Would Adam Booth be a good option for Khan?

    I like the kid but sooner or later Khan will get put on his arse again regardless of who his trainer is.

      I see Booth more as a fitness coach/motivator more than a trainer. I don't think i've ever seen him talking about or training tactics and technique.

        Booth is not a viable option.

        Khan needs a trainer like Steward who can teach him how to maximise his best attributes. I think you could definitely see some improvement after 6 months or so in Steward's gym.

        Booth has done well with both Haye & Groves but seems to have transplanted Haye's style to Groves. I don't think this is a great idea for a fighter at 168, especially one who cuts a lot, but he'll have some success.

          But Khan and Carl Froch don't get along that well so this might not work either.
          Yeah McCracken would be a good choice but as you say, Froch and Khan are civil at best. I don't see him going with a British trainer though, I think Golden Boy will want him based in the States.
