Is Teddy Atlas too much of a micromanager?

[ShoulderRoll]

He obviously knows boxing seeing as how he apprenticed at the feet of the legendary Cus D'Amato.

But it seems like he stops Bradley every 5 seconds in order to correct something, it would be frustrating as hell to have to deal with that in my opinion. You never get a good flow going if you have to stop and start and stop constantly.

That's a good question. Atlas has had success as a trainer, but he's also had alot of guys leave him on not so good terms. Donny Lalonde is the best example.

You need to iron out flaws from the start, if you don't they're harder to correct.
Back in the day you'd concentrate on footwork before you learned to throw or defend. It builds solid foundations.

Gone are the days where you wouldn't step foot in the ring for at least a couple months until you got fundamentals down.

As a fireman, you have to put out every last flame in every last crevice. He has to be a micromanager.

He's too much of an attention seeking bullshitter I reckon.

He gets a lot of attention, but how does his success REALLY compare to great trainers like Steward and Richardson?

[tusc1976]

What we need is more "micromanagers" or perfectionists in this sport. Too many so called professional fighters making too many mistakes with too many flaws.
Bradley is the perfect fighter for a trainer like Atlas because Bradley has the attitude of a fighter who wants to learn to be better instead of a knucklehead who thinks they know it all that doesn't like to be told what to do.
