Should have listened to him. Khan is about to get sparked out in less then 5 rounds.

Not good when Khan has to convince his own trainer that he can win.

LMAO and Hunter now acting like Can'tnelo has no power and is no good.

Hunter still sounded sketchy in interviews a few weeks ago, almost overwhelmed by the challenge at hand. Would be fair enough to have that attitude if he's an outsider but as Khan's trainer he needed to be a little more positive.

I'm sure it was related to Angulo vs Canelo where Angulo just looked like a zombie, very slow and predictable. Hunter has to take some blame for that extremely poor performance as he was training Angulo at the time.

He started to change his tune now because he remembers Khan was beating Angulo up in sparring the same way Canelo did in the fight.. lol

Virgil Hunter knows deep down that amir has no chance whatsoeverof beating canelo , he knew the same when berto fought floyd, but he has a job to do..

Khan looked pretty flat footed in a video i seen of him a couple of weeks ago.I know it's early doors but he needs to get his sh.it together in order to be competitive in this fight.Khan has all the skill in the world and is a fantastic boxer but his lack of concentration over 12 rounds is very questionable.

If he avoids standing in the pocket and maintains some movement then he has a serious chance of beating Canelo.

Hunter was forced to speak the truth in the first place (as stating the obvious), but he will take his money and let Khan live on in the limbo of his ******ness...

virgil hunter and al hymie are throwing amir khan to the dogs

Everyone cries that fighters only take fights they are certain to win but when a guy chases the best fighters going around and takes a risky fight he's likely to be KOed, they complain and call him delusional.
