstays. Love him or hate him, he seems to force a reaction out of viewers, which is why he's still no the air. I wish he'd really get back into training. I'd love to hear some new audio of him giving corner advice during a big championship fight. Will Povetkin ever get to that stage on an HBO or Showtime card? Doubtful IMO.

Lampley is exciting when he talks. He is also the blow by blow guy... like Tessitore. Atlas is supposed to be Merchant, the guy who gives the in-depth analysis on things, and says meaningful things, that aren't just supposed to get people excited.

Atlas actually makes fights less enjoyable for me.

Showtime should steal Tessitore so I would have no reason to watch the fights on FNF. I'd just tune in to watch BK in studio.
