Give Antonio Tarver a legit shot at a contender!

If Banks does not move back to Cruiser or LH, then he is effectively a trainer now. Which ain't bad, because he is an EXCEPTIONAL trainer.

Teddy Atlas was talkin' shit during the fight, saying that if Banks lost then Wlad may lose respect for him. Like Wlad is a fucking idiot and doesn't know the difference between training and fighting.

I heard that. I think he may lose respect, not for getting knocked out or losing but for the lack of desire. Im pretty sure he'd rather have seen Banks throwing the kitchen sink at Tarver trying to win than not doing a great deal.

True and Atlas had me laughing hard at Banks, but to be fair most great trainers were either mediocre fighters or weren't even fighters.

But yeah he looked like a fucking bum out there, a boring bum, if you didn't know he was a great trainer, you never watch him and be like "that guy has it figured out, I want him to teach me."
