Comments Thread For: Khan Plans To Spend More Time With Hunter, Fix Mistakes

[Weebler I]

Khan has no power what so ever so no one hesitates countering his combinations. If he doesn't learn the definition of defense, he will be required by the age of 28.

Besides Judah, every boxer in the 140 tourney will put this dude on his azz.

Yeah, after he throws a combo he needs to learn to gtfo the way. Still, I hope he gets the Peterson rematch, their last bout was very exciting.

he keeps saying the same old sheet over and over again before every fight. you are gonna see a new khan this that. working on this that. freddy showed me this ad that. virgil has show me this and that. He said all this before peterson, garcia and now diaz. it's the same old story............

Well I wouldn't exactly say I'm p*ssed about what he says before/ after every fight... I think more than anything it's a kind of psychological tool he uses on himself, pressure himself to increase awareness, get himself riled up ("if I lose this I'm done bla bla..."). Gotta admit he did show some improvement in the psychological department though. He let himself get ****** into some unnecessary exchanges that resulted in knockdowns in the Garcia fight where he might have otherwise been able to just stay on his bike and get himself back together. He did seem more aware not to make this mistake again, and I thought he kept himself under control better after the knockdown by Diaz, not trying to slug it out. That being said, Khan just remains dangerously susceptible to left hooks. That's a major weakness of his, as evidenced vs Garcia/ Molina/ Diaz. And I have yet to see the difference in "positioning" Virgil Hunter is talking about... Khan has the speed and foundation to control the pace of a fight much better than is the case at the moment. But hey, the dude makes for exciting fights... they should make Khan vs Ortiz next at WW, hahaha... I'd pay for that

Much props to Khan, he is really trying to absorb that style. You could see him slowing down and trying to take his time and think his way through the fight.

I have never really liked the guy, but I am starting to like him now.

He just doesn't have the coordination or the reflexes to make a style like that work for him.

He has always been a fighter that relied on his natural athleticism to win. He has speed, and he use to have decent pop, but getting away from that, you can see just how average his boxing skills are.

Khan needs the help of Nacho Berstein, the only trainer that is going to take him to the next level.

Khan will need to have Ronnie Colemans neck now... his elite one didn't help so now he needs super elite roid plus.

Waste of space.

Khan is who he is and no trainer in the world is going to change him.
When he gets hit, his reaction is to immediately hit back and fight his way out of it, and unfortunately for him his chin doesn't hold.

Hunter is a great trainer, but he won't be able to fix Khan's flaws. He'd be better going back to Roach.

No disrespect to Hunter - he's a proven excellent trainer but Kahn should go back to Wild Card and train with Eric Brown. All eyes would be upon him and he just might learn his lesson there.

If Kahn gets beat again and decides not to retire, do you guys think they will start using him as a stepping stone for up and comers? or will they keep giving him chances to get his title? since he has a relatively large following
