Teddy Atlas

[armin]

I like atlas other than his analogies, with him youre at least getting the truth and not some network hogwash

[TitoFan]

Teddy's like the old veteran pitcher. His fastball isn't overpowering anymore, but he somehow manages to paint the corners with curveballs and sliders. Once in awhile he'll throw in a changeup to keep the opponent honest.


Or is it like the tide? He comes in... he goes out. But somehow he's always present. No, no, no... it's like the chess player. He'll cautiously parry his opponents defense until he figures out his moves. Then he'll suddenly strike at the weak spot, hoping to catch his opponent off guard.

Atlas uses a lot of other USA sports analogies particularly baseball which I do not understand

TEDDY TELLS THE TRUTH

... and it is why I said he would be a pain in the ass at a bar. I would pop him in the mouth after a few beers and he starts talkin' all tat reckless shit he does. lololol....

Teddy is America's answer to Steve Bunce...neither of whom I can stomach.

Not at all. Steve Bunce has no personal or profession experience with boxing.

Teddy has lived most of his life in boxing. He fought as an amateur and has been a trainer for decades.

To say he's Steve Bunce is retarded.

Both are excused for their rants under the guise of "passion", both claim to be straight shooters when they aren't and both tend to be irritating. They might have their differences but they have a lot of negative similarities, to not see them is blind.

Steve Bunce has zero experience in a boxing ring whereas Teddy has trained up and coming, current and former world champions for over 30 years...
To not recognize this difference shows you're a moron.

I just scrolled down this thread and there's another 5 threads about this man. Why keep talking about him? The guy's claim to fame is pointing a gun at 13 year old Tyson and having his HW champ get knocked out by a 50 year old man. The guy's a mediocre commentator also.

Surely you'd do a better job of gun wielding, training and commentating.

Nice face by the way.

Since you like to bring up how connected Atlas is in boxing, I'll name a few guys a lot better than Atlas at commentating and also well connected to the sport.

Ray Leonard, George Foreman, Paulie Malignaggi, Andre Ward, Roy Jones, Antonio Tarver. If ABC/ESPN wanted an insightful and excellent commentator, hire those guys. At least 3 of them aren't under contract. Many classes above Atlas when it comes to commentating and some of them has more knowledge on the sport than he does, who is very mediocre at what he does.

He's been doing Friday Night Fights for over 15 years. I guess his employers like him and his show must be getting good ratings... You don't have to watch him if you don't.

I don't watch him. I haven't watch Friday night fights in years.

Sir, Tarver cut his own throat. Foreman makes too much money doing other things. Leonard doesn't seem that interested. Ward is not that interested in full time work right now. Paulie and Roy are doing good work where the are.
I don't think anybody said that Teddy is the best but he has been a fighter, trainer, corner man, and around boxing for most of his life.
I like Atlas because he really doesn't care if you agree with what he says or not, he is going to say what he thinks.
