Virgil Hunter is a Lemon

[Roy Jones Jnr]

At the end of the day, a trainer can only do so much.

Roach is a world class trainer.

Hunter is a world class trainer.

No matter which trainer he has, there's nothing magical they can do to totally change Khan's style.

They can make small differences but that's all, it's on Khan.

[wazaa.]

I disagree. He should stick with Virgil.

If Virgil can't help him, no other trainer can't.

Give him time.

Flurrying will always put him in the position to get caught with something he doesn't see coming. Khan is the kind of fighter that needs to pick his shots intelligently. I think he utilizes his speed in a counter-productive way.

Khan's handspeed is what kept Diaz off him in the beginning... when Khan got caught was when he started throwing less punches.

Khan's offense is his defense. As a result, he will always get caught. If he has a more responsible offense, it would lower the chances of him getting wobbled.

What Khan needs to learn is to transition to defense better after he is on offense.

He made it to the final bell.

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

Khan didn't fight Molina's or Diaz's when he was with Roach.

Hunter was talking crap on Roach which is pretty funny, both trainers gave good advice but it's so easy to use trainers as a scapegoat. Khan is just prone to go full ******.

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Not At All...but his success might be a little misleading because Andre Ward is just that good

at the same time, if you switch trainers and your still struggling...THE PROBLEM IS YOU THE FIGHTER! Can't keep blaming Trainers!

What I don't understand is, how can a guy with his hand-speed be so easy to time and read? His style is a puzzle that any respectable fighter can solve. Weather his storm of flurries, attack his body, and look for the left hook or overhand right.

You're 100% right with that last point. I hope that Hunter doesn't get discouraged or lax with Khan, cuz he still has a lot to improve on.

He really is a horrible trainer.

Virgil style doesn't fit well with Khan at all.

I actually think Freddie Roach is much better fit for Khan. At least Khan was more lively and throwing some crazy speed combos when he was with Roach. Khan just got careless at times with Roach, his conditioning looks crappy in this fight too.

Khan burned bridges though with Roach and Ariza I doubt they will work with him again unless they get paid well.

Khan is who he is. It's too late to make any big changes in him.

[QuebecSTAR2]

I can't believe they call him "KING" Khan.
What so KING about him!?
