Good move, Roach is definately one of the best. -
Khan wants the winner of Diaz and Pac.. After he saw Pac demolished Diaz, it was reported on BBC that he is not stepping up...
Roach would provide offense for Khan.. using offense as defense ...Comment

a push in the right direction i think.
can't figure out if warren is playing out his cash cow khan or if he protects,and thinks khan is as much of a lackey as he appears against 3rd tier opponents.
roach could possible set him strait with some basic defense which he drasticaly needs. and how long can khan last at ltwt? he is no compition for any of the top ten ltwts and at ltwltr he would be laughable.
maybe he should just stay in britton and fight cabdrivers for hoaky local belts.
i mean hell the guy hasnt fought anyone ranked higher than 75.
his last bout with gomez(ranked 169) was a step backwards.
and man ive been having to watch boxing streams on setanta and all the hype talk about this khan. its like a small town press going wild for a local yokal highschool team.Comment

Freddie has a lot on his plate, I think i would go for Roger Mayweather because Roger doesn't have anyone else big on his plate so you would get lots of attention. Roach is good but how many dudes can he really train at one time and Manny is always going to be his main guy, while he is around.Comment

boy watch his fights on utube. this guy needs more than just defense.
he needs some rebar to rienforce his chin.and against this type of opponents.Comment

Roach is a pretty good trainer. I think he can do Khan some good.Comment
