Teddy Atlas

[El Kabong]

Some good posts in here.

At the end of the day i think we can all agree he's just a poor man's Steve Bunce....

...I don't think Teddy's head is soo far up one certain fighter's ass that he can't think straight. Teddy keeps things real for the most part, look at what he did with Povetkin, he didn't make excuses he just said "My guy isn't ready"....no back injury, no Setanta going bankrupt, no contract issues, no nothing other than THE TRUTH.....wish more heavyweights and their trainers (and their media mouthpieces) could handle that simple task of being honest.

I do think Teddy can get overly emotional in a corner and I could see that hurting some fighters but helping others.....the issue with Michael Moorer was that in the Holyfield fight it appeared that Teddy willed Moorer over the finish line (which he did) and that made Moorer resentful and he wanted to do his own thing ever since he got that criticism.

As a boxing fan I would certainly enjoy it if Teddy or hell even Kevin Rooney became popular trainers again, the more various styles we get to see as fans and that boxers get taught the more the history of the sport will live on through those styles so you can look at Mike Tyson and see Jose Torres or Floyd Patterson.
