Comments Thread For: Hunter: If I Had Khan at 9, We Wouldn't Be Talking Mayweather

[M Bison]

Khan and Hunter are a good fit based on their arrogance as for Hunter being a great trainer and Khan being a great fighter ...NO.

This time next week the only thing they will have in common is that they'll both be going separate ways !

Yeah sure they will do that after Khan puts on a boxing masterclass and schools Stonefoot Ginger minger Conelo

Whew this headline scared me--had to click on it. Thought it was a Subway Jared moment.

You can't teach a chin, unfortunately. Even Floyd catches it on the jaw sometimes. And if he had Khan's chin he woulda been knocked the fuck out by Emmanuel Augustus all those years ago. Not to mention Chop Chop, Mosley, Maidana, Zab....

You do realize Khan fought maidana lol

All the tuition in the world has no effect on his poor chin , Khan would still get iced when he got hit solid .

I've got to agree with you. But >>> I'm intrigued with this fight. What if Khan was weight drained from 135 thru 147 - maybe 155 is his correct weight all along. He is very large even for 147. I think Khan will come in at 162-164. That being the case maybe his chin can take a bit of a whack?

Will he have the same speed at 155? I hope so, if not he is screwed. Will he punch harder at 155?

Is Canelo finally going to go into a fight weight drained and sluggish?

To be fair, the one guy he has had since he started is an undefeated gold medallist and one of the best fighters in the world.

true, BUT, if you give most decent coaches the "right type of athlete, with the right dedication, with the right athleticism they can win"-that was obvious-i would also like to point out the fact that Andre Ward could have possibly been just as successful with may sr, john david jackson, or any other top level coach-maybe

I have the same opinion with all elite fighters well all elite athletes for that matter that its not so much the trainer that makes great fighters its who walks through the door that makes great trainers , can they be better with somebody else training them well how long is a piece of string .

I think the real guide to a trainer is not the great fighter that chose him to train him , but winning with the low level guys , the trainers that turn out prolific winners in the amateurs and low level pro fights .

So maybe Khan should've juiced like Floydie did. Makes sense... use the IV, strengthen the punch resistance. And I don't seem to remember anyone accusing Khan of cheating... like Floydie has for years.

Virgil knows the truth but fact remains Floyd ducked Amir Khan and Khan did better in the amateurs than him so that's 2-0 to Khan or 3-0 to Khan If you include Khan beating Maidana legitimately beating him, Floyd had to cheat to get the win in the second fight and in the first he deserved to lose.

Exactly

Lmaooo says the most overrated trainer in the game. Khan flaws were never his skills or game plan, it's his chin. Unless you have some unknown potion to cure weak chins, khan would be no better. BTW, under Roach, khan would never let chumps like algeri and Collazo hear the final bell. Would've finished both them inside the distance for sure

Could be, but then Khan could've been caught and stopped by either/both. As it was, Collazo caught him good once and had him wobbled.

I think what hunter means is if he had khan as a child, he could've surgically improved his chin before he began his pro career.

I can just see that. Hunter taking lil' Khan to the surgeons... getting padding installed in his chin/jaws area. Little kids at grade school making fun of him. Meanwhile, he wouldn't even yet know why it all happened. Hunter tells him he will be the replacement for Jay Leno eventually. Ha
