Virgil Hunter speaks on training Amir Khan, and why he felt Cotto lost to Trout

I can see the logic to what Hunter is saying about Cotto's training. As the fight progressed, I knew about the second round that Cotto didn't look the same as he normally does. No jab, no movement really at all on his feet, swinging very wide and off balance to get on the inside. Then his conditioning didn't seem to be where it had been in previous fights, he looked somewhat flabby for a pro boxer and he was tired in under 6 rounds.

that might tire him out a little, no?

Angel Garcia may have called it right that Khan's run at the top is over. I can see him doing well against the lower level opponents in a build up to getting a championship fight but at top level against the likes of Bradley,Garcia and few other guys I just see him coming up short.
He will make money but as Angel Garcia said he may well be a manufactured champion and not a real one. Khan is a good fighter but not an elite one and don't see him becoming one.

Originally posted by Dr Rumack View PostVirgil's going to try introduce a 'safety first' dimension to Khan's fighting. That's going to take a lot of work. Khan's instinct is to throw shots, he's an offensive fighter and overwhelming people with lightening combinations is what he does best. Is it possible to blend that with the style exemplified by a guy like Ward?
