    Since Lalonde had no inkling that Atlas was so pissed, you have to wonder if Atlas fabricated that to sell books and such.
    Does not have much cred. Terrible trainer, the things we saw him in the ring saying and doing to his charges...
    Last trainer I'd hire--makes it about him.

      What a ****** statement. Tyson faced adversity against Ruddock just off the top of my head. And if you give me time, I can pull another handful of names out.

        I’ve always thought Atlas would be one of the first guys I’d hire for my corner. Just watching his corner speeches with Povetkin and Moorer...I know that’s the type of trainer that would fire me up to go out there.

        Just don’t fire him, because he’ll show up with a gun.

          I thought Atlas' shenanigans, such as vs Foreman led to Moorer's loss. I'd want a calm guy with sage advice like Dundee or almost anyone but Atlas. You don't need the addnl stress of a screaming nut on top of you.
          Your final point is well taken. It leads me to believe I am right in that Atlas made that up--else who would hire him after that came out, unless they were told it's fake?

            I’d want him in my corner, not as my head trainer lol. If you can get him as a #2 or cutman just to give the motivational speeches without going over the top and stealing my stool haha

              OK. I can go with that: Minimum distance guarantee of 5 feet or more.

A heavyweight that age is prime. And fact is, he never beat anyone as good as Danny Williams in his so called prime. Mike was fringe world level at best.
