Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas on Crawford-Khan: It's Not Good For Boxing or ESPN

[CocoonOfHorror]

He has a point. I don’t remember the last time a big boxing match was a combination of a good fight that lived up to the hype along with an ending that didn’t put people off. Matchmakers need to be careful from here on out.....fights like last night have a way of alienating the casuals and even putting off the fans

Among big time PPV level fights - Wilder-Fury in the last six months but other than that I guess Joshua-Klitschko which was two years ago?

Nobody cares what the Loma loving shill says anymore.

Putting on such a card on ppv is bad for boxing

I'm feeling bad, because I laugh at our English cousins for filling stadiums on cold nights. This PPV thingy is a fat man's dream. $75 is less than gas, parking, tickets, and refreshments, but the fights still need to improve.

I don't think Khan quit. He was still in there before the punch. It wasn't like he was on his last legs. He's been in worse condition against Maidana. People criticise but no one knows what he felt or what damage that punch did. He also came out for the press conference after the fight which most fighters duck.

The truth is Crawford took an easy fight against a big name (who had been retired for 2 years and hadn't beaten a top-level fighter for years). It backfired on him. He should be fighting at a higher level than that.

Kinda funny... also kinda crazy how atlas forgot more about boxing than you pretend to know

Hey! Is this Timothy Bradley? Stop trolling and work on your grammar!

PS: I know more about Teddy then he does!

1) location location location
2) fight tall
3) walking in a bad neighborhood
4) take out some air in those tires
5) pressure busts pipes

What is Atlas talking about? Guy is an idiot.

Lol Atlas has forgotten more about boxing history, ring IQ, training and coaching champions than you will in any of these categories in your entire lifetime
