Is Teddy Atlas the worst commentator in boxing history?

You gotta put the peanut butter with the jelly if you wanna make the sandwich!

No way. Atlas is sound. Never puts down a fighter regardless of skill. Look at his commentary during the Ward vs Augustus fight. Brilliant.

I like his little technical breakdowns he did before the fight.

But his analogies man...

He could be going on and on with some analogy and it could take him 2 rounds to finish the analogy when all he was getting at was something simple like how important the jab is.

But thats what makes Teddy, Teddy. It wouldnt be the same if he didnt do that. His analogies make sense. Once, I was Watching A FNF back, in like 2002 Or Something (I Know, because Bob Papa was still there), and there was some dude who was behind, in the last round, who needed a KO. But he wasn't really a big puncher. Teddy was Saying that he wasn't a home run hitter, so he needed to get several base hits, to get the base runners moving, to score that way, since he isnt a home run guy. Perfect baseball analogy. It was a moot point, as the guy didn't get the KO anyway, but his commentary made perfect sense. There's only 1 Teddy.

How the **** can you hate this guy.

"They walk out of that ring with less of themselves than they had when they went in, and this gets done to em? By a bunch of COWARDS at ringside that never took a punch in their life?"

[Madison Boxing]

nah, jim watt used to drive me mad. in any sport i hate turning the sound off but theres been times where ive had to with him. never used to pick up on shifts in momentum, hed watch the first round and whoever won that he would go with the narrative that they were in charge of the fight for the next 6 rounds minimum.

I love Teddy Atlas!!! I wish there were more like him

[Eff Pandas]

I don't think he's bad when he sticks to talking about the actual fight in front of him...usually anyway. The biggest thing is he goes on these rants that he just can't let go off far too often that lose the narrative of what we are watching to push whatever narrative that may or may not be of interest to anyone beyond him.

That said boxing commentators in general seem kinda sh^tty. Just tell me whats happening in the ring & stfu beyond that. That's the job. I don't need any political stances or talk of who's next or why they do or don't deserve x guy next or what crime he commited 2 months ago. Just talk about the f#cking fight.

I figured out what it is. He treats every broadcast as a demo reel to showcase his advice and passion as a trainer. He is looking for a gig. It is why he goes on mind-numbing and repetitive rants about what a guy is doing wrong every fucking round of every fight. He is pretending like he is in the corner.
