    top trainers like atlas dont got time to site through 20 non important fights for an up and comer, that's a waste of his time you idiot.

    A hired gun like Atlas makes a man into a champion, brings him to that next level, a guy like Moorer or Povetkin , thats an accomplishment getting those guys a title

    He kept Povetkin from next level, and did nothing with Moorer, who already had title shot wrapped up, Moorer lost to and old George Foreman under Atlas.

    That next level downwards maybe. He didn't do **** for them except mentally destroy them, deliver corny speeches in between rounds and focus all the attention on himself.

    Moorer fought a perfect fight against Foreman, but then he made one very stupid mistake at the end. he got KTFO when he STOPPED following Teddy's game plan.

    That's a fact, son.

    Atlas was pleading with Moorer to circle away from the right the whole fight

    there was a round where in the corner Atlas kept saying your going the wrong way go the right way Moorer seemed to acknowledge and then went out and did it his way

    an old boxing brain like Gil Clancy was in disbelief that Michael wasnt doing something so obvious

    Yeah I forgot about that. So not a "perfect" fight, but he still was way ahead on the cards, and lost because he didn't listen to Teddy.

    he may be over dramatic but what he was saying strategy wise was all correct

    most likely Foreman does not land the series of punches if Moorer stuck to the plan

    he has to contracdict himself cause he gets his orginal pick wrong like 90% of the time. but he knows his boxing.

    he is strongly biased against EE fighters, and in general not a bright guy.

    He knows his ****, just because he's opinionated does not mean he's an idiot.
