    Pick opponents better?

    Khan should have beat Pederson and Garcia

    Pederson fight was a joke and who cares about the IBF now anyway...

    Khan still had the chance to beat Garcia to unify 140... But his ego took over him

    After this terrible year for him another man has rose at 140 anyway...

    Hopefully some good can come out of this. A lot of it is down to Khan, though.

    Right, so Khan leaves Roach becasue he doesn't want to play second fiddle to Pacquiao/Chavez, only to join Hunter to play second fiddle to Ward?

    Roach has more fighters than those two, Manny consumes most of it though.

    Virgil Hunter is 1000x better than Floyd Sr.

    F*ck defence... It's too late in Khan' career for that... it's simply not in his style...

    And he can't defend himself with power


    The only real thing I believe a trainer can instill in him is ringcraft and intelligence in order to avoid shots and getting stuck on the ropes against strong guys

    (patience, movement and keeping his m*therf*cking range while throwing safe combo's instead of throwing uppercut's off jabs)

    ...That's his defence.

    Time to get that brain in gear

    Virgil Hunter is going to give him the marine treatment. LOL he talks like one of those old marine sergeants.

    A LOT of what happens depends on Khan and how he serious he takes training and sticking to a gameplan. Hopefully we get more entertaining fights from him, win or lose.
