          He probably trains all year (running etc...) and 20 weeks in camp.

          But he should be training longer to perfect his craft.

              Well the only reason he got koed by prescott and garcia was because he was recovering from ramadan so he was still weak.
              But its ok he uses xylocaine in his new v2.2 chin we shouldnt see him suffer anymore

                Should Khan be living in San Fran so that he can constantly work on technique with Virgil all the time. People figured out his flaws, he needs to spend the necessary times to fix them.

                What's your take on this - is a total of 20 weeks a year enough time in the gym for a world class fighter? Should Khan be spending double that time in the gym for the next few years, not full on fight camps but working on technique and seriously addressing the mistakes he makes?
                He doesnt seem like a hard worker. It shows in his fights hes always winded.

                  that's what i mean.. he only trains during fight time.. he doesn't do any work on his technique in-between fights, instead he chills in the UK thousands of miles away from his trainer.. thats all wrong and he's paying the price
