I like Atlas. Yeah, he talks ****, but he says what he believes and you're free to agree or disagree. He doesn't bull**** and he doesn't sugarcoat things. The moment that really made me an Atlas fan was during an interview he did with Tony Ayala. Atlas had said that Ayala was a vicious, psycho freak who shouldn't be in boxing basically. After Ayala had won a fight Atlas was interviewing him and keeping it professional, and towards the end of the interview Ayala looked at him and said "Are you gonna take back those things you said about me?". Atlas turned fully towards him, looked him dead in the eye and said 'No.' Period. Just stared at him and waited, like.. what are you gonna do about it Tony? It was a great moment and real as it gets.
Atlas is a little crazy. He's pretty out there with his opinions. He knows boxing pretty well though.
