Atlas changes Michael Moorer's decision on the spot on FNF

[restless_438]

People here are just harsh. If the man you respected most in the sport, and the guy who was there to pick you up when you needed it, told you he didn't want to see you fight anymore, wouldn't you do the same thing?

Teddy said he wanted to see him go out the right way. Moorer wasn't set in his ways yet, he said he was THINKING about returning but he wasn't sure. Teddy just confirmed that he didn't want to see him get hurt. Why is it so wrong to heed the advice?

If he would have said he was going to continue fighting, you guys would have criticized him for that too. There's just no pleasing some people.

It's called respect for your trainer. Your trainer in boxing is supposed to be your brain and be faithful to him if he is faithful back. He knows Atlas knows his **** and isnt some 3rd rate guy just carrying a water bucket for a fighter to spit in. So it is probably best if he listened to the suggestion Atlas made.

correct

This was a set up for the viewers, Moorer was already retired.

Exactly... I guess the third retirement was the charm!

I respect Moore more if he respects Atlas to that degree to just retire after Atlas thought he should do that. But I just thought it was made for the cameras. Teddy has been saying this for a while about Moore, but I guess it really hit when Moore was a co-host on FNF. Thats my problem.

I guess they did because when he retired 4 months ago not enough people knew about. So what better place to do it, live on FNF. But he was not thinking about coming back, he was already done.
