Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Tabs Virgil Hunter To Replace Freddie Roach

[BetterCallSaul]

Unfortunately for Khan he's been badly exposed in his past two fights. No inside game and no punch resistance. That's quite a challenge for Hunter because they are things that can be fixed easily if at all.

Khan doesn't need inside game. He's not an inside fighter. He needs to learn how to keep his guard up and not get dragged into wars. He was embarrassing Garcia until he got over confident, left his guard down, and walked onto an hellacious punch.

1st,he was not embarrassing Garcia,that might be overstatement of the yr...

2end..Khan needs to be an all around fighter which Hunter will help him with..Very smart choice by Khan..Hunter is a very smart trainer..

Good move.

People seem to think Khan is done because under Roach, that is the best Khan you'll see. When in actual fact, what work Roach did with Khan was minimal. He still brought Khan along way but there are flaws so obvious that only positives can come out of this move to Hunter.

I think we're going to see some big changes in Khan under Hunter.

If Amir khan loses again, Will he ask Virgil Hunter to drop Andre Ward and make him his #1 fighter?

Hunter is a good trainer but he doesn't do miracles. His fighter Chazz Witherspoon was making a lot of defensive mistakes against Seth Mitchell. I don't think Khan is gonna change much, no matter who trains him.

Former WBC junior welterweight champion Amir Khan has asked WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward’s trainer to replace Hall-of-Famer Freddie Roach.

Khan has asked Virgil Hunter to train him from now on as he tries to regain his bearings after an embarrassing 4th round TKO loss in a WBC/WBA title fight against Danny Garcia last July 14.

Virgil Hunter is a GREAT call.


I say this because Khan is an effeminate drama queen and Virgil is all man. No drama and no media BS.

Hopefully, we'll see less PMS'ing and whining from Khan and more in-ring improvements.

Being around Andre Ward can only help his attitude and approach.

That being said, Khan wanted to be the "priority". Does Amir Khan think he is Virgil Hunter's priority?

Everybody needs an inside game.

Everybody.

Khan needs a new jaw no a trainer

Khan can't take a hit to the chin. lights out on contact for Khan. Hunter cannot fix that. Khan is delusional and thinks he is great. He's not.

Khan's an idiot. He should've hired Floyd Sr.
