    Good little article. Enjoyed it. Khan is selfish in the sense that he always puts the blame on his trainer.

    Just my opinion mate, he seems to move trainers every time he loses.

    Cheers mate, he does tend to blame the old trainer while the new one is always all knowing.

    I believe he can. People forget that he's only 25 years old- a year younger than Kell Brook, another UK fighter who's only just now stepping up to Khan's level of competition. Not to mention the sheer physical talent, grit and heart that he has shown over the years. Some of you are writing Khan off way too soon I think.

    I'm not Writing him off, think Virgil could possibly work very well with him.

    Me neither mate, but it wouldn't surprise me if he 'dumps' Hunter if/when he loses.

    There is only so much a trainer can do.

    I think Khan has the physical tools to become a winner like Wladimir did.

    I don't think he's intelligent enough to do so.

    Kell is unbeaten though and no known blueprint exists to beat him.

    Yeah I think you could be spot on, hunter has spoken about how physically he has no problems but mentally taking in what he is teaching him is a different matter and will take time.

    I think that Khan is his own problem, but he can bounce back! I think that he beats Danny in a rematch too.

    Where does he go if he loses his next fight? Who would want to train a guy that you know will blame you in public for the loss?
