this one has to be removed from the list. teddy has matched his guys against bums. it's part of building a fighter.
Teddy has matched his fighters in development fights. Teddy admitted that Povetkin wasnt ready for Klitschko. And the fights were to develop some of the things they were working on in the gym. Teddy was very up front and honest about that. Teddy wasnt claiming Nicolai Firtha was a top ranked fighter. Teddy is old school about taking a lot of fights staying busy and learning. The problem we have is guys fighting 20 bums, getting a bogus ranking then getting a title shot and payday.
