Roach Says Amir Khan Can Beat Ricky Hatton

[hammerhiem]

That was a temple shot.

You better hope it wasn't, because it's significantly easier to hit a fighters temple than his chin.

How time flies, i'm thinking it's the 29th of november but clearly it's april the 1st.

Not with Khan it isn't.

Oliver Harrison masterminded the gameplan of Khan leaving his chin in the air to dry, to entice opponents in, resulting in them leaving themselves open.

Roach seems to be talkin' alot of tall sh** these days.
I'll be much more likely to give statements like this credence should Pacman happen to beat DLH. Does Roach have somethin' here or is he just tryin' to draw attention to himself and his stable?

roach is so ****ing overrated...


remember when he said vazquez was punchdrunk after they parted ways???then vazquez went on to look better than ever in the marquez rematch???how about the Hopkins is shot should retire talk????

Not working out too well for him is it, maybe he should learn some real defencive skills to cover up that weak chin and err temple area instead.

Khan's an ungrateful ****. Ricky invited Khan on his little talk show and he gets repayed with smack talk. Khan couldn't carry Ricky's jack strap, so he couldn't.

Umm, if you read the article carefully. The only comment Khan made was that he never had the kinda quality sparring in the UK compared to Los Angeles.

I don't think Roach was talkin' smack at all. All he said was he thinks Khan has the goods to to beat a fighter like Ricky.

I think y'all are forgetting that this is prizefighting. There's only two things in prizefighting, elite level athletes and $$$. Khan and Hatton are elite athletes and are here to make $$$. If it means two friends having to go at it, so be it.

I think Khan, just like Roach said, has the talent to matchup with anyone. It boils down to Khan being mature and ready to face that caliber of fighters

Since when is Khan an Elite level professional?

Yeah, I guess James Toney, B-Hop, Oscar De La Hoya, Manny PACquiao, Mike Tyson and a plethora of other world-class fighters don't know **** when picking out a trainer.

Roach was an Eddie Futch trained student. Do you even know who Eddie Futch is?

It's like being coached by Vince Lombardi, Red Auerbach..... When you talk of American pro trainers, Eddie Futch was IT

Since when is Khan an Elite level professional?

Okay, let me re-state that. Khan is an Elite level athlete, meaning, how many pro-fighters today have the kinda natural talent Khan has?

He hasn't reached his potential, but the natural ability is definitely world-class!

If Khan wasn't a gifted athlete, would all those endorsments have been flowing in to Khan's pockets?

Khan may well end up being a bust. I don't think it would have to do with his natural abilities, but would have to do with his drive to be the best.

Wether you're a Khan fan or hater, you cannot deny the kid's athleticism, it's quite obvious. But the biggest ? is, How bad does Khan want it. Can he bounce back from such a defeat?

It's mental not physical for Khan.
