He is very snobby person off the air and has his own little clique of NYC guys. Never has any time for the fans who approach him. Thinks he is a f--king star. Also, everything he has touched seems to have gone sour except his gig on ESPN. Michael Moore, Donnie LaLonde, Povetkin, Muraqui, etc. etc He claims to have trained Tyson. Utter bullshit. Teddy is not a fan-friendly type and is just the opposite of Andre Ward or Paulie Malignaggi. :( :(

I've heard very good things about his book from my boxing trainer.

Teddy hosts charity events and seems to be a caring guy to fans, but if you have personal experience dealing with him or other sources then my perception may be wrong.

He has a terrible temper and seems to really hold a grudge.

He loves fighters though and I will always remember how proud he was to have Briggs on the air and sitting with him after Shannon destroyed Abraham Okine.

He was beaming. Loves his fighters.

I don't really care what he does on his own time or who his friends are. We aren't all the same, that's a real good thing in my opinion, so you are going to have to face the fact that a lot of us like him. Now, let this frigging thread die.
I will if you will. LOL
