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.
    Again. Yes this.

      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.
      Yes, again this. Virgil knows Andre is to smart to fight dozens of times. Virgil is cashing out.

        No, he does not. Do your homework. He actually said that he wanted to re-establish the old Berto. Working on speed and being explosive and throwing that Mayweather-wannabe style he tried to do with Guerrero out of the window.

        The thing with Berto is that he rarely listens anymore. Even Morgan struggled with him later in his career and he was with him for years. Hunter can't fix a broken fighter and Berto sought Hunter, not the other way around.

              Virgil Hunter should consider logging off for good. He's a worthless bum of a trainer and his best fighter is an inactive part time Pastor.

                  Hunter needs to work on that shi.t in the gym... if his fighter don't follow his instruction it means something's wrong in training camp

                    I like Virge, I think he gives good instructions in between rounds. You can't expect him to change fighters styles within a couple of fights.

                      I think Pedro Diaz or ****m would be a great choice for Khan. Khan is what he is and you cant turn him into some kind of defensive wizard. Diaz and ****m are great fight tacticians and could formulate a good game plan than maximizes what khan does best.
