WTF are you people talking about how has Atlas ruined Povetkin?

I forgot about Boytsov, but that's not hard considering how often he fights. Two fights a year but be acceptable for an established fighter, but Boytsov is still a prospect who's yet to fight a meaningful opponent. He's got youth and talent on his size, but if he doesn't step it up soon he's going to be surpassed by lesser talented but more game fighters like Helenius.
I never thought much of Povetkin beforehand, but under Atlas he's been totally ruined and struggles to even beat C level lardarses from the back of beyond. He's also getting on in age yet seems to be treated as if he's a green prospect fresh out of the ams. Povetkin has squandered whatever talent he might once have had in the vain quest of maintaining a meaningless 0 that'd fall to anyone above B level. I'd pick Arreola to beat him, and I really don't think much of him either.Comment

Yep, shouldve took the Wlad/Vitali fight. This way he wouldve had a punchers chance and the mandatory rematch wouldve made him set for life off the $$$ he wouldve made. This way he wont make anywhere close to the amount of $$$ he couldve gotten fighting the brothers. Theres a reason Teddy Atlas is at a diffirent Indian Reservation every week on ESPN2 (Soon to be bumped to ESPN18). Should get a real Coach instead of a faker like Teddy who just bad mouths sucesfull people while never amounting to anything himself besides talking crap about how bad everyone but Young Black Americans are.
He's such a hypocrite that he even training him since he only lusts after Young Black dudes and has webcams in the changing rooms so he gets his freak on like that.
Probably cries him self to sleep every night when he thinks about what Naco,Steward, Roach have amounted to and hes on the Najavo Reservation with 200 people.Comment

There's weak comp and then there's the absolutely horrid bottom of the barrel crap that he's actually been fighting (and not looking good) against. Povetkin's comp seems to get worse every fight. I'd honestly never even heard of his last two opponents before he fought them, and I only knew Mora vaguely as the guy that got blown out by Ibragimov in one. Waiting until he's ready to step up? At the moment it's become a question not of when he's going to step up, but when he's going to stop stepping down. And don't forget this is a guy that won an Olympic gold medal and once beat Eddie Chambers and Chris Byrd. If you think this guy's going to amount to anything now, well, I'd say you're a far more optimistic man than I.Comment
