Teddy Atlas vs Bernard Hopkins on Friday Night Fights

[Doctor_Tenma]

Maybe Pascal doesn't know the basics, but Teddy was talking about this generation of fighters in general. If you look at his analysis of fighters and such, you realize Teddy doesn't give any fighters from this generation their props.

He's one of the "Dey were better back then" folks and it drives me nuts.

Maybe, maybe not when it pertains to the bold. The Pascal win was good no doubt and Hopkins did face adversity, but a spectacular win would be against someone like Ward or Froch even.

[Doctor_Tenma]

had he said all that **** BEFORE the fight and actually picked Hopkins to win then i would have no issue with his condescending statements


but no...KNOWING ALL of Pascals deficiencies prior to the fight, he picked him to KO Bernard..



What you saw was Atlas speaking the truth


What i saw is Atlas choking on the crow that he has to eat and him hating every bit of it

Not really and I myself had Hopkins clearly beating Pascal in their first match, but I wasn't so comfortable picking Hopkins the 2nd time around because of his age. See me, I don't know what Atlas' reasons were for picking Pascal but it should already be established that he isn't so accurate with his predictions.

Just saying he's right in picking out some of the major weaknesses Pascal has.

Teddy Atlas was only a amateur fighter and lost most of his fight so what does he know???

[Roy Hobbs]

nice backhanded compliments by teddy atlas. If teddy hates boxers today so much he should just stop covering boxing.

[SirTomJones]

I think what he meant was the talent level was higher and guys in the golden age new all of bhops tricks.

Which is true in my eyes.

That is why the likes of Calzaghe and Taylor were competitive and Pascal and Pavlik were not.

[William Blake]

Teddy never admits when he makes a mistake. This tells me that his ego is huge and he's intolerant of dissenting views.

Where's the email concerning Pacquiao and a failed drug test there Teddy? Maybe you need to borrow Oscar's twitter and do the same.

[ИATAS]

Which is true in my eyes.

That is why the likes of Calzaghe and Taylor were competitive and Pascal and Pavlik were not.

yeah because calzaghe had such great fundamentals.

There was a time I used to like Teddy these days he yaps too ****in much, blah blah blah
shut the *** up and give the man his credit Bhop deserves it. Sometimes his stubborness takes the fun out of FNF shows. He is a certified Pacquiao hater, I remember he was talking about Abraham winning the Super Six, always on Floyd's nuts.

[DiegoFuego]

Atlas is a moron, but let's be real about it. Pascal is nothing special, and he fought Hopkins close twice, hurt him several times and even put him down. Hopkins deserved to win both fights, but he wouldn't be light heavyweight champion if Pascal wasn't the one he had to take the belt from.
