Does Teddy Atlas Deserve Credit When Bradley Beat Pacquiao

These chicks bout 11, 12 weight divisions apart brother. Maybe we can co headline them at best. Jinkee vs Jin & Monica vs Luis Ortiz's wife.
While I don't think Bradley wins this fight, I definitely think he's in many ways been unlucky in his career with with his public perception & rep & if he does win he's gonna get that W hijacked by most media people & fans who'll suggest its all Atlas. This cat isn't gonna be appreciated til he's retired for sure.
And while I think there could be some basis in logic in giving Atlas his just due (since Bradley has taken 2 L's, one unofficially of course) I also think the Rios win is being highly overrated as an Atlas produced outcome when Rios wasn't on Bradley's level ever & its possible Manny just isn't the Manny of old come fight night vs a high level opponent like Bradley. So if Manny comes into Apr. 9 with a broken kickstand for a leg like Sergio Martinez did vs Miguel Cotto or something along those lines I think there would be much less reason to suggest anything Atlas did helped the cause, but the spin will be Atlas won Bradley the fight.Comment

Bradley admitted that after he hurt his leg, he knew that if he went the distance in survival mode and didn't score a KO, he'd lose so he went for the KO instead.
I thought he was whooping Pac up in the first few but his mobility was shot. Under Atlas with renewed confidence and motivation, I think he will fair VERY WELL this time around. Just like JMM got better against Pac in each bout, I see the same thing happening here.Comment
