Which exciting heavyweight contender has Teddy Atlas labelled as 'overhyped'?
Watch Stanionis vs. Ortiz live on DAZN on July 8

Legendary trainer Teddy Atlas has claimed that Jared Anderson is not someone to get excited about following his performance against Charles Martin. 

Anderson beat the former IBF world heavyweight champion via unanimous decision on Saturday night in Ohio to extend his record to 15-0 as he looks to push on towards a world title shot with many tipping the American to be a future world champion. 

Atlas however is someone who does not support these lofty expectations and believes Anderson needed to knock out Martin if we wanted to make a statement to the rest of the heavyweight division. 

"How badly did they oversell Anderson as the next great Heavyweight," Atlas wrote on Twitter. 

"Remember Martin is the guy who Joshua knocked out fast and easy to win the Title. He's not great, but neither is Anderson. 

"When you over hype them, you lose all your credibility, and people won't believe you next time."
