It was unprofessional IMO
he can be subjective at times, but imo he's nowhere near the level the hbo crew is on. he's honest when it comes to commentating most of the fights he covers. imo he never really sugarcoats anything. also, you can tell he genuinely cares about this sport, that's something you have to respect. i met him in july of last year for fonfara/johnson. he is a cool guy in my book, really easy to talk to.

I always thought he was fantastic. But, as with anyone cool, internet people seem to hate him. With so many of the other crews being... eh... we'll call them "effemenite"... Teddy is one of the few real men left in commentary.

My favorite commentators would have to be:
1. Teddy
2.Roy Jones
3.Paulie (He's surprisingly good)
And Max is good also

Remember, you asked the question. No, I don't like Atlas. He talks way to much. In fact he never stops talking. During a 3 minute round of boxing he will talk 3 minutes never stopping to take a breath. He is very critical of the boxers and often questions their courage. He had a very short career as an amateur boxer so I don't think he should be so critical of fighters who have done so much. No matter how good the guys in the ring are doing Atlas always finds something wrong with the way they are fighting. I have never been impressed with his boxing knowledge.

I'd like to see him train some good, young American fighters. He has a lot of knowledge and can pass on the finer details of the Cus D'Amato style so that they don't get lost.
