    Povetkin doesnt understand english and Teddy speaking so fast the translator cant keep up.

    Povetkin is a very good ring general, he fought the perfect tactical fight, despite being on his own.

    He's a good motivator though.

    Atlas is horrible.

    Yeah, so intelligent that he was getting tagged with one and the same shot time after time a whole night- the left hook. Intelligent boxer would need no more than 2 rounds to adapt and block it.

    No IMO Povetkin is not intelligent. If he is, he knows what´s to do.

    Wlad knows it, he is an intelligent man and stays to Emanuel Steward, a trainer who is the right one.

    Povetkin makes what other people says, and in his deep Povetkin is no profeesional boxer, maybe he does not want it.

    But first a boxer has to understand the trainer. Atlas has to learn Russian or Povetkin English. With translation it does not work.

    Teddy cussed out Michael Moorer a few times when he beat Holyfield and became Eddie Futch level all of the sudden. Nobody in the media blamed him for Moorer getting KTFO by Foreman in a fight Moorer was dominating, and Atlas hasn't done **** since Moorer/Holyfield 1. Atlas thinks fighters should bend over backwards and kiss his ass to train them (not wanting to go to Germany for Povetkin, not training Peter after the first Wlad fight because Peter wouldn't come to New Jersey rather than Teddy go to Vegas to train Peter) when really all Teddy does is play up his "advice" for the cameras while not raising his fighters skill levels in training camp. Moorer was a better fighter at LHW under Steward than he was at HW under Teddy, why do you think Teddy shits on the Steward trained Wlad so much?

    Povetkin was a much better fighter and in much better shape before Atlas, who promiced to give him power as a swap for activity.

    Supposidly the activity could give him stamina problems vs a K bro. He needed some power to go after them.

    Now he has no stamina, no activity and still no power.

    I can't help but laugh that a bunch of ******s on ESB think they know more about boxing and athletics than Teddy Atlas.

    He doesn't like the Klitschkos and Pac.Get over it women.

    If any of you had known a thing about boxing before a year or two ago, Teddys actions would be no surprise at all. Find some of the Moorer/Foreman pre fight talk, or how he talked about Holyfield.

    He weighed in 28 pounds less for Chagaev than for his previous fight.
