    Atlas is great to hear from but I feel he doesn't offer so much to his fighters. That said I enjoyed his instructions to Gvozdyk during the Stevenson fight. The knock on the front enter through the side sent the Pimp to pre-school.

    The late Emmanuel Steward would have been the way to go for Joshua. 2nd greatest trainer of all time as far as I'm concerned...with Angelo Dundee at number 1. I think Steward could have fine-tuned Joshua's jab and made him even more effective than Klitschko was. Wlad continued to be a too gunshy after the Corrie Sanders fight and although you knew he had the ability to do great things with the left hook if he was so inclined...you pretty much knew he was throwin a jab and lookin for the big right. Even with the suspect whiskers Joshua aint really gunshy. It's very unfortunate that Steward wasn't able to repeat history and become Joshua's trainer at the end of Wlad's run much like he did with Wlad and Lewis. I think he would have turned Joshua into something formidable. Unfortunately without the leadership and expertise of a trainer of Steward's calibre...Joshua just don't have it upstairs.

    Good old Angelo "smelling salt's" "tear the glove" Dundee. He was a chump and Ali ignored him as much as he could.

    I think that is a very good idea. Then I would know for certain which way to bet.

    Teddy’s true genius is in his ability to make fighters not want to come back to the corner. He reminds me of a stray dog that bites, very effective.

    Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    It would still be hilarious, though. :lol:
