Teddy Atlas

[Spicoli]

Atlas is a passionate guy for sure, absolutely no question about that. It's obvious to me he wants to move to the big time, but not enough to curb his mouth.
He knows boxing, it might take him an extra 500 words to get his point across but he makes sense if you don't tune him out, prematurely.
His analogies, scenarios, metaphors or whatever you want to call them are hard to take sometimes but I just think of all the people he is pissing off and laugh my ass off, most of the time.
Last night, he out did himself when he was talking about Algieri fighting with only one eye. Teddy wanted to say cyclops but said eyeclops instead. He corrected himself right away.
My friend was foaming at the mouth and calling Teddy a dumdass but I was laughing my ass off and loving Teddy for being Teddy.
It doesn't matter what you think about Atlas, he loves boxing and can't or won't stop pointing or yelling about boxing's faults as he sees them.

Eyeclops I missed that card except a quick flip through and Teddy talking about surviving vs boxing and that some off air fight was a judging travesty. Teddy is the crazy uncle and we all have one, or in some cases are one ourselves

Teddy is great for boxing as he won't sugar coat anything. If the big labels want commentators who nod and say things in unison then let them have it, but I find HBO in particular to be an ear sore all too often with in house cronyism. Atlas, for better or worse, wears it on his sleeve and won't appease for the sake of it. I respect him a lot for that and even forgive him his predictions. The one that pisses me off these days is Lampley who seems to think he is the man these days rather than just the exciting sounding one that holds together the other 'experts'. Now, he's always bossing his opinion, but it's usually gibberish.

I think he's a nut job, he likes putting a gun to peoples heads in my eye's, that's someone
not playing with a full deck.

Maybe so, but does he offer insight as a commentator and does he provide interest? I think he has that in abundance and he has training history too. Many have done silly things in the past and especially when young, but he is older and does a good job IMO.

Yes. The gun incident was 30 years ago and warranted against a deviant mean bastard named mike Tyson.

And Tyson himself has admitted that he was mental for many years. Yet Tyson is God and Atlas the devil for some! Wise up chumps, Atlas has been much better for boxing analysis. Tyson being clean is a relatively new product. Tyson gave nothing to boxing for decades, Atlas strode on with his analysis and ultimately it worked.
