    Be interesting to see him work with Virgil, He's great with Ward but it would be nice to see him working with someone different.

    What are you basing this hunch off, IC? Has Khan or anyone mentioned him?

    Virgil Hunter is a good trainer and I'd be interested to see what he thinks about prospect of training Khan. But you have to wonder whether the two would be a decent pairing. Would Khan be able to take on board his style of training/fighting? Which other fighters has Hunter handled?

    plenty on here were suggesting that. Is it really a good match up?

    Andre Ward's trainer. Very intelligent individual, very commanding of a fighter in the corner and gives clear instructions. The whole atmosphere of Ward and him will make him a better person as well as a better boxer.

    Perfect fit, imo.

    oh the albino looking fella, i remember on fight camp where after the fight he goes up to froch to show his respects and rachels grimacing at him. i really don't know if the change is going to help amir, i think the only change is going to come from himself once he begins to understand that he cant fight with a chip over his shoulder.

    omg how could I have overlooked him

    great trainer, commands authority and respect, what khan desperately needs. Very well rounded, teaches his fighters all the ****, in-fighting, fighting at range, great defensive maneuvres, neutralising opponent..and havin andre ward , a humble person around khan, will do him wonders

    if khan fails under this, he shoud just retire... everything will have been tried and he will have failed

    i'v seen some of his interviews and he comes off as a nice guy, khan needs a trainer thats going to go boot camp on him. roach has harsh as it sounds was too frail to instill it in him, but as i'v said i don't know a great deal about him.
