I have to spend half the time I'm watching an ESPN card making jokes about him or muting the TV.
Is Teddy Atlas the worst commentator in boxing history?

a character that has trained camp with Tyson and speaks his mind like a true old school New Yorkah over Lampley or Merchant?Comment

Lampley is biased and always trying to spin a narrative, but he at least isn't grating to the ears. He knows how to talk like someone with a triple digit IQ and he knows when to shut up. Merchant is a poet and the GOAT by far.Comment

Atlas is an attention whore drama queen.
like others have said, he may know boxing -- but he doesn't know when to shut up.
and his metaphors are ******ed
I mute him.
I cant think of anyone more annoying, so I vote yes.Comment

He had his moments. He could be entertaining though with how out there he was.
Part of the total package. I respect him pulling a gun on Tyson for messing with his niece though.Comment

Atlas cleaned Cus' gym in upstate NY and carried Tyson's spit bucket when He was a 15 year old amateur. He has parlayed a lackey subordinate association with Tyson and Cus into a whole career of overstated credentials. His histrionic shouting, constant talk of ring " real estate", and fixation on fighters' personal problems/prior jail stints have done prison is nauseating. An outside con man who has conned his way inside.Comment
