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

[Shadoww702]

Hunter can say that "he" was forced into it, but he can't say "Amir" was forced into it. Amir was the main one who wanted the fight! He didn't get concessions from Canelo, but he wouldn't give any concessions to Brook either, so what's fair is fair!

??? Fighting at 155 helped Khan a lot more then if the fight was at full 160 like Brook had to do.

He took his cut though with no problem. Hunter needs to be thanking Canelo I am sure he got good money from 2 of his fighters taking a beating from Canelo. Overhyped coach with a big mouth

Most definitely! If Khan had a chin, he would probably be better off @ 154 at this point in his career!

Thats why I didn't understand the no concessions comment?? If Canelo really wanted to be a dic he could of told Khan 160. But he didnt. 155 is 1 lb about SWW and 5 below MW.

You think GGG of of done that for Brook??? And everyone says how small GGG is and how Canelo is some 180-190 lb LHW???

But still happily took his cut of the money and talked about how Khan can beat Canelo leading up to the fight.

Yeah right Virgil, but you still took Khan's $$$ right bro?

But i see you were not against cashing your check for it

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?

Hunter makes it sound like up until the knockout where he says Khan lost concentration and got knocked out that it was all Khan.Lets be real here we should say the concentration loss was Khan just standing in front of Canelo with his hands down like a lemon.

Canelo was actually ahead at the time of the knockout and there was no way back for Khan he lost the previous round badly and got cut and was looking terrible in the last round where he was knocked cold .Hunter saw this and was desperately shouting at him louding trying to give him confidence that he could not find elsewhere.

Khan said he wouldn't fight Brook as he needed a warm up fight .It's not often you hear the truth from Virgil but even he says he doesn't know how Khan will react to the knockout for this alone and for his own welfare Khan should not be allowed in there.His own greed and delusion is going to get him hurt and his silly fans who know little about boxing will still be there in Pakistan on twitter blindly cheering him on and filling in polls.

So abandon his fighter and let someone new get him prepared to fight the most dangerous fight of his career? You think Virgil could've slept well at night if something terrible happened to Khan in that fight? Virgil knew that was a dangerous fight and he knew going into the fight he'd done all he could do and whatever happens, happens. Virgil said he tried to talk Khan out of the fight and Khan wouldn't back down and insisted Virgil train him. Virgil is on video saying this before the fight.

Everyone knew he shouldn't take the fight if Amir and his family said yes we are doing it with or without you and he warned him then his job was getting him in best shape and plan possible

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

The only two in this thread talking common sense

Why would anyone even discuss the first rounds of the fight like canelo was trying to outpoint khan??? Canelo was trying to setup a ko and thats exactly what he did, the reason khan droped his hands is the body punching canelo invested, just look carefully at khans ribs before he went down, the guy was taking serious punishment... work the body and the head will eventually fall...

He could have taken a stand against "his" fighter and washed his hands not like Khan is a stranger to finding new trainers or is he known for his loyalty. What does commenting after the fact accomplish? Just Hunter wanting to hear himself talk on a big platform. Simple as that.

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.
