No that ended a couple years ago....I think even before the Wlad fight. Teddy like Povetkin and Povetkin liked Teddy but the entourage with Povetkin made that relationship untenable.


I'd really like for Teddy or Kevin Rooney to get another top fighter out there. Everyone loves that style of fighter especially at the heavyweight level. I don't think there have been many since Tyson who have had enough explosive speed and power to do well with that style.
Rooney is a good question. Can't remember much except him with Jeremy Williams early. They packaged him same seek and destroy style, all jokes aside Williams could punch, fire in the belly and fast but his achilles heel was that achilles chin. I think what gets less billing with Tyson was his reflex and speed and cannot see anyone today with the systems engrained in them. The guy could knock down chimneys but his delivery and placement were exceptional under them.
