These guys who don't really know boxing yet, believe Teddy Atlas is a great trainer and was a great fighting champ. So wrong

Please ESPN FNF get rid of him, so the ratings will get better, dude is retarded.
I don't know Rain, think new fans can sort it out. Teddy takes some flack for training ways and seems it's a bit warranted but thats why we don't see him that much. I don't think it negates first hand insight fans can take from him. Fans can count themselves lucky they have options as opposed to the HBO monopoly with guys who actually know what a gym smells like rather than some suit popping off trying to tell newbies about fighters they've already watched coming up on a Espn or whatever.

On a personal note they could also improve ratings by having REGULAR start times and a FULL 'season'
