I saw on espn.com that Teddy had been asked to help train: Lennox Lewis, Sam Peter, and was basically given the keys to the Duva's heavyweight prospects but declined to all of them.
Atlas says none of them displayed the comittment to him and the training (ie training away from home, putting themselves in Atlas' hands to do whatever he wants with them). I find that hard to believe with Lennox but the others probably...he has a cushy job and there is no need to leave it for another MICHAEL GRANT or MICHAEL MOORER both of whom he trained.
With Michael Grant, Teddy got a physically tough fighter with no confidence and no chin.
With Michael Moorer, Teddy got a physically talented fighter who was an ass and as soon as he got to the top he didn't want to listen or work hard.
How do you rate him?
I think he's a decent trainer but his boasting and harsh attitude don't help his relationships with his fighters
