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.
Teddy is an idiot. Sure he may know a lot about boxing, but when I look into his offset wonky eyes and hear his voice go from anger to stoner within seconds I simply shake my head and hit the FF on my remote. He has to have some extensive brain damage, right? He is defiantly not a normal human being with normal emotions. He goes insane with rage and over reacts to the most minute things. If he is married I am sure he beats his wife on a regular basis. Teddy, you are a meathead!!!
I don't know what to say to that, sir. I've always hated and despised Larry Merchant but there is no way he could ever keep me from watching a fight.
I've thought about it plenty of times but I usually just turned the volume down low. When fight night rolls around I gotta see that fight if possible.

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.
