    Is Virgil Hunter a bad hand wrapper?

    First Andre Ward messes up his left hand against Froch and then last night Amir Khan fractures BOTH of his hands. Is this just coincidence or is it something that perhaps needs to be looked into and corrected?

      Maybe but it's something they need to take more caution with in the future, bad hands can **** with him mentally, Mayweather also suffers from hand injuries like this after fights and they take time to feel 100% again.

        Wow thats good to know. That looks bad on both hunter and Khan. Khan that he isnt taking care to ensure he has someone skilled do it and hunter that he is letting his guys at this level do their own and has had two guys with hand problems now.

        You got a bad hand wrap with a fracture injury, very very possible khan would have came out with NO injuries if he had someone good wrap his hands. Hes risking shortening his career over something so simple.

          Considering he did wrap khans hands, yes he is a terrible hand wrapper

            No is just that Molina's gameplan was to break Khan's hands with hes face, how did the judges miss that he won every round with hes face.

              Mayweather has had problems for years, but his cut man does it and that guy is literally 80 yrs old and one of the best cutman in the business so I bet he is excellent at hand wraps. With Khan you have a young guy who I dont remember having hand issues before but now busts them after doing his own wraps, I think this could have been prevented which is what is sad because this could contribute to him having more serious hand problems down the road.

              This is like the NFL letting some guy jump into the game using a helmet he bought at a garage sale. It just doesnt make sense at this level.

                  Khan's an idiot if he's wrapping his own hands. Calzaghe had the same problem he wouldn't let anyone near his hands for years which eventually permanently damaged his hands.

                    Pacquiao wraps his own hands too.
