    Amir Khan and Roach Reunites, Khan dropping Virgil?



    This is a recent vid from the YTBC channel in Shady Slim. Khan and Freddy is talking to each other in the Wild Card gym and Khan is in the ring with gloves.

    Is he dropping Virgil Hunter and going back with Roach?

    Damn he is training with a David Haye impersonator as well.

    He is taking it to the next level.

      Old folk legend that changing trainers strengthens your chin. Hope it works for him

        Probably.

        It's always the trainers fault.

          Roach was always the best fit for a fighter with speed and movement like Khan/ Virgil is too much of a defensive coach who has made Khan over complicate and do one move over and over again - the outstretched arm defence while moving clockwise lol

          Khan needs to drop him. Plus the wildcard is a far superior boxing environment.

            A bit of defensive responsibility wouldn't hurt Khan, but I don't think anyone teach him that at his point. I'm sure Virgil did his best but Khan just isn't wired to be smart. His weaknesses and his strengths are too intertwined for anyone to truly remake him.

              Yeah all these trainer changes and weight changes are just rebrands on Khans part.

              A way of separating himself from the guy who was KO'd before. Cotto does a similar thing after losses. Good way to con the public into thinking you might still be a relevant fighter

                  That's a great point. I didn't think of it that way but it makes sense.
