    His thinking goes out the window when he gets hurt.
    .
    It also goes out of the window if he has to fight more than 5 rounds.

    Exceptional talent, shocking trainers.

    Brendan Ingle could've made him a REAL fighter.

        I expected better after all that talk, but tbf to Virgil it takes time. Some fighters show immediate improvement, others take longer. But I feel like Amir should've looked better versus his last two opponents, just based on level of opposition.

        Virgil seems like a legit trainer, but I'm not overly fond of him in recent times...he just comes across as a guy that makes excuses in defense of his fighters.

        When his fighter got stopped by Matthysse, he insinuated there was PED use involved. When someone brought up Amir's chin he pointed at Manny Pacquiao and said, "at least Amir gets up." Lol, it's kinda comical. And his quotes regarding a potential Floyd fight with Amir do not inspire confidence in Khan, whatsoever.

        As long as they have chemistry, I'm sure they'll make it work...I'm just not sure they have that chemistry with one another.

            I'd say he has regressed. He's ill suited for the style Hunter is teaching him

              Agreed. I'm no knocking Hunter's skills as a trainer but he just seems like the worst match ever for Khan.

                yep

                Khan is a brawler at heart, and it's strongly apart of his nature. He wants to improve his defense by boxing, but he's bad at it causing him to be worse off.

                  Exactly. Khan was the epitome of the saying the best defense is a good offense. He looks like he's thinking too hard in there now.

                    and people with pea brains shouldn't think too much anyways, it's a bad combination all around.

                      The only improvement any one can do for Khan is his matchmaking. Which wouldn't be an improvement, more like a downgrade. Downgrade his opponents power, give him light punchers and then he'll show "improvement".

                      There's nothing Hunter can do and contrary to what people believe about Roach, all he did was urge matchmakers to get him light punchers like Kotelnik, McCloskey, Malingaggi and just one big puncher that almost ended in disaster with Maidana. Roach didn't make Khan better under him.
