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

[Lac'em up]

What in the world makes you think Pablo Sarmiento is one of the best trainers in the world? The best trainers in the world are trainers who have trained and DEVELOPED more than one fighter. Here's a list. Please write it down so you won't get confused again.

Ignacio Berinstein
Freddie Roach
Emmanuel Steward
Romulo Quirarte
Eddie Futch
Angelo Dundee

Just to add a few to your list:
Ronnie Shields
Robert Alcazar
Teddy Atlas- although not sure he trains anyone

And Enzo Calzaghe

[Mr. Philadel]

EXCELLENT choice!!!!!

[Drunk Punch]

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.

Virgil may be a great trainer, and has obviously made an ex-olympian in andre ward a top p4p fighter. But!!! We are forgetting that amir does not listen to any trainer!! He must have been told one million times not to do what he did in garcia fight!!!

[Isaac Hunt]

Andre Ward is a very inteligent fighter with a genious ring IQ.Khan is thick with a dunce special needs ring IQ. I think Hunter has his work cut out with Khan.

[Ringlife]

Khan needs to work on his defense maybe Hunter can help him with that. That is a good replacement for Roach though. I would say he's on the right track. Khan seems to want to be around which ever fighter is having a good year. Like back when Pacman was the the man a couple of years ago now it's Ward.

Lou Duva has had a very good record with loads of champions.

George Benton carried a lot of the workload for training Lou Duva's fighters.

Freddie Roach is soooo sour.....
He might not have a chin but it shows how upset freddie is that he has to indirectly point it out...

[BetterCallSaul]

Amir Khan just needs a trainer who can instil into him a little defensive and tactical nous. He's not going to become a great fighter, but he can still improve enough to beat the Bradley's, Alexander's, and Garcia's of the world. He needs to stop leaving his guard wide open and walking onto shots. He did that for a little while then got too confident in his chin. Hopefully he can claw back some success after wasted years under the hapless Freddie Roach who couldn't spot a defence if he tripped over one.
