Ok. let's take a look at their accomplishments Teddy. Let's see, you state that Wladimir had 37 fights before he won his first belt. Ok, that's true, but what you fail to state is that he was only 24 years old and only 4 years into his pro career. Povetkin is 31 and has been a pro for 5 years. Which means Wlad was fighting almost every two months. Stop playing with the truth, the Klitschkos are just good and you fail to give them credit but too scared to put your fighter against them.

It's good that for once, the de****able Teddy will NOT on the ESPN telecast discrediting Vitali, because he's working Povetkin's "fight".

Lol at grabbed his wife after a long separation.

Oh, as a side note to the writer, when Atlas says things like "he hugs his opponents like it's his wife after a long separation" , he is not giving credit to Wladimir. Can you not understand backhanded criticism?

Atlas is a tool. His ego won't let him admit it, because he has bashed the Klitschkos so much, but he knows that both Vitaly and Wlad are ATGs, Povetkin can never beat them, with or withou his help.

Lol at grabbed his wife after a long separation.

His other quote was "Grabs you like an octopus" in the Peter 2 fight. Teddy 1st words are always negative as in "even though he is boring", blah blah. Tyson got me into boxing and he was my most adored fighter, after round 5 or so, he was "usually" much more boring that either Klitschko looking back now. Potvetkin? Is he really that exciting? Potvetkin is about as exciting as Eddie Chambers. Good yes, exceting... I cant wait to watch his fight on Saturday? Dont think so. I understand Teddy's decisions but they are all smokescreen to avoid fighting the Klitschkos because there is nothing he can do that will allow Potvetkin to beat either and dosent want his name associated to that loss. Dont like Teddy very much. Escpecially as a commentator.

Yep, it doesnt matter how many fights he had, he was fighting every couple months and racking up that experience. Its not Wlad or Vitali's fault that Povetkin fight's once a year ala David Haye.

Im going to be laughing my ass off when Wlad and Vitali retire then magically the HW division will be "amazing again" and these bums are going to start calling Wlad out "Oh if Wlad was still fighting I would whoop him"

[McFearless]

Atlas is annoying.. He always has to try to put them down like during the Peter 2 telecast the commentator said something like "but they sell like 40,000 60,000 tix in these stadiums" and Teddy quickly countered "yeah in arenas that fit 100,000 and there's no sports that people go and watch in these countries"

I muted the damn tv after that, I couldn't hear his annoying ass voice talking crap the whole time

That is good news. Atlas' bias is so transparent it is laughable.

[chav]

i'm not a fan of wlad, his hug, panic, jab, hug etc doesnt do it for me, but he's definately very good at what he does, no doubt...full credit due. but to slight vitali i cant. the guy is fine heavyweight, which ever era in my eyes and he beats the living daylights out of povetkin all day every day and that upsets atlas and he just cant handle it lol
