    Your Virgil Hunter, Khan has started working with you a few months ago. Hes a physical speciman, Great speed, good power, good size. But he's got obvious flaws, a warrior spirit, a leaky Defense which leads to his BAD CHIN being exposed. Most of his problems are Defense, as his Offense is quite impressive.I know it was only 1 training camp,but he looked like the same fighter to me against Molina.What do you work on in the gym???

    ~ Teach him the Philly Shell?
    ~ Teach the WINKY HI GUARD???
    ~ Can you turn Khan into a defensive counter puncher?:? 0r is it too late?
    ~ Teach him to fight behind the jab??

    Can't train a chin.

    Make him fight every fight like he did Kotelnik without gassing.

    His guard is already high. He just needs to develop his neck muscles and jaw strength. He should also work on the footwork.

    I think Virgil's doing and will continue to do a great job. I have huge confidence in Amir coming back to the top, and then some. Virgil will add defence and sophisticated boxing tricks, whilst refining and tapering Amir's already extraordinary offence. I expect big things from this partnership.

    I think you make him fight as close to Mikey Garcia as you can, forget the 5 punch combo's they just leave him open, fast lead left hooks a nice jab and one two's with a bit of head movement would do him good, I don't think his power is actually that bad its just he throws combinations too much so he doesn't sit down on them as much, if he learnt to clinch when up close like Mikey have a nice duck at the waist he could be a beast, Khan stands up too straight

    Set him up with a line-up of opponents who's KO ratio is lower than Cesar Rene Cuenca.

    Work on his defense and patience. Khan is extremely fast and has knockout power. He will become a champion once again................

    Kill his family and friends in front of him and then strand him in the wilderness for like a year so he can become a man.

    Or something.
