    Would Nacho Beristain be a good trainer for Khan?

    IF Khan decides to leave Roach, (slight chance, I believe), would Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain be a suitable trainer for Khan?

    Nacho is known for instead of the typical mexican style of boxing, he molds fighters into a counter punching aggressor. (Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricardo Lopez, Rafael Marquez)

    Amir Khan has the heart and stamina that mexicans usually have, but not quite the chin.

    At least he has great speed and combo punching ability (although, sloppy combos).

    He is obviously lacking in defense, and I can see Nacho showing him his ways of finding the right opportunities to counter in combos, ring IQ and head movement.

      I'm not sure NB speaks English? IIRC he was subtitled on the 24/7s

              Chavez Jr nor Sr speak English and they train with Roach.

              But yes, if they can turn Khan into somewhat of a counter puncher than that would help because Khan has some long ass arms and he seriously needs to utilize that. He has amazing speed as well.

                  Nacho is probably the best trainer in boxing right now, but I prefer Steward. He'd really get on Amir's case, scream at him if he has to, and emphasize on making Khan fight behind a stick.

                      Might be a great combination, but Khan wouldn't be number one with Nacho either.

                          Richardson! Has good skills with defence, not his problem most of his popular fighters are old.

                              I don't think so considering the language barrier. I'd rather see khan with someone like steward.

                                  No. The language barrier would be tough to overcome. Steward would be the way to go.

                                  Plus, training in Mexico wouldn't be in line with Khans dreams of being a huge star in the US.

                                      doubt he'll train with nacho. A good fit would be Steward. Have him use his length like Klitschko.
