Johnathon Banks vs Wladimir Klitschko (Master vs Student) - who wins?

[FlatLine]

I don't know about anyone else but I find the situation between trainer/fighter Banks and his fighter Wladimir Klitschko to be one of the most intriguing in boxing today.

Since Emanuel Steward passed away, Banks has taken over the role as head trainer for Wladimir but he's also an active heavyweight fighter and his recent victory over once revered prospect Seth Mitchell has made him an eligible opponent to fight for the world title. Banks is scheduled to rematch Mitchell in June - if he wins that fight it's not completely out of the realms of possibility that we might see a Master vs Student fight in the future. (Master vs Student is a Kung Fu reference in case anyone is wondering)

So while Banks is training Wlad he must surely be considering his weaknesses and how he might capitalize on them. Who wins this Master vs Student bout?

Why would Banks want to quit as head trainer with all the money involved to take a 1 in 15 chance of becoming the champ?

He's not exactly an elite fighter.

^ When directly questioned about this he said that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of fighting Wladimir in the post-fight interview for the Seth Mitchell fight. He also repeated that in the half hour interview with both Wlad and Banks in the same room which is on the Klitschko youtube channel.

Is this a well thought out troll post?

How do you mean? It's a legit fight that could happen if Banks beats Mitchell again. Banks is Wladimir's trainer but the Heavyweight title is something which transcends that.

I just find it intriguing that the trainer of the HW champ could find himself in a position to fight for the title against his own student. It's a real-life Master vs Student spectacle that could happen in the near future and I'd like to see it personally.

Wlad by decision because he can't face knocking him out. Not that he'd be able to get in the ring with him anyway.

It's funny how people talk about "biased Klitschko fans" and then you see that 50% voted Banks KOs Wlad...

Shame we can't see those "objective boxing experts"..

I see nothing intriguing about this fight, I guess I just can't relate man, my fault man.

I don't care if Banks stops Mitchell again, I wouldn't want to see this fight. Banks fought most of his fights as a cruiserweight.
