The only guy he wouldn't pick against Klitschko is Tyson. If they ever fought Teddy would predict a double KO or a draw at the very least since he hates the both of them.
I think Teddy does it just to get a rise out of people, and as you could see by all the threads on this subject, he has done just that. If he honestly believes a half assed fighter like Thompson is going to beat Wlad, then he really does need to seek help and retire from telecasting all together.
I know, but unfortunately Thompson doesnt have what it takes to give Wlad anything to worry about, this guys really no better than Ray Austin, and we all seen what happend to him when he fought Wlad.:-(
I think Teddy is going for that million-in-one, Buster Douglas-type prediction. If Thompson wins, he looks like a genius, if he loses, people just chalk up another bad Atlas prediction and move on.
