Roach Says Amir Khan Can Beat Ricky Hatton

[Naz Fan]

Khan doesnt want Hatton. Not only would Hatton destroy him, Khan doesn't want to make himself any more unpopular with the British public.

If he wants to get everyone behind him, fighting the most popular British boxer of all time isn't the way to do it. Not saying no british fighter should ever fight Ricky but Khan is someone thats pretty much disliked by the public who is being marketed as someone who wants to be loved by the British public.

Ok now it's official. What is Roach smoking and where can I get some? First all the crazy Oscar-Pac talk, and now this. No way in hell Khan beats Hatton as much as I hate Hatton. But I like when they talked Paulie and Khan in the same sentence because they are sooo similar. Paulie can take on the elite, problem is, when the elite can punch, he has no chance punching back. Khan's in the same predicatment. Sure Khan can punch, but his chin can't take punches back, so when a puncher is in there with him, the puncher always has a chance at tapping that chin and it's lights out for Khan. Khan is about as good as Rey Bautista. Both should face each other to find out who was the more overrated upcoming overhyped star.

I think the reason behind Roach's public statement also has something to do with trying to get Khan's confidence back up. It's just like when our parents or ***** has said all throughout his campaign, "Yes we can".

Roach, as we already know, is good at playing the psyche game with his fighters and the opposition. I mean, just look at the timing of Roach's statement, Khan's next fight after the Prescott debacle is just right around the corner. Roach is just giving his boy a pep talk. Don't read too much into Freddie's statement.

Dude, you saying Khan is done, would've been like saying PAC was done after the Torrecampo fight. Like I said before, we don't know how Khan will be, he could turnout a bust( ie Bojado), or he can turn into a world-champ.

Comparing Khan to Bautista is completely off. I for one, did not see anything in Bautista, nothin'. It's evident with Khan that he has the natural ability, the potential is definitely there.

Khan, if he stays committed and the drive is there, with the talent that he has, he can beat Hatton. Hatton's style is made to order for Khan. It's all mental for Khan.

Silly comment by Roach, If Amir Khan can't beat Prescott, how do you figure that he can beat Hatton. It makes no sense what so ever, But of course Roach is Khan's trainer now, And he just hyping his guy.

[BoxingScribe]

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

Guess what? B-Hop lost, Oscar lost, and Mike tyson ALL lost under Roach the joke coach. He didnt teach Tony ANYTHING. His only claim to fame is Manny. Roach is a joke.

If anyone deserves a shot at Hatton should be Prescott, not Khan.

Prescott beats any of them.

[sparked_85]

Khan got buckled by jab.

It wasn't so much those shots that put him down they would have KO'd everyone in the lightweight, possibly light Welterweight division. They were bonafide bombs and thrown in the early going when all the steam was on them.

Khan needs to rematch Prescott. If he beats him after a devastating knockout like that he'll be on top of the world. As an athlete Khan is incredible. I believe in him. But......buckled by Jab.
