Povetkin's manager vs Atlas

I dont think any of us are in the position to challenge the decision made by Atlas...if he feels his fighter is not ready it is his duty to do what he did...none of us are there when he spars and trains, so if teddy pulled him out its because he has a reason...many of the people in the media said they agreed with atlas' decision.

 

Atlas is merely being real about Povetkins' chances to be competitive against Wlad, which with Povetkin as he is now, are not good, at all.

Gotta admire Teddy's realistic decision in this.

I applaud Atlas for this ballsy, and very good, decision. Povetkin would have suffered a onesided beating, and may have lost alot of valuable steem/confidence/clout/rankings, etc, in the process.

He'll get his shot when Teddy thinks he's ready.

Good for you, Teddy.

 

...........................Atlas has picked against Wlad 8 times in a row.......he hates the K O brothers so much that it clouds his judgement.....although I must say his judgement aint much better on other subjects either !!

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

He isn't respected in some boxing circles because he does have an abrasive personality and a huge chip on his shoulder. He's a street guy at heart and much of his life experience has made him the way he is...for better or worse. I'm not a Atlas apologist but I do like him and I won't apologize for that.

And yes, Moorer does consider Teddy a father figure as he's been quoted saying so.

 

He's a boxing trainer, not a bookmaker. Also, remember that Teddy says a lot of things on TV to peak the fans' interest.

 

Saul is that you? :think
