Fighters who are trained by Teddy Atlas have had very little success while with him, regardless of their talent. They generally end up on bad terms with him.
Some like Michael Grant lose their self-confidence. Others like Donny LaLonde realize that Teddy really ins't a very good trainer and let him go.
Povetkin will have only his second fight of 2010 tomorrow, against another low-level clubfighter: Teke Oruh, who actually retired a couple of years ago after this second consecutive loss.
Is Povetkin heading in the wrong direction with Atlas? A couple of years ago, he fought decent opponents like Donald, Byrd and Chambers. Since Atlas has been hired, Povetkin has fought Leo Nolan in 2009, and older inactive clubfighter; Javier Mora, a tomato can; and now, the passive Teke Oruh.
Should Povetkin let Teddy go before it's too late? Will he end up on bad terms with him regretting he ever hired him, the same way Briggs, Grant, LaLonde and the others did?
