    teddy is at times a likable guy but man listening to him go on and on about simple **** gets on my nerves.

    if he don't like a guy thats fighting he seems to rip the dude somehow or another the entire fight without giving him any credit.

    that **** pisses me off

    Teddy isn't the problem. Look who they're putting on there. ESPN doesn't provide much money to pay the fighters they put on

    Yes. He's much too negative about certain boxers.

    I don't know betting against whoever teddy said would win had around a 90% win ratio just saying better than blackjack.

    Say what you want but I'd lay odds the Russian mob as you call them are no bigger crooks than The CSAC or Nevada Vegas especially.
    Ive had my sister in law who knows nothing about boxing say " Hey CJ how on earth can they say that guy won that fight" A woman who isn't a fan realized the fix was in

    Its been time. The guy rarely adds anything insightful to fights. And just may be the worst fight predictor of any professional pundit.

    Teddy Atlas is ****. But I don't think his leaving would affect the ratings. At all.

    :lol: So ****ing predictable McJoe.

    All you want in someone who will sing the praises of the Klitschko's & eastern Europeans fighters in general & not because you are eastern European yourself but because they are white.

    What did Teddy say to get you all upset?

    I agree. Teddy's personality reflects boxing --hip to pimps and liars, edgy, in-your-face honest, aggressive, yes, but according to rules. Passionate. And come on, that banged-up face of his wouldn't work at Wembley, but it is boxing's face all right.

    Some may not like his NY attitude, but what's the problem? He isn't polite enough? Boxing as we know it sprang out of merry old England, but the modern era came out of New York. I'm outta Boston and even I appreciate that.

    And seriously, who on the American air waves knows the sport better than him?

    It has nothing to do with race. Teddy has been harshly unfair to some boxers of all different races.

    Teddy Atlas is wrong half the damn time. I remember him saying Mayweather vs Canelo would never happen. As well as countless other predictions he have made in the pass.

    No thats not gonna happen. A lot of viewers watch FNF's to hear Teddy's expert commentary and insight on upcoming fights. Yeah that would be really cool if Teddy hosted his own boxing show like Lampley does

    Wish I could count the amount of times I've heard "It's like bugs on the windshield"...
