I doubt Virgil can give him defense, I think what we can expect is for Khan to keep range and for god sake stop being off balance after throwing a simple 1-2

Don't know anything about Molina but you cant expect Khan to just rematch one of the men to beat him, that would be career suicide. It's weird, one would think that the right trainer would be able to iron out Khans game at least somewhat, have him on balance and get a sense of distance etc.. These are things that can be taught for the most part I presume, yet Khan still fights without a clue of how to use his physical tools. He is woefully innacurate for a guy with his handspeed and punching form, I'm not sure I've ever seen a fighter with the same disparity.
I can definetly understand why he would want Wards trainer in this respect, and a couple of easier opponents to work on these things is probably exactly what he would need if theres any hope of serious improvement. While it perhaps isn't fair to blame Freddie Roach for any of Khans flaws, he has never been a good defensive coach and isn't suited to train a guy who is really vulnerable imo.
