    Teddy Atlas has never denied nor made any attempt to hide his dislike for Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.

    He's usually predicted their opponents will beat them. He was quoted in The Ring magazine as saying David Haye would likely beat Wlad, and even picked Ray Austin, Tony Thompson, Sultan Ibragimov and Hasim Rahman to beat him. He picked Sam Peter to beat Vitali in 2008.

    He picked Chris Byrd to beat Wlad before the 2006 fight, and if I remember correctly it was at that time he said Wlad has "no chin, no heart and no balls"

    His ESPN commentary during the Vitali-Gomez and Wlad-Peter II fight was unfairly negative.

    Does anyone know WHY he feels this way about the Klitschkos?

    He trains Povetkin.

    Also Teddy got his grounding from Cus D'amato, they favoured Heavyweights like Patterson, Louis, and Tyson. Completely different from Brothers K in terms of style.

    Beacuse he can't train a fighter to beat them. Also, haters gotta hate.

    Vitali was the one who gave Teddy Atlas his scar.

    Because they are vastly overrated! Plus, they are only dominating because the division sucks

    Yes.

    Joe Tessitore's reaction when he picked Thompson to beat Wlad was funny. :lol:
