Is Khan better under Hunter?

[who_necks]

I think he is a lot calmer in the ring, which allows him to think about what he's doing. I think he always had the technical ability, just not the mentality to perform the skills to their fullest.

However, i think if he fought Garcia again, he'd still get iced once Garcia worked out his timing again, it only took him 3 rounds last time. I just think elite timing is his kryptonite, especially when it comes with power. It doesn't mean he hasn't improved though. I still think a good inside fighter like Peterson would give him trouble every time as well.

He has improved, but i believe he will be KO'd every so often still.

Yeah, I think its only a matter of time till khan gets stopped again.. I don't see floyd doing it, but manny, Danny 2, thurman, etc could stop him...

I think he is still wide open when he throws that quick 4 punch combo he kept landing early in Devon.. It's that straight left, right, left,right combo.. The 2nd left and right Kahn really lunges in and exposes himself to a counter down the middle or a hook.. Devon wasn't able to capitalize but eventually someone will

I think he has improved under Virgil, I also like when his trainer checks him, and tells Khan to drop that macho b.s and fight smart and get focus.

how do I put this...

Amir Khan is a purer display of his boxing gifts under the tutelage of Virgil Hunter.

He's got height, he's got fast hands, and seems to now be able to comfortably dictate range with his opponents. As a straight boxer, Hunter has shined Khan into being a real p4p threat.

Only issue is that he's still Amir Khan; he's got the heart of fighter, he's open to getting hit clean in exchanges, and his chin isn't the best.

Will basically come down to how you match him. He'll be hell on Earth for a guy like Alexander, but he'd have his own nightmares with guys like Danny Garcia, Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana. Hunter's working with him, but his instinct is his instinct.

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..

You honestly can not say the bold, Khan barely got by Julio Diaz and I don't think it's a coincidence that was the last aggressive fighter he faced, one with decent pop as well. We're all familiar with what he did against Kotelnik, Malignaggi where he boxed smart, so it's not like this is anything new. There is no telling how he'll react when he's in there against an aggressive fighter who knows how to work his way in, no telling if he's gonna be as composed as we've seen in his last two fights. Me, I doubt it.

Short answer, yes he is.

[Uklad]

Yes,deffo.

Khan under Roach was just a 3 round fighter.

I saw significant improvements in Khan's ring craft and movement under Virgil Hunter for the first time last Saturday night.

Khan is always vulnerable to a pressure fighter / puncher

The Alexander fight was very one sided, and Devon was very one dimensional.

What's next? "Is the earth sphere?"

I most definitely agree.

He sc****d by Diaz, but that was only his 2nd fight with Hunter, so benefit of the doubt.

Now it's time for Khan to take his newly acquired/improved arsenal against a hard/decent punching Orthodox fighter. I think his name is Brook, that's definitely it. I'm not gonna complain if he gets Mayweather, but that'd be a mega event, a belt, heavy pay day and say he beats him that's great prep because he is right handed, very accurate and can punch harder than Mayweather at this point.
