Joe Calzaghe's father/trainer firing shots in all directions. Says Froch's style is like what you'd see in a bar fight, and that he'd correct loads of his "mistakes" if he was training him...
...Calls Virgil Hunter overrated and unprofessional because he stands outside the ring giving instructions to Khan when he should be in the ring so that the fighter doesn't have to turn his head to an awkward angle just to look at him. I agree with that, I've always thought Hunter causes unnecessary confusion and discomfort in-between rounds because he stands outside the ring. In the Collazo fight I remember he was yelling at Khan to "look at me" when the cutman was trying to work on the other side of his face, so Khan had to turn away from the cutman's ideal angle just to look at Hunter. But other than that Hunter seems to be helping Khan improve, it's just his actions during the actual fight need to benefit the fighter more than himself. Simply positioning himself inside the ring, in the conventional manner, will correct that.
