I think Teddy Atlas is alright as a speaker of boxing, but his babble does run off too far on a weekly basis on ESPN... I think Teddy Atlas should stick to training / coaching fighters more so than doing his commentary work....
I suppose my top guys doing the announcing are Al Bernstein and John Scully these days....... As for a "Host," I do like Jim Lampley.... NO! Lamps is NOT a boxing expert, but more so a trained voice to carry a card / event..... I miss Gil Clancy..... However, Gil is in his late 80s and in failing health..... Alex Wallau would be nice to hear again.... Wallau overcame throat cancer in the 1980s...... The rest of the lot that is active these days just merely ramble on with rhetoric bullcrap........ Cheers......

EEragh! Lampley had Cotto's balls in his mouth on Saturday.It was just plain terrible. Plus his whine has not reached the very high decibel mark. Yes, Scully is a clam and cool customer who really knows his stuff. I have grown to like Nick Charles and Steve Farhood recently. I met them and they were extremley engaging. We talked boxing and they know thier stuff.

Teddy is just trying to get Joe Six-pack involved in boxing....and for all the boxing fans it just shows off why Teddy hasn't trained anyone recently
Use to love when he and Max would go at it.Teddy used to get genually pizzed.All in all.....I'm alright with him.His set up pieces can be painful... a blend of Billy bob Thorton in Sling blade and some dated Andre dice clay but he does make some good observations as the rounds go by.
Poor Saul though.One night I pray for him to stop and yell at Teddy for all to witness....."YOU wear the f!!!!ng silly hat for once Punchy.........I'M OUT"![]()

Well to tell you the truth th guy really bores me and i dont like his voice.
He's great for bettors. Just bet the opposite of what teddy picks and 9 times out of 10 you'll win some money.
