I do think he has a pretty heavy bias against the Klitschkos, and he seems to generally enjoy predicting upsets, and so his perpetual forecast of their doom is far from baffling. I think he largely just gets a kick out of making controversial picks, and it no doubt increases viewer interest (see all the threads which go around on here about his predictions- this sort of phenomenon wouldn't be happening if he just went with the favorite all the time).
I was big on Chagaev but really having doubts now Teddy's behind him. Tell me he didnt say Thompson/Rahman/Ibragimov would beat Wlad?
I agree, he likes the underdog, an he even says it somtimes with his perdictions,,,he is a trainer, an he just takes the view of the underdog, an what he needs to do to win, an believes he will do it... i have alot of respect for atlas, i shook his hand before, nice person...an when his perdiction do come true, he usally right as why it happened Wlad by brutial beatdown of chagaev
