Virgil Hunter

mayweather sr has had other world champions, but great points otherwise

 

I disagree with that but you are kinda point on.

And look at what he has been given. Khan and Angulo both lost by KO and Berto took the worst beating of his career. Damaged goods.

 

What do you mean given? It's his choice to take em on.

 

you cant just take a mature fighter from someone else and expect to change them.. it takes A **** LOAD OF TIME. and id imagine alot of chemistry

 

I thought Angulo's best fight ever was against Lara, and Virgil was training him then.

 

It's all about levels, Angulo is simply a couple of levels below Canelo. Doesn't matter who was in the corner, pretty much the same can be said about Canelo when he fought Floyd.

 

Nice post man.

Honestly what he's done to Khan is basically counterproductive for his style. He's forcing him to "slow" things down and become a more cerebral fighter inside the ring. That's not how Khan became successful in the first place; rather, it was relying on his athleticism, instincts and reflexes inside the ring that made him a champion.

That's also the reason why he looked so awful against Julio Diaz. Khan needs to fight in the same manner he did while ascending up the pro ranks- utilize his jab, footwork, combination punching, etc. He's a bit of an idiotic fighter in the sense that when he gets tagged, he gets too excited and decides to stand too long in the pocket and try to trade with his opponent. That's not a winning formula for any boxer, especially one who's known to have a suspicious chin.

I think if Khan fought in his natural manner, he'd do OK against Floyd. But the style that Virgil is trying to instil in him would actually hurt him more than help him against Mayweather.

And as far as Angulo, I like the guy, but he's nothing more than a guy who's just a slight level above a gatekeeper. He looked great against Lara because Lara fought quite possibly the worst type of fight he could against a flat-footed, forward-first type of fighter. Lara didn't utilize the entire ring like he should've and there's no excuse for that given how technically sound and gifted Lara is.

 

like who?

 

He trained DLH for quite some time. Also trained Hatton.

 

they were already champions by then, DLH was champion at 4 weights by then

 

he trained chad dawson as well as the guys other posters mentioned above

 

tell me some trainers that have trained numerous fighters that went on to become world champions

 

I didn't understand the context of how the question was given. I don't think sr. trained anyone from the amateur ranks aside from his own son.

But it's conventional for promising, upcoming fighters to change their trainers once they get to the big stage/title fights.

 

obviously you havent much boxing knowledge for whatever reason by throwing out statements like Mayweather Sr is known for some great trainer of multiple world champions when in reality he only trained JR and he didnt do that half the time. obviously you are fishing for info because you really have no idea, but to answer your question
emanuel steward has probably trained the most fighters from amateur or no no pro expierence to world champions, about 7-10 guys. but im sure you only know him as the guy who trained klitschko
