Probably the best boxing interview I have heard in a long time. Lots of knowledge, well done Raheem
damn, Virgil an awesome trainer. very knowledgeable. his boxing acumen caught me off guard.
You really can't fault this man. Absolutely perfect trainer!
karma yup he is by far the best
brad harris Without a doubt bro... Sorry for late reply musta missed this comment.
karma its all good, yea hes def the best cerebral and tech trainer in the game now, but i gotta say hes far less active and hasnt proved anywhere near as much as virgil, but i really like what i have seen with atlas with bradley, great match,
brad harris I want to see him train Timothy Bradley... He's a smart boxer so pair him up with a genius trainer.
Great to hear an honest knowledgeable trainer
What a guy, Virgil is a class act, great coach too.
nice interview. last part especially.
What a trainer!!!!
He really is the full package.
Radio Rahim always has the educated..tough questions! Great interviewer.
Great interview
even Amir's trainer knows he would get wipped by floyd, not a good sign
Remember that moment in time when Khan was the new "guy that would beat Floyd"?
Virgil talks so smooth
Virgil Hunter, seems like a decent man. Nice interview.
most people don't understand boxing and wont get why amir would make a good fight with Floyd
dennis ragland no...... khan aint ready and will never be ready.
So I'm guessing Berto better competition or maybe Robert Guerrero was or even Vic Ortiz dude just stop. If you truly know boxing you know his skill set would pose a threat STYLES make fights.
Doesn't matter who Floyd fights the results will be the same. I think this is a tune up for one last big fight.
I agree nobody is beating Floyd but at this stage it's not about winning. its about fighting the best opponent that will make it entertaining. or at least challenge Floyd berto is NO challenge but khan is.
dennis ragland Stop lying. Glass jaw khan isn't a challenge.
Virgil Hunter really knows his stuff. Gotta respect a trainer who will give it to you straight even when it is about one of his fighters. And Virgil is spot on when he says:" some of these fighter are gonna have to go back to the drawing board". Boxing is a science and fighters and trainers who don't approach is as such will find themselves going backward before they will ever be able to move forward.
"How do you train a chin" , is this guy serious
great questions, great answers
great calm interview technique respect
very well said
Great intelligent trainer, and the best interviewer on the web.
I love when virgil talks. This man said if he dedicates himself to the spartan lifestyle of boxing it makes me wanna train!
The Fight Whisperer
Nobody beats Floyd! Plain and simple.
sean muniz I dout that!
6 years later 50-0-0 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Great interview, Virgil is bang on about Khan. Now one year later Khan has come on a hell of a lot. Prescott and Garcia were the old Khan, Khan will beat up Devon and hopefully fight Mayweather and I think he will take his 0. I also think 147 is the best division we have seen for a long time, great fighters and characters it's keeping me watching. X
That was a vast judges were paid devon smashed khan
jayzee HAHAHAHAHAHA you troll.
HolmesyRS whats a troll??
Reading your comment... Your brain is bad
I think khans chin has improved. His resilience and heart have improved as well
question is will Khan listen and develop with Virgil??
power is knowledge -virgil hunter
Great guy. Speaks the truth
what maes you think that
These 2 clearly don't get along, yet they do an interview together about twice a week. lol
The questioners abit cheeky, "How do you train a chin? I mean you gotta be concerned about him standing up against hard right hands?"
I always take something from Virgil Hunter and Nazim Richardson. 2 Great Boxing Minds.
You'd think Khan would keep Virgil in the loop about whats happening instead of him finding out at the last minute.
Virgil look crazy af
Agree with Virgil about Khans recuperative powers. He was together when they stopped the fight with Garcia.
This is arguably the best trainer in boxing IMO!
Great interview. Good answers by hunter... Not the case during the "reality vs perception" interview. In that interview, hunter was just annoying. Hunter makes a good point when he says that fast twitched muscles are different than thinking quick.
I like this dude Hunter. He is honest.
Notice how Virgil is constantly scanning his surroundings while doing the interview.
Virgil Hunter will be in the HALL OF FAME.....NO DOUBT ABOUT IT....GREAT TRAINER..
This guy is so smart.
Thank god this man just said the most important thing run drills. Fighter don't run drills anymore I can tell FM runs drills consistently and I have said this over and over to people. Pro fighters especially Mexican fighter don't do this I think they turn Pro and forget to do the basic things. The first thing any fighter or person off the street does when he joins a boxing gym is run drills just because you become champ or professional doesn't mean you stop the basic's. This makes FM great to me
Virgil Hunter, is one of the most intelligent if not the most intelligent!.
I respect this man
He has a chin that has been rocked, but you GOT TO ADMIT Amir has HEART
Virgil is real as they come
virgil hunter mastermind
Wow , Hunter deserves much more credit as a trainer
Misleasing title..
Exactly! Always said Khan's style is the Best for Mayweather to be an exciting fight and a Great Payday..PEACE. Philly Pa #Team Swift!
Floyd's said that Khan needs to 'earn' the chance to fight him, so I would be *very* surprised if the rumours that Khan is going to fight Floyd in May end up being accurate.
Truth
You just never know. Even Frank Bruno won a world championship when we all thought he would lose. Or a Lloyd Honeyghan
Amir should dedicate himself 11o% to boxing
it was a left hook from prescott that dropped him too!
