[S A M U R A I]

Freddie Roach, trainer of Amir Khan, says the talented lightweight will soon be ready to fight and beat junior welterweight Ricky Hatton. Khan on December 6 against Oisin ***an; the first fight for Khan since being knocked out a few months ago by Breidis Prescott in 54-seconds. [details]

Wow.

I say put him in with Ricky and see what happens. Khan would get KTFO, no question. Roach is a fool.

I dont think so. Right now Hatton would eat Khan Alive. Hatton has way more experience and is stronger. I think Hatton would bully him ala Cotto vs Judah. Hatton would KO this guy within 6. And by the way I dont think can is that chinny, he just got caught flush by a real Power Puncher.

I think it was from Khan being overhyped... he isn't really THAT good...sure he looks good against bums in the UK, but to suddenly go to a strong fighter is crazy. That's why you've gotta applaud Hatton and Calzaghe's promoters. With their fighting styles, I know for a fact, coming up they would never make it in the New York fight scene. BUt they are able to slowly build up in the UK and gain experience, and out of that comes a very confident, "unorthodox" fighting style..

I think you're fool to refuse to understand the message, Roach stated that Khan have that tools to defeat Hatton soon, he doesn't mean today or tomorrow. Of course he would be massacred by Hatton if today, but i believe with the right training from wildcard and with little maturity on his boxing perception, I believe, Khan would be explosive!

Roach dont get to enthusiastic will you? Could khan beat Paul Malignni first of all? And then coiuld khan beat his sparring partner Pacamn? And then could khan beat Hatton lastly?
Of course he could give Hatton a very good fight no doubt. But too early to say Khan would beat hatton. Down the line possibly could. Becasue i believe khan to have enormous potential.

This fight will never happen. By the time Khan is a credible threat Hatton will be retired. I don't see Hatton fighting past 2009.

Exactly.

As to Khan, the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. Although he certainly doesn't have an iron jaw, I've yet to see evidence he has a glass chin, either.. the shots that put him down would put most lightweights on the canvas regardless of who threw them. His problem is not so much how he responds to being hit as being hit far too often in the first place if his opponent doesn't lie down and play dead. Roach will either train that out of him or he won't. The Prescott fight was a good thing for Khan, it rammed home a few home truths while there is still time for Khan to do something about them. He was protected, and not learning, for too long.

Let's get it right; Freddie Roach is saying this. Khan isn't.


Khan knows not to open his mouth and say anything ****** - like how he could beat everyone - for a long long time.

[KILLA RIGHT]

So That Must Mean Manny Can Beat Oscar Hahahahhahhahhahahha

[keepthemhandsup]

is it just me or do roach have ALOT of confindence in the fighters he train? like saying manny willl beat oscar which i think can happen...but KO oscar.....no...

unless khan improved on his defense and somehow made his chin a little stronger...he don't stand a chance anginist haton who i say is the top 140-er as of now. khan will get khan'ed again

[big-lynch]

wtf ricky would smash khan in 3 rounds

[VY CMa]

Khan would easily beat Malignaggi.
