he didnt really slam him he just said he doesnt have him higher than some of the great old timers he said he has him over Floyd he just says he needs to beat a special fighter something a lot of people are calling for
He said his resume doesn't merrit him being top 25, says the ODLH, Cotto, Tony wins aren't as strong as other guys who would be top 25. He said that he would pick PBF to beat Manny based on his ability to defend and counter Manny coming in wild and leaving himself open. Nothing that many people don't say regularly to be honest.
i dont see how thats slamming either! people forget how exclusive top 25 all time p4p is. they get carried away. Pac is BY NO MEANS a sure fire top 25 all time great
exactly and as far as the title goes its not slamming him I think it was Bert Sugar's top 100 book that had Archie Moore at like 20 is Manny really ahead of Moor if your gonna make him top 20
Funny b/c they had friday night fights once in Monroe, LA where I now live. I met Teddy and after the fights I got a picture with him and got an autograph. I was shocked when he asked all about me, if I was done college, etc, etc. He's def a nice genuine guy in person. I asked him at the time how his training was going with Povetkin and he told me Povetkin def wasn't ready for Klitschko. Can't blame him to want to protect his fighter for the time being, but that's a lot of money to turn down lol. But it shows you, he doesn't care about money, he cares about his fighter's health. But yeah it does seem that Teddy hates on both K brothers and Pacquaio as well....
and atlas is right since the 1800's when pro boxing took off we have seen guys with 200 even 300 fights with 120 KO's Guys like Wilde and Robinson and Moore and Greb and Armstrong and Serdan and Pep and Duran with well over 100 wins
here's the video from teddy on that, brilliant analysis. skip bayless a *******, BTW [url]http://search.espn.go.com/teddy-atlas/[/url]
exactly. teddy atlas chats a LOT of ****. a LOT of ****. but in this case i dont see how what he is saying is so radical?
LMAO at skip bayless being in a boxing convo! and he didnt say hes not top 25. he said not top 20! which is right. he is not one of the top 20 fighters of all time
