    No.

    I noticed exactly what I described, above, which is completely different.

    It's not a very hard thing to fix, if you're willing to put in a lot of time for the muscle-memory. - But you have to be aware of it to fix it.

    He considred him and Nazim, but didn't go to Floyd from haering others boxers (hinting Oscar) say that he was lazy and inconsistent as shitt with showing up at the boxing gym (that doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to me).

    Some trainers are only good with fighters they've known for a while. Probably why him and Ward work so well. Same with with JR/SR they know how to get each other motivated and understand each others thinking

    He gets his props from Andre Ward. Ward is just a super talent. I could train Ward and he would remain awesome.

    Silly me, what was I thinking?

    Trainers have no bearing on a fighter's technique. Its all genetic!




    Sometimes I just don't know where my brain goes ....... :nut

    I don't think the consensus was ever that Virgil was anything special.

    There are bad trainers but for the most part they are pretty solid as a group. What's overrated is the expectations that are put on them.

    His punch resistance is weakening it seems. He went down pretty easy from that left hook. After that he was fighting like he was in survival mode, terrified of getting hit with it again. And when it did land agaon, he would wobble. I dont think hes recovered from the punishment he took from Garcia. No trainer can fix that. Hunter is doing a damn good job at keeping Khan positive tho. Thats the best thing you can do but Khan will need another soft touch before he goes near any type of puncher.

    I think Khan was much better fighter with Roach. Seems as if Khan has gone down hill since he has been training with Hunter...............
