Comments Thread For: Hunter: I Was Totally Against Khan Taking 'Crazy' Canelo Fight

[jonnyc420]

1. Virgil told Khan he didn't like the fight and Khan told him he was gonna fight Canelo and he wanted Virgil as his trainer. So Virgil was supposed to say no to his fighter? Abandon his fighter?

2. He stated before the fight he did not like the fight.

If he was so against it then yes, otherwise keep your mouth shut and accept your paycheck.

Thats all good and fine but still yapping after the fight. Wtf for? Does that change anything for anyone?? Nope, so move on. Just knows Canelo has a fight coming up so again Hunter just wanting to hear himself talk on a big platform cuz we all know his biggest prize fighter cant draw half of what Canelo does.

That's all well and good, but why was he then talking the fight up during the build up saying he knows how Khan can win and Khan has a "very great chance" in his own words and "i don't put too much on weight and size".

Don't act like Hunter is being all noble standing by his fighter no matter what. He might have stated at one point at the start he didn't like the fight but once it was happening he was talking it up, talking up Khan's chances and collecting his money.

So because he wasn't happy with the fight he shouldn't get paid for his work?

How did you geniuses come to that conclusion?

Being "totally against it" and then actually taking part in it makes you a hypocrite. He had a choice to remain involved.

Do I blame him? No, but I don't want to hear him on a soapbox after the fact.
