Teddy Atlas on Wlad

[Mikhnienko]

Nope. Wlad will be the Champion.

Good call.

This thread must be pretty embarrassing for the people who posted in it, now.

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.

I don't agree that he doesn't have the drive. He does have drive, but he doesn't take chances, because he's not confident in his chin. He knows himself better than anyone and is fighting smart for his own good. I do agree he's not very mentally tough. Doesn't have that killer instinct. He'll still go down as a damn good HW champion though.

LOL didn't realize it was old, but I think Teddy did get half of it right.

Teddy: Wlad's a bum

(So how about fight with Povetkin?)

Teddy: We're not ready yet.

BTW Epic Bump!

Wlads lost, what, six or so rounds in the 17 fights he's had since losing to Brewster in 2004?

No desire to dominate huh? Every fight is a completely shut out.

[Simurgh]

total nonsense!

I can't think of a way how Wlad can dominate MORE than what he is doing right now..
He is extremely active and he cleared the division through out in the last decade.

Teddy Atlas has never had anything good to say about the Klitschkos.
