    It's hard to change the way Khan fights. He fights like an amateur. It'll take a miracle to change his fighting style. He's too stubborn for his own good and never learns from his mistakes.

      Only criticism I have of Virgil is that he's too lazy to get into the ring to talk to his fighter between rounds.
      Khan didn't do anything different... same old khan

        Same can't be said of a Roach trained Khan.

          You can only polish a turd so much. Roach said Khan was not capable of changing and advised he stayed away from punchers. It looks like he knows what he is talking about.

            Khan is improving. The real question is how much and whether he'll ever be able to truly compete at the top level. I understand that a fighter's style is in-grained in him, but some of his flaws just seem so elementary (things that even non-boxer boxing fans understand).

              Maybe its time people start blaming Khan instead of his trainers. Was it Roach's fault he got KOd by Garcia? Was it Hunter's fault he got dropped and hurt multiple times by Diaz? Or does Khan have a poor chin and too many bad habits??

                  Khan's biggest bad habit is those 4-5 punch combinations that he likes to throw in the mid-range. He'll throw a bunch and just land one (or none) of them, that's something that Hunter HAS to address.

                    So you're confirming the theory that Khan does indeed have a new elite level neck?

                      The way he throws punches sucks though. I don't like his wild ways of throwing combinations and leaving his chin out. Sure his chin sucks, but the way throws punches sucks too. If he grew up with a good trainer like Virgil, Roger, ****m, we could have seen a different fighter.

                      Like new england said, give Khan a time machine. In other words, he's f-cked and there is no changing him.

                      Roach?
                      Hunter?

                      You want better than that? Lol who's next, Pedro Diaz, then ****m, then May Sr? Garcia bros.? With Khan, they are all going to look like they suck.
