Thanx, I needed that..lol!...Wlad, Haye, Usyk Lennox etc., have given Wilder his props. Two of em' even sparred with him and sang his praises.... I'm not an Atlas fan. I'm basically just happy for him and his time with Cus in the Catskills under his tutelage - thats really the only reason I ever care to hear him out. But to me, he's too emotional and psychologically jumbled in his training methods - I can only see a train wreck if he ends up "training" Ruiz or any other heavyweight at this stage of his "know it all" tenure.
Plus, he's gonna have spittle flying all over Ruizs face when he shouts his wierd motivational advice in between rounds..lol...Something in the realm of, "youre losin' the fight kid!..do you wanna break your mothers heart?!..youre letting her down..she's on the phone!,..I'm gonna let you talk to her....hey, (whoevers he's calling out to) bring me the phone!"....Thats just silly and embecilic to me - they know who their mothers are and how "disinterested" they'd be about the fight..lol....it did NOT help his fighters when he used the strategy (funny, I was talking to Mark Breland about that years ago and he agreed with me and said in a joking way, "who's paying for that call?")....
Tyson CHEATED TWICE, so he sure as hell saw something in Wilder he NEEDED to cheat for....Wilder aint THAT bad like all the Teddy Atlases out there would have people believe.....Btw, talk to Lennox, Wlad, Hearns etc., about Emmanual Steward and how impressed they are/were about his mind skill development to psych out opponents......And Cus D'Amato! Those guys to me are trainer extraordinaires (as well as a few others)!! they had a grasp on practical/basics on what it takes to be a champ and knew how to employ it like a "dad".....Not like all the Teddy Atlas bickering and losing his temper when disagreed with.....even to the point of him losing his gig.....I'm pretty sure he's not as bad as I think.....but I'll pass, then I'll pass again....
