Teddy Atlas

[beenKOed]

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. 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.

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.
