Lateef was Tarver's 'equal' in the eyes of the judges. It would have been one thing had he been beaten, but he wasn't. He got the draw. I think he deserves his trinket. If Tarver was worthy, then Lateef proved just as worthy to represent. Should/will Showtime ban Tarver? This will be a HUGE embarrassment and they can take the risk of having him do commentary anymore.
I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying Showtime should ban Tarver cause he "didn't deserve" a draw?
You must be crazy if you think SHO will get rid of their lovable milkdud dude. That's their boytoy and their face.
Nah. and Nah. Belt will be vacated I'm sure but Tarver will keep the analyst job. HBO didn't ban Roy.
I'd be willing to bet a good amount of money that Kayode is juicing as well. He just didn't get caught.
Hardly the point. Under the circumstances I think he should get the belt because he was 'equal' and they will strip Tarver. Had Kayode lost then it would be a different story.
Getting to be a "zero tolerance" world. He is seen as their representative and he did this while 'on duty' so to speak as they were building him up and gushing all over him. I don't see how they can't at least shelve him for a year or two.
Yeah. Sorry, other threads about it. I'm just interested in what the org does with the trinket. Personally, I think they should award it to Lateef since he didn't 'lose' and given the circumstances.
