Teddy Atlas is sick of Golovkins Competition: He spazes out

[13777]

GGG should exclusively fight current or former world titleholders when he's not doing mandatory defenses.

Andy Lee, Avtandil Khurtsidze, Sam Soliman, Peter Quillin,

Daniel Jacobs, Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, Anthony Mundine,

Sergio Mora, Miguel Cotto, Arthur Abraham, Bernard Hopkins,

Badou Jack, Fedor Chudinov, Andre Ward, Zac Dunn,

Lucian Bute, Saul Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout,

Zaurbek Baysangurov

[Vasyl’s dad]

I disagree


Groves, Degale, Abraham, the Dirrell Bros, and Badou Jack would be fun to see if GGG could knockout

Why didn't ward fight them? All he fought was abraham. There is plenty of fish for ward at 168, clearly. But he wants the smaller guy. Lol

It's called cleaning out the division. Playing monday morning quarterback here. He was somebody, a titleholder, til he got beat. Golovkin isn't sweating the winner of Quillin Jacobs. They ought to be the ones calling him out!
If an average IQ is 100 that means half of people are below 100. Teddy is wading in the double digits for sure.

[Outworn]

Ask him about Wilder's. See what he has to say..


I want to see Bradley-Provodnikov rematch so much because it will be very interesting with the switch of trainers..

Been in Boxing for almost 40 years and he's still calling Froch Frock? I get his point but Golovkon is not being protected anymore. That was a year or two ago. Now he's having trouble getting guys to fight him...so until someone with elite skill is willing to fight him or he moves up to fight Ward then he will continue to obliterate these fringe contenders that litter the MW division.

When was he protected??? he was never protected, STFU. No one wanted to fight him and it still remains that way.

I like Teddy as a broadcaster but he's an establishment shill. He'll get down on his knees for establishment favorites like Povetkin but disses GGG. I don't pay him any mind..

[Chuckguy]

I'd rather see him fight Quillen or Lee before he moves up to 168....he kinda has no choice because there aren't many good fighters at 160

I take my di ck rider post back this is an honestly good post
I want to se him fight Cotto Canelo winner then move up have one fight at 168 then fight Ward

[Contra]

Teddy's idea of an "A list opponent" is Quillin & Jacobs.

This is the line that made me roll my eyes and realize that Teddy is full of **** on this one. Either he's pimping the Haymon fighters or he's just being blindly pro-NYC/American. Either way, his biased opinion about Gennady means precisely d1ck. I respect Golovkin's wins over Murray and Lemieux more than I would respect him beating up Quillin or Jacobs.


Let me break it down for Teddy-

A-list opponents of the past: Sturm, Martinez
A-list opponents of the present: Cotto, Canelo
A-list opponents of the future: Andre Ward, and who else? The Dirrells, I guess. Maybe DeGale or Groves? But are they A-list, though?

The first two blatantly ducked him and weren't even that sneaky about it. They didn't want any.

The next two.. the verdict's still out. Maybe they feel their nuts and step up. Maybe they duck him like so many others. He can't force them to fight, can he?

The guys at 168, I hope they'll fight him. I know Ward won't mind, especially considering that he's a LHW now and will likely enjoy a huge weight advantage, but let's see how the other top 10 guys start acting when Genna gets up there and starts busting ***n heads just like he did at 160. Maybe they fight him, or maybe they just keep fighting each other and pretending he doesn't exist.

This is why resumes sometimes have to be viewed in the context of the circumstances that produced them.

This isn't a question you should be asking if you are a serious boxing fan.

So in other words, you don't know it's just something you said. Ok, gotcha.

[BrometheusBob.]

Why is Atlas so upset?

He speaks the truth.

Pretty honest and I agree. Only fight I wanna see at 160 is Canelo. There is literally no other fight that means a damn at 160.

So just to be sure I understand in advance, you guys would be ok with GGG fighting Jacobs or Quillin right (as Atlas suggests in video along with Ward, Froch)?
