Is Teddy Atlas training Alex Povetkin?

[El Kabong]

...now don't get me wrong, I think Atlas is a very smart and funny guy, but to be honest I don't think he adds ANYTHING to Povetkin. What is he going to teach him the peek-a-boo Alex is a small-ish heavyweight, he has a great amateur background, but he's lacking power, speed, and I think this is going to ruin all parties involved.


Although on the other side of the coin I think this move (if successful) might hype up Povetkin especially if he fought Wladimir because of his trainer being American and connected to another All-Time great trainer of a bygone era...that fight wouldn't be just Povetkin-Klitschko it would be Povetkin (Atlas-D'Mato) vs Klitschko (Steward-Futch).

Being a boxer, I wouldn't having uncle Teddy to train me as for his knowledges and aptitudes to teach me the proper thing for the right situation but I would damn fear that he might snap and get all crazy and dangerous at any moment.

Should concentrate on leaning up some more and dominating with that excellent jab he doesnt use enough before throwing him in with the big boys
