Comments Thread For: Huck: Teddy Atlas, He Ran Away To Avoid Embarrassment

[The Hammer]

Can anyone tell me why the phuck Huck is labelled as the world's #3 heavyweight in the world according to Boxrec?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

It's probably just a glitch in the system which they'll fix later today.

Huck WHO?? Just what we needed, another David Haye. Oh well...

Alexander Povetkin will be a better, more confident fighter without the unstable Teddy in his corner.

Michael Grant at age 40 is fighting better than he did when he was working with Teddy in his prime.

Michael Grant fighting better? He ****** before and he sucks now, only the opponents have gotten worse.

As for Povetkin, Atlas was the only person who knows anything about boxing that Povetkin has ever worked with.

Now he's surrounded by a bunch of greedy drunks, not sure he will fare any better with some vodka breath amateur in his face in the corner.

And before you respond that his current trainer is some kind of Russian legend.... well if Russian trainers were worth half a **** Povetkin would have never gone with Atlas in the first place.

I was going to mention this, but certain members here are very touchy about the current era of heavyweight boxing, so I figured I'd spare their feelings.

Alexander Povetkin had arguably the best amateur record of all time at super heavyweight, including Olympic Gold and at least ten other gold medals in international tournaments.

Teddy Atlas has a terrible track record as a trainer. In world title fights, he has only one win and many losses.

Teddy has left every single fighter he's ever worked with on bad terms. Sometimes he quit (Briggs, Grant, etc) sometimes he was fired (LaLonde, Tyson, etc).

Listen to George Foreman's comments about Teddy not warming Grant up before this fight:



Lampley and Steward talk about how Teddy had been verbally abusive to Michael Grant before the fight, and even had him crying.

What the **** is wrong with you with posting such racist shit, that should be a ban reason for that paragraph alone.

It maybe hard to realize for your narrow racist mind but it's actually possible a Russian trainer can be equal to, or even better than an American trainer, especially if the American trainer is Teddy Atlas.

He didn' t say anything racist, he stereotyped. A bit tacky, but certainly not ban worthy.

[Dan Gutierrez]

Huck is a very smart guy, he realized what was going on and he knows what kind of a p[erson Teddy Atlas is. Teddy Atlas is just a good pretender.

"Vodka breath" Russian is certainly borderline racism. Like associating all Irishmen with potatoes or all Italians with the mob.

Isn't racial stereotyping a form of racism?
