    The Summer Olympics are held once ever 4 years.

    Should Teddy Atlas only come around once every 4 years too?

    Atlas is a very good commentator when he's not talking about Pacquiao or K2

    He won't ever get a seat on HBO because the first thing he'd do is bite lampley's head str8 off for calling some nonsense nonexistent punches

    he'd be calling out all the BS from those HBO cheerleading commentators.

    he's way too real for HBO.

    He gets a little to animated at times but calls it like it is

    Dude cracks me up whenever he gets excited calling a good action fight because it sounds like he's being strangled almost.

    Exactly :yep atlas keeps it too real. The only Commentator with enough balls to diss the olympic system while working for them:deal
    . Then he actually knows boxing and it shows with his commentary unlike steward who knows boxing but seems oblivious sometimes

    Atlas is a good commentator that knows what he's talking about in terms of boxing strategy. That's an aspect you don't get too much. The worst thing he did today was make little croak noises in between talking. Anyone hear those? :lol: They're forgivable, talking for a couple hours wears your voice out.

    lmao. Hear him call an American fight and anyone else. He sounds so damn excited.


    Atlas' analogies are downright comical at times.

    During a fight earlier with one guy pressuring: "You have this guy who gets all over you like a cheap suit"

    Showtime should replace Tarver with him

    I'd like to see him call some better fights than on FNF
