    Funny, as how Floyd has dominated everyone that Kenny accused him of avoiding...sans the guy who is afraid to test for whatever reason.

      He owned Floyd in every interview they ever did together. I give him and R.A. da rugged man props for making Floyd sound like the lil b*tch he is.

        Brian Kenny leaving is not good for ESPN.

        However, if Teddy Atlas ever left, it would result in a big improvement in their ratings.

          Kenny always tried to sneak boxing comments in there whenever he could. I respect him for that.

            i agree with both statements


            i will say that atlas' broadcast are full of information that the casual fan will benefit from

            they will learn from atlas

            even if they cant stand listening to him

              ESPN is like a hydra, it doesn't matter they will plug some guy in and tell him to get to know boxing.

              Calling actual fights is hard but they aren't losing Tessitore are they~ being in the studio just requires proper amounts of homework which other guys didn't do because it was Kenny's thing. It is even easier if they have a real expert in studio, preferably one that can talk like John Scully.

                  ESPN is ESPN and will never change. How many quality sports personalities got started there~

                  Someone will want to shine and take his place it is that simple, he isn't close irreplaceable.

                    ESPN is like McDonalds, you dont have Michelin star chefs making your food, you just have workers.

                    ESPN doesn't cover 1 sport extensively, they cover all of them so-so.

                    Same with ESPN, 90% of the TV personalities just know the basics of every sport but are clueless about the specifics/technical aspect/historical info of that sport.

                    Just sit here, put your makeup on, read from the prompter and try to sound smart.

                    Out of everyone on FNF, I really liked Brian Kenny. He is the man and always ask the PROPER questions that the fans want to hear, not questions that have been answered 1000times before or Politically correct questions.

                    Is it true about Teddy? Wouldn't surprise me, Teddy has a long history of abusing ESPN staff and was even suspended for getting into a fight with a ESPN employee. I also heard from a grip guy who does the camera work that Teddy is a POS to all the employees and acts like he is god and they are his ******.

                    Its no suprise that Fat Dan has never appeared in person with Teddy Atlas or even mentioned him in his yearly BBQ parody thing that he does for July 4th. He knows Teddy is a psycho.

                    BK was a real man, unlike Joe Tessatore who just sucks up to Teddy all night long agreeing with him to the point where it sounds pathetic "oh gee you sure are right teddy"

                    Teddy : I have fight 199-80 cuz u know you gotta break windows
                    Joe T: Oh MEE TOO TEDDY OMG!

                    I would like to see Teddy Atlas and Joe T replaced by either the Duke or even Andre Ward/Tarver, hell even Fat Dan can do a few shows.
