    Teddy Atlas on Wlad

    This article is on the homepage and it is interesting to hear that Teddy thinks Wlad doesn't have the drive, is weak in the heart and the head.

    This is my main beef with Wlad, I would love to be a fan of his, but Teddy nailed it on the head about what I feel about Wlad. He just doen't have the desire to dominate. There can be no doubt that this man has all the physical tools, expect maybe not the greatest chin in the world but its not as bad as people say, he just doesn't have the inner intangibles.

    This isn't surprising Teddy feels the same way about European fighters as I feel about Roy Jones Jr.

      Well done CITS. TOS will prove Atlas' hypothesis that Wlad has no future in the state of boxing. He has his doctorate, might as well use it before he gets permanently damaged in the ring if he continues to box.

          Wlad has already accomplished as much as Byrd did, which shows that he does have heart. Byrd does have heart, and so does Wlad.

            Well I'm predicting a TOS victory but mainly because of the unexpected things have happened in boxing this year. All signs point to that Wlad should win, but for some odd reason I smell upset.

              That's why the odds are the way they are; the bookies know something is amiss too.

                He hates the European fighting style. Did you see how he downplayed Povetkin the whole Olympics? In case you don't know who Povetkin is, he won the gold medal at super heavyweight. Plus I have a tape of Wlad v. Jackson and him and Kellerman are basically downplaying Wlad the whole fight. Jackson goes onto land 0 punches in the whole first round, and Wlad KO's him in the 2nd round. Then Kellerman goes on and on about how this is boxing corruption at its worst and Altas basically agreed with him.

                  Byrd has nothing to do with the topic, but if your referring to why I'm not a fan of Wlad, its because I think that Wlad has little or no heart. Besides accomplishments aren't based on how much heart you have.

                  You were right about one thing though, Byrd does have heart.

                    "I will no longer speak of decietful or hateful things of anybody."

                    Well that was shortlived. How does Wlad have no heart?
