Is Khan better under Hunter?

part yes and part of it is good match making I wanna see khan fight a good aggressive puncher. I mean lets be honest khan was always beating boxers ever since. Collazo, alexander and a faded julio diaz aren't really aggressive heavy hitters.
I think he has been matched up very well since being with hunter. I would love to see him against a naturally aggressive guy that takes one to land one. Then well see how khan will be able to deal with that.
Having said that I do believe he is getting better with hunter and just because of the experience he is getting every fight. I think hunter does emphasize patience more than say with roach. -
He's definitely technically better under Hunter. He's really showcased his improvements in his last two fights. Far less predictable and much more difficult to catch clean. Devon has good speed, decent power, good skills and he was unable to phase Khan at all.Comment

Yea khan and Virgil is a great match up ...
Khan biggest flaw wasnt his chin it was his IQ with a less then average chin
Hunter makes khan smarter and more patienceComment

Yea. It's funny everyone said he ruined khan lol. Roachs all out style ruined khan. He still has flaws tho but he's using his abilities much more efficientlyComment

In some ways. But the thing with Khan is this, and Alexander only reinforced my opinion that: Khan's style and what he does best makes him a total nightmare for some guys and makes others a total nightmare for him. This is similar to the Judah fight under Roach. When Khan matches up right with somebody, the speed and the style he uses will make him look like the next p4p star. BUT he can almost as easily run into another Garcia now as he did then I bet. I think it's just what he is. He's a stylist with a very specific way of using one elite characteristic and a handful of really good ones.Comment

I would have said no before last night. I never saw him fight that well under Roach or Hunter. Apparently he put all his training under Hunter into one great fight. Training under Hunter has made him a better fighter. I am not saying Hunter is a better trainer than Roach only that Hunter is a better trainer for Khan than Roach or anyone else. They work well together.Comment

absolutely he is a better fighter. i hate to say it but i think roach is not at the level of some these trainers but one thing about roaches fighters is they are entertaining as **** where as hunters are mostly boringComment

Khan has just matured mentally...
He isn't green anymore like we was vs Prescott and barrera
He isn't reckless like he was vs Maidana, danny, Lamont
He is at a point where his ring IQ has matured and khan is still in his physical prime.. It's a small window in a fighters career but it's usually when they are at their peak..think floyd at 140 or roy at 168 early 175 days, etc.. That's where khan is at this point in his career..Comment

Hard to say. He does look more composed, more controlled. He fights with a purpose now, he isn't reckless anymore. However, like Sugar Adam Ali said, I don't know if that has to do entirely with Hunter or just his mental maturation and learning process as both an individual and fighter.Comment