Much respect to Virgil Hunter.Now as for Khan vs Mayweather,Khan just moved up to welterweight and fought Julio "The Kidd" Diaz (40-9-1) at a get your feet wet 142lbs.Khan got dropped in the middle of the 4th round with two left hooks.Which says Khan is still susceptible to the left hook.Last time I checked the left hook was one of Mayweather's best punches!Not to mention Mayweather is a lot faster than Julio Diaz.So if Khan does land the MoneyMay fight,look for the left hook to close the show.
That's what they said about Ricky Hatton... go figure.
One thing i have always felt is that if floyd is to lose, it will be to the most unexpected foe, least of all a true threat or puncher....
Sounds like Amir isn't really listening to Virgil's advice.
reminds me of manny steward
so ur saying floyds gunna ricky hatton khan?
hello
His chin isn't really the problem, he took huge shots from maidana and Peterson and stayed on his feet... His problem is what he does after he gets knocked down...
If he had a good chin he would not get knocked down or hurt in the first place.
BKLYNKING Not true at all, he has a way better chin than what y'all give him credit for, he just fights reckless and get's caught, plenty of fighters with praised chins got knocked out at some point. A good chin doesn't mean you don't get hurt or dropped, it means you don't get put to sleep.
not only that but he can Be Severly Irresponsibly Defensively...
everybody can take his punches that doesn't matter. Its that he hits them so many times and makes people miss so many times ,scorecard wins for him all day.
I don't think we've seen the best of Khan and believe under Virgil Hunter he could go far but I'm a little worried when he says if Khan dedicates himself, if Khan makes boxing the priority in his life because is he eluding that Khan is not doing all of these things right now?
It'll probably be entertaining while it lasts, but just on principle it really should not be happening. Bradley deserves it more than anyone right now. Even excluding TR fighters, Danny Garcia is *far* more deserving. Hell, I'd say Adrien Broner is in a better position for it than Khan is (even though, unlike a lot of people, I really don't want to see Broner vs. Mayweather because I don't think there's much to merit it and I also think it'd be pretty boring).
The awakening would be the smelling salts
Why would he say that about his own fighter? lol
Ward vs mayweather who wins
He don't want that work....
How do you train a chin? lol
lololololololllll.......ahhhhh
Continued: Trainer.
Also I like Broner but I don't think he runs drills on his foot work enough he could be great but he needs to become a pure boxer and step away from the puncher fighter. He will always have power and yes that make for excitement to some fans but if Broner becomes a pure boxer he will be amazing
Khan might give Mayweather a tough fight for as long as the fight would last but i think khan would get stopped in the later rounds.. khan's speed, length, jab, and aggressiveness could give Mayweather some problems
Just shoulder roll khan. Best way to protect that chin
Awakening? Kahn would be getting put to sleep!!!!!
Hints of Khan and Virgil's relationship seem a little sour?
Do not think hes punch drunk but no doubt he wants the dough who would not.
all about the cheese.
lol i know either he's brutally honest or him and khan don't have the best relationship
I would pay to Wach khan v mayweather it be a good fight
I always said that Amir Khan's style is probably the best for Mayweather, He is quick, moves in and out and has the reach. I would watch that fight any day, although I am a Philly Boy and want to see Floyd give Danny a shot at the Mother load!
i think the chin question was very credible, amir would be out cold, khan will never have the application to the sport that may weather has until someone out rains may weather then they won't beat him, ever
Fair enough Amir Khan has not got the best chin but he never gives up, against Garcia the ref could have let the fight carry on....also the only real downfall I see in Amir Khan is his stamina in the later rounds....Amir Khan should just focus on Alexander as he is a tough opponent...RT hate him or love him you got to watch him....true fighter #King#Khan
Khan just threw away 2 million dollars to wait on Floyd
LOL
Khan needs to stick to a game plan, go for a points decision.in and out boxing. Punches in bunches. No power shots just point winning shots. Huge underdog, but that would be a sweet victory.
devon alexander is fighting zab judah and khan gona wait to fight floyd next
And no defense.
1:50
Lol
Khan should have stayed at 140 and try to get a garcia rematch or try to fight another 140 title holder. Going up to 147 and fighting mayweather is ludacris!
He has come far financially because he is exciting to watch. He has not really achieved anything great. Has he cleaned out any divisions? No. What happens when he steps up against top level fighters? He loses. If he was boring to watch, no one would even be talking about him..
Me neither. But if Ward is the son of god, and Virgil is his godfather, then Virgil must be a really good friend of god.
Dr. Dre
I am Pakistani nd we are proud he is 2nd pakistani to become world champion before it was khaliq jawaid but amir khan hav gone mad!!!!! u cant beat p4p best in this era!!!!
Floyds an accustomed strong built natural welterweight who fought an unbeaten Hatton coming up from 140, Khan is more talented but has taken too much punishment from Maidana, Peterson and Garcia so going up to 147 to fight Mayweather, Khan will see how physically strong Mayweather is this is just a payday that he can't turn down and after this will not be the same and after 4 losses every fight will be a risk and he could turn out like Judah taking losses
what suprises me is that khan has come this far without being completley dedicated to the sport! mayweather,ward,garcia,marquez train all yr round no breaks i wonder what khan could do if he had the same attitude just a thought idk. mayweather wins though in a more interesting fight than people would expect. round 6
I want to see this fight. Just to see how badly khans ass would get kicked
