so the whole "khans gonna train with Roach and Nazim" was aload of BS? Who cares who his next trainer is, Khan is Khan and and his chin will always let him down at the top level. Its simmilar to Hatton, he went to Mayweather Snr to work on his defence and what happens - he gets bruttally KOed.
Amir should try sticking to a game plan sometime, instead of getting involved in tear ups. He can't stick to a game plan to save his life! He HAS to be more disciplined at this level. And he should try taking some of the blame himself. It's not Roach & Co.'s fault all the time ya know!
It's either going to be Virgil Hunter or Pedro Diaz (trains Cotto). Hunter might just be flavour of the month atm, we don't how he'd do with someone like Khan. Diaz seems a good trainer but he only speaks Spanish . Amir has trouble following instructions as it is, don't know what he'd do if he had to work through an interpreter.
Get sick and tired of fighters leaving trainers when they lose, its always someone else's fault. Never a mistake they made or the fact they are not good enough. Easy targets the men behind the scene's, some of these fighters need to man up and realise what actually happened not just look for excuses.
It's not going to make a difference who he goes with, Khans biggest failing is that he loses his cool when he's in the ring, makes stupid mistakes and gets punished - sometimes brutally - for it, until he changes his approach mentally the same thing is going to keep happening.
The only way Khan will ever really improve his defence is if he completely changes his style. He's too dense to take subtle changes on board, and it's not as simple as working on defence and voila everything is great. Just like in football when people blame the back four for conceding goals when it's a team shape problem.
Yeah, the only way to improve him is to sit down and have an honest conversation.... and basically tell him that his defence is ****ing **** and that he has a glass jaw. Then explain a load of other flaws and then say ''but this is what we do to sort this out....'' As a fighter, he's not beyond help, but personally he might be.
I have to agree that the trainer I think could be right for Khan is ESB's own Billy Nelson. If he could get Khan to adopt the same disaplined defensive mode as Burns Khan could do well. Could be a good fit.
