Wladimir Klitschko’s choice to replace the late Emanuel Steward definitely was unconventional.

Wlad's really settled into his style over the yrs
it shouldn't really matter who trains him at this point
all he needed was someone he's comfortable with
he knows Banks so it should be a good match for him
just wonder if he'll egg Wlad on to step it up in dull spots like Manny did
