I really like him, seen quite a few interviews on YouTube from that esnews and he comes across very well
Virgil has alot of quality in his gym.
I've trained under two different guys who used to go to Kings Gym and both speak highly of Virgil.
There are many very good trainers out there they just never get the recognition as they never get that one special guy to make them famous. Fortunately, Andre Ward is that guy for Hunter.
I think he's a lazy fucker. Can't even be bothered to get in the ring between rounds.
Truthfully, I don't care that much for him. I can't argue with all the good things said about him.Quote:

Most of the time I'm perfect, but I have been told occasionally that I can be a prick.
I think he's overrated as a trainer tbh.. He's been real vocal lately talking alot of nonsense on Fighthype ..
The way he comes off reminds me of Nazim Richardson whose another trainer that's not all that he's cracked up to be.. Ya remember when Richardson tried to sound all philosophical and shit, talking about dragons and shit.. lol
It cracks me up when Floyd Sr clowns on Richardson by mimicking that towel flicking thing haha..
Hunter is overrated... He's not even on Goosen's level.. Garcia is better than him too.
Hunter is better than Garcia
Agreed never understood why he did not get in the ring. Was he too big? Did he not have the appropriate license?Quote:

What on earth has not going in the ring got to do with lazy.? He operates better that way.
Nazim does like to be all floating in the stars with the clouds and flying carpets talk but he has had a stroke ffs.
Its a miracle he can still train.
Hunter is the wright trainer for Ward, totally the wrong trainer for Khan, Khan is pure speed
not your typical Vigil fighter, old school trainer I have not been impressed with Khan, since
he's been with Hunter.
I feel Khan is a really excellent boxer, he is let down by his chin nobody ever outboxes Khan
but in his last fight he looked dreadful, very un Khan like Hunter is not the trainer for Khan.
Who is then?Quote:

Another trainer change?
How much change has khan had over the years? He has always had his speed but his punch resistance is the same.
Hunter is like a poor man's floyd sr.. I say this because he made a career out of one fighter in andre ward.. he was fortunate to have trained an exceptional talent but with a guy like ward, he would have been good under any trainer..
Khan has regressed under hunter imo.. he hasnt changed anything..same with angulo..
He needs to take notes from nacho beristain.
Khan is looking for something he can't find the ability to take a good shot on the chin, but I feelQuote:

Virgil is all wrong for Khan, Hughie Fury maybe as Tyson says he's the best trainer out there,:rolleyes
Khan could have cricked his neck turning to hear Virgil's instructions.Quote:

Its early days yet bando, give virgil a chance.
I must admit i actually dont think virgil has any faith in khan anyway. Virgil is a big mayweather fan and always seems a bit nervous of khan in his body language.
Ok i see that, does he do this with ward as well?Quote:

True but it will prove to be a bad pairing. Khan doesn't listen to him at all. Khan picked a defensive trainer but still goes into attack mode. He hasn't learnt anything about defence with Hunter. He was devastating when he was attacking, which he did plenty of with Roach.Quote:

He makes the journey to England and then could not be bothered to go the extra yard. Disgraceful, khan should have deducted his pay.Quote:
