    Teddy Atlas should be hung from the balls till dead.

    I like when guys don't over talk, or over analyze. Joe Tesitore gets to hysterical.



    Atlas may be gone from ESPN I think, I saw where he had his second problem with someone there. First was with atechnical worker a fewe years ago, and ESPN had to apologize. Atlas could not put spin on it, like saying he was cursing out a worker for the integrity of boxing's sake. Now he had an argument with guy who had helped him out, Doug Loughrey, ESPN boxing executive. Naturally, Atlas says it was over integrity issues.
    Maybe he wants to have excuse to leave and break contract, so he could get to the higher paying HBO job.

    Those two are good. Dunphey was great, he let you watch fight, and if he spoke, it was for something worthwhile.

    Howard Cosell. He was also great with the lead in to Monday Night Football back in the 70's to early 80's. His calls of the first Foreman-Frazier, the third Ali-Frazier - Thrilla in Manila and the Foreman-Lyle fights were classics.

    all of them have considerable traits. atlas brings a lot of energy and is good at laying out the basis for a fight, and being consistent at it. but he has no one to challenge him so it makes it boring

    bernstein is pretty good but I think he sometimes jumps the gun in many of his opinions. he also seems afraid to say what he really wants to.

    lampley is very magnetic and suits hbo. seems very bias and ******ed at some points though. sometimes comical. the good thing about lampley is that he was steward or merchant to put him in his place
