His refusal to acknowledge anything happening in the ring past repeating his preflight comments all fight was brutal. Felt terrible for the guys working with him. "Big right hand, teddy, I think he's hurt"...."ITS ABOUT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LMFAO! Like I said, I can see your frustration with him, but I enjoy his coverage, especially the pre-fight analysis.

That one minute was good. If that's all he did he would only suck at training and life.

I'm literally laughing out loud!!!!

I enjoy listening to Atlas, enjoyed his biography too

Atlas is just unwatchable, poor fellow. Don't mistake, I'm not referring to his ugly scar, it's not an aesthetic issue...

The man looks just like the usual, petulant fortunate son who bothered the wrong guys... And you can bet that he always does his very best to try to talk like an old, slurring Italian guy from Brooklyn or Benson-Hurst... Clearly a narcissistic poser.

I don't know about his actual boxing knowledge (the guy's probably OK from that perspective), but, as ignorant as I can be, I never thought he could make it to the IBHoF...

To be honest, I never thought that the IBHoF was undisputed truth. As far as I'm concerned, he might just have the "right" political connections, I don't know... Good for him.

Trained some world champs, added the term “real estate” to boxing lexicon, can be insightful, can be infuriating. I’d say he’s accomplished, and knowledgeable - but also loud, a poor communicator, and a self publicist. He cares about justice and has concerns about poor decisions - but also wants to be the person to scream into the judge’s face, while the camera is recording.

Absolute legend. If Atlas doesn’t deserve an induction then I don’t know who does.
