Did Atlas pick Wlad to get stopped again or is he waiting to pick Haye on FNF tonight? Some other sports media types are also picking Haye to win big. Not the least of whom are the PTI hosts Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbun. In all fairness those two gargoyles have been hating on the brothers for years. It seems to me that the U.S. sports media types that are picking Haye are doing so out of bitterness and a partyline agenda against the Klitschko's that existed for years.
I'm really worried that Atlas is going to pick Haye. He always picks against Klitschko. Haye has enough to overcome without the Atlas curse!
I believe that Atlas has picked Haye to win.. I dont have any evidence, but i have heard people saying that Atlas picked Haye
Very astute observation. Not to mention the american media is biased towards black athletes, often times giving them undue praise simply because they can compete. I'm a huge fan of the NEW and IMPROVED Mike Vick, but I thought he was garbage during his ATL days. The american media was calling him the second coming when he was a rookie. Same goes for McNabb, and even that bum Young in TN. Of course Dirk is probably the 5th best player in the NBA right now, and is far ahead of Magic in terms of ability, but the analysts act as if he can't even hold Bird's jockstrap.
Atlas always picks against Wlad, to lose by TKO/KO. With Vitaly it is a different story. Since picking him to get stopped by Peter he simply says what Vitaly's opponent has to do inorder to win but he never actually says Vitaly will lose. Atlas is truly a vile, bitter creature!
Atlas dosent need to pick anymore. There is good money to be made backing the loss for who ever Atlas picks.
Here's the clip from last week, he didn't exactly pick Haye, he said Wlad is the huge favorite and should be, he merely pointed out its possible for Haye. However, I don't trust Atlas at all with his HW predictions because I'm sure he'd love for Haye to win so his fighter could get back in the mix, remember Atlas pulled Povetkin out of the fight with Wlad because he knew he wasn't ready for it, I'm sure he'd love haye to accidentally win. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6703093&categoryid=2491554
This is unfortunately true. I do not want to hijack my own thread but I remember last NFL season. Most of the media was giving Vick the MVP after 10 games. Then in the NBA Dirk was labeled a soft Euro and Lebron and his crew were going to run all over him. People are people and whoever works the hardest/smartest usually wins. The Klitschko's are hardworking, intelligent athletes that donate a great deal of their time and money to charitable organizations. Yet the media has this crusade against them.:-(
