I don't think so. Amir looked better than he has in a while, especially early on the fight before being made to dance from jabs. After 4 rounds he was losing speed and the snap from his punches were wearing off. Kell looked like a tiger playing with his food by then.
Point being, the trainer can't miraculously make a fighter great. At the top level it becomes a game of inches and microseconds, and all a trainer can really help a fighter with is strategy, tactics, mentality, conditioning, etc. Khan looked ready, fast, slippery and focused, it just wasn't enough.
