Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather Says Khan Must Use His Long Reach

[MASTER1454]

Khan gets with roger or floyd sr and he'll improve significantly.

No question....

What Khan heard was:
Throw more punches and faster while jumping in and out.

Yep & he got caught coming out...

Roger is an underrated and under appreciated trainer. Like Floyd Jr. one time "How come Roger has never won Trainer of the year when his fighter is undefeated" In all honesty Roach gets a lot of credit because of his illness. The Mayweather's are seen as ghetto loud mouth guys but they know boxing more than a bunch of people.

It's easy to root vs. the "bad" guys & that's how the Mayweathers are viewed, no matter how talented they are. But it's because how they act - ghetto people should know their place. How dare they act like they're about something when they're from nothing?

Roger couldn't help Khan take a big hit. You cannot get a new jaw and nerve endings.

Nah, Roger can help him from getting hit in the 1st place......

Yea he'll improve but Rog can't teach IQ

[Alpha & Omega]

Roger is speaking some sense here. Look at Wlad and his career? Wlad was a world class talented wrecking ball until he ran in to few guys (Sanders, Brewster) and got iced. With the help of Manny Steward he learned how to adjust his fighting style because he has had issues with punch resistance as well. Now he is an unstoppable force. Khan has the speed, ability and talent to do that as well. He just needs a trainer who can help him mentally adjust and change up some of his technique. To fight tall, keep his opponents on the outside, use more angles, improve his defense, improve his in-fighting, etc.

In almost all big fights, there will be atleast 1 big shot and you have to endure that unless your as good defensively as floyd, which khan can never learn to be.

I reckon Roger would be a great addition to the Khan team (and parting ways with Roach). Freddie has had plenty of years to develop Khan and, although Khan has been successful in all of his fights with Freddie (including the close and controversial decision loss to PEDerson), Freddie has failed in many ways. For starters, Khan still fights like an amateur and bounces all over the place. And second, he drops his hands way too much! Roger would obviously try to correct those mistakes and try to get him to tighten up (his defense).

Nope Rodger would not. If Kahn tried to train with Rodger, he would only be moving from the frying pac to the fire. Rodger is training another p4p super star in Floyd. Unless Kahn starts breaking the PPV gates, he will have to take a back seat to both Pac and Floyd ..

khan doesnt have a long reach.. he has a small wingspan.

This is true. Believe it or not, Zab Judah has a longer reach than khan.

Why are people trying to send Khan to Roger or Floyd Sr...that would be a terrible decision...Philly shell isn't something you can just go out and pick up, you need to be baptized in it. If the instincts required for philly shell were easy to pick up you'd see everyone using it and even reversing it for southpaws...you need to have it drilled into your head from pretty much puberty to use it to full effectiveness...

People are idiots. And due to Mayweather, certain things have gotten incredibly overrated. The Mayweathers can't just improve Khan, especially without neglecting something else.

Ok genius, what is "something else"?

I thought floyd sr. helped ODH to a degree and it wasn't with the shell. WHile I understand your point, Khan is smart and athletic. He could learn and utilize what floyd sr. would offer him easily. I think Khan needs to utilize his athleticism and his reach more and I think floyd sr./roger helps him.
