Virgil Hunter is he over extended?

He's been training Ward since he was like nine years old so he's clearly part of his success and knows boxing. Now when more boxers are familiar with Hunter they want to work with him. I don't see why Virgil would be just money grabbing. I see a man who takes his job seriously.Comment

I see a man who struck a gold mine with Andre. And is looking for more, all the while having no problem searching through crap and taking money. Virgil Hunter is a scoundrel.He's been training Ward since he was like nine years old so he's clearly part of his success and knows boxing.

He takes in "fighters" and tries to make them into "boxers". It doesnt work, you're not gonna turn a guy who loves to punch into a defensive wizardComment

Never considered Virgil a great trainer, his one claim to fame is Andre Ward, whom he has trainer for years. I think it is a big mistake for guys like Khan and Berto to hire Virgil..his training style completely nullifies what they do best..his style of training takes them out of their natural styles. Not saying he is a bad trainer, but definitely not helping alot of the fighters that have started using him. In my opinion, Mayweather Sr and Nacho are currently the best trainers in the world by far, followed by Pedro Diaz, ****m, and Roach, but Roach is on the decline.Comment

Virgil can't turn water into wine.
He wasn't going to fix Berto in one camp. It's already too late to fix him anyway. Virgil is just collecting an extra paycheck.Comment

I think Mayweather Sr. is a better trainer, personally. Floyd looked as good as he's looked in years this past fight with Sr. in his corner. And wasn't Sr. with Oscar back when he was P4P #1?
Sr. doesn't get enough credit, imo. That said, Sr. was a complete clown and embarrassment when he trained Hatton.Comment
