    He doesn't care for boxing and only uses it as a vehicle to fund his substantial junk food habit.

    He's a fat piece of ****. Can't score a fight to save his life. Offers up his opinion too much when nobody holds it in high regard. And he's a fat ****.

    Teddy atlas is the greatest American boxing pundit no doubt.

    And Teddy could beat up any other boxing trainer. He is the toughest trainer that I have seen

    I'm one of the very few big Teddy Atlas fans out there too!! He's without a doubt the best boxing pundit on earth IMO and he's excellent for the casual fans, sounds and looks like a tough guy and more than that comes accross exactly how you would expect a former fighter/ trainer and boxing analyst to come across....speaks his mind, has rough edge and knows the sport, no ***** footing BS from someone that's never laced them up ala Rafael/Kellerman. he's not the best speaker but that's irrelevant, he commands respect and he's got charisma and excellent knowledge of the sport (despite being terrible at predicting for some reason). Teddy's a G

    I appreciate most of his work, but he just seems like such a loser.

    He openly holds grudges (unprofessional), and his Tweets about the Giants/Duke/Yankees, and especially WWE are incredibly lame.

    Lots of old guys are lame. His grudges are just a symptom of the crazy bubbling below the surface. Atlas is crazy which is something to be expected and admired in a boxing personalty.

    Overall, I appreciate what Rafael does do. He's accesible and seems to put some real leg-work in. He keeps up to date with the latest information and does a fair amount of writings and interviews. He might not be a master of boxing's technical side but he does get a lot of news and information out to the fans, more so than any other writer I can think of.

    On the other hand he is rude and a bit too smug for my liking. He is biased and his whole David Haye thing is childish and unproffesional. I don't really pay much attention to his scoring of fights so I can't say if he is good or bad but I do think(and could by wrong) that he scored Ruiz over Roy Jones which would have to be considered pretty bad scoring.

    wouldn't a better question be why does anyone like fat dan?

    anyone have other reasons to hate the fat ******* other than the following

    is biased
    criticises fighters for being fat
    bad scoring
    idiot in general
    thinks he knows more than he actually does
    horrible pun's
    mediocre writer
    his double chin rests on his lap when he sits down
