Virgil Hunter, the trainer for British star Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs), gets his second crack at Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (46-1-1, 32KOs).

Back in March of 2014, Hunter was in the corner of junior middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo - who took a beating from Canelo for ten rounds before the fight was waved off.

On May 7th, Hunter will be in the corner of Khan, who moves up by eight pounds to a catch-weight of 155 to challenge Canelo for the WBC middleweight title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Everyone is talking about the punching power of Canelo, but Hunter is not that impressed with Canelo's power. He feels some people are making more of Canelo's power than it actually is.

He feels Canelo has not scored a real knockout over anyone other than James Kirkland. Other fighters he felt were undersized and just worn down round after round, like Alfonso Gomez, Kermit Cintron and Josesito Lopez.

"He hasn't knocked out anyone at junior middleweight other than James Kirkland," Hunter said. "Kirkland [was not properly prepared] for that fight. He beat other guys like Angulo, who never took his training seriously - and I know because I was in his corner."

"Any boxer has the ability to knock someone out. If someone is capable of knocking out two opponents, he can knock out three. But, according to what I've seen of him, in the way in which I have analyzed him - Canelo does not take advantage of his weight advantage. Because he is not a boxer who presses, like Roberto Duran did or like Joe Frazier - who used their larger size to overwhelm opponents."

"I think that he has the strength to do it, but it is not his style. For this reason, I do not consider that his weight advantage to be factor that causes him to win his fights."
