    No one knows for sure, and do you call where he is now being saved? Also Atlas kept saying for years, not a brief tie, for years, that Klitschko was very beatable. Atlas signs contract to train number one contender, then year later, says he an't fight Klitshcko? You think Teddy told anyone during negotiations how he was going to **** them over?


    Also Atlas claimed he was close to povetkin, yet as soon as he was gone from training job, he openly rooted for Huck when Povetkin fought him.

    If this guy was the future, we won't need him wearing a T-shirt with his own name on it just to recognize him :D
    On a serious note, I've seen him and to me he looks like an older, less powerful and smaller version of Wilder.

    Atlas only cares about Atlas, he didn't save Povetkin. Atlas criticizes the Klitschko's for years, then says Povetkin can beat him.....then realizes he can't so he mentally destroyed Povetkin so he could walk away and trash Povetkin and continue trashing Klitschko while somehow thinking he can keep his rep intact.

    Of course, as usual you have your own agenda here because Povetkin is with Sauerland.

    True, plus Atlas ****ed over Dave Wolf and Donny LaLonde, and about everybody he trained or worked as a trainer for.

    He was hired to get Povetkin ready for title shot, instead he did everything possible to get fighter to pull out of it, and to believe he could not win. When Teddy talked with them about working with them, he led them to believe they could fight and beat Klitschko. They fired trainer they had and hired Teddy,and got screwed.

    When Simon Borown's people got convinced to fire Pepe Correa, who had gotten Simon Brown to title, and hire Atlas, they got screwed also. By second fight under Teddy Brown could not stand him, and thought he knew nothing as a trainer. Fired his ass after 2 fights, tried to hire Pepe Correa back.
    This is the stuff Joe Tessitore and others like that fat boxing writer (Dan Rafael?) leave out of their stories. If a writer talks about it, they give the Teddy version, since he hangs out with them.

    Somebody asked earlier on in the discussion about Hanks,and you're the first one to give any info on him.All I know is that he sparred Chisora and he's unbeaten.Adam Booth said last week they were looking at 5 opponents and 4 were unbeaten,so Hanks fits the bill.Dont think well be that lucky in GB,too good of a heavyweight fight.
    Regarding Povetkin,used to think he'd be the next thing at the weight until I saw him against Huck,a very good cruiser but even at that not dominant,with Lebedev and Ola{who hopefully beats him next time}Malik Scott does look good,but the lad with time on his side is Tyson Fury.

    If that did happen theres no way the Klitshkos could avoid him.Couldnt see him turning a title shot down,either.But,Id settle for him coming here for Haye.No chance though.

    I seen Hanks fight, he's big, looks mean, but is very slow, of hand and foot. I think Povetkin can beat him.
