Teddy Atlas's Opinion Of Wlad.

Well, I'd already told Sonny Liston's ghost about it, and I know how Sonny likes to blab ... so I figured everyone already knew.

Yep.

 

I agree.

I think Atlas shows the fun side to boxing-related mental health disorders.

 

Atlas knows more about boxing than anybody on here.

Povetkin had his best wins under Atlas.

Atlas made Povetking the man he is today.

 

preach my fellow Southwest man

 

I'd say of the 8 fighters you mentioned above given the choice would rather see one of the other 7 in the opposite corner than Duran.

As for the thread. If Teddy's track record is anything to go by, it looks like Vlad might go after Hopkins record for the oldest fighter in title fights then? Oh, fuk!!

 

Indeed.

So true.

He used to train the ferocious and ferrous Mike Tyson.

This tutelage was not limited to matters pugilistic. Were it not for Teddy's loving and dedicated pedagogy, Mikey might have missed the marvellous opportunity to land a crooning role in the movies when he retired.

Some even believe that the pupil has surpassed the master.

 

that was a good post :good

 

:rofl:deal

 

Agreed, what I was saying was basically that head to head I'd bet on the great fighters I'd mention against him but by no means would I count Wlad out. Wlad has too much skill, is too hard to fight and has too much power to go along with all of this to count him out against anyone though as I said certain big men I'd strongly favor against him especially because he lacks composure when hurt.

 

I got to laugh at these so -called experts. I know many guys that were top trainers, writers, fighters,judges, Ref's and some of them can be on the money at times but even a broken clock is correct 2X a day. Atlas has a lot of faith in himself but he is out there in his opinions. I do not think he is a very good trainer and has some very strong and twisted predictions. Vlad like many of the former champs has his flaws but he also has some very strong strengths.

Atlas has his opinions but everything to him is psychological and although the mind plays a big part it is only a part of the total equation.

 

Wlad will be more highly regarded the further we get from the Tyson, Holmes, Ali era. I don't enjoy watching him fight but I think he'd have a great chance against everyone. Trust me, I doze off during his fights but he's athletic, huge, & fights a safety first style that maximizes his height. Nobody has an easy time with that.

 

Atlas doesn't know when its time for him to go potty.
