    What are the most cringe inducing or backward moments that occurred in a fighters corner. Teddy Atlas will never fail to make me laugh out loud, his pep-talks always seems to kill a fighters vibe! Can anyone link the video where he called some fighters estranged young son, who was crying on the phone cause his dads ass was being beat, and the fighter still lost!

    I think Teddy Atlas ruins any corner. I have a personal hatred for Atlas unlike anyone else.

    When Atlas ditched the corner of Elvir Muriqi in order to commentate, and then jumped in the ring and got in Muriqi’s face when he lost to the journeyman he was fighting.

    Not sure if it's a boxing's worst or boxing's best moment when Norman Stone got kicked out of the corner for calling the ref a ****in' jerk off under his breath.

    I hated this guy when he was visible, but totally miss him since his absence from high profile fights. You’ve gotta respect his loyalty to Ruiz.

    Norman Stone is literally peak New England culture. We are not a nice people. But we are kind and loyal.

    Norman Stone looks like a guy who hangs out at the docks in rubber boots and suspenders and smokes a pipe.

    Atlas was pretty taboo by the time Ruiz hit his peak. He briefly had Briggs and Grant and was a setback for both, especially Grant.

    There's also a Norman Stone smoking a poked out joint with black hands between brake jobs.

    Grant’s confidence was destroyed after Lewis kicked his ass and he got hurt against McCline. I’m under the impression that Atlas came in and screwed up his confidence even more, rather than restoring it.

    He pissed off Briggs and said some **** to the media like, “I’m the brain. He’s the body.”

    He entered into Povetkin’s camp and kept putting forward the idea (very publicly) that Povetkin was a work in progress. Povetkin didn’t do **** under Atlas because they weren’t taking big fights. They got rid of him and Povetkin rebounded soon after.

    There seems to be a repeated pattern of him degrading his fighters as if they’re random kids stepping into a gym, regardless of who it is.

    Broner's corner in the Pacquiao fight. Broner was losing every round and his corner was telling him he was winning every round.
