Comments Thread For: Pacquiao is Twice as Good as Amir Khan, Says Roach

[JOM'S]

Roach is just hyping the fight. And he did more to Pac than just a right hand. He should get credit. I mean ... just look at Pac fights before the Ledwaba match, no real technique just brawling and hoping that his strong left will land. Pac is a world champion before Roach got him but he only landed that left and bam he got Sasakul out. Before that left, you can argue that pac lost all the rounds. Sasakul schooled him that night. Pac just got lucky.

I wont say PAC just got lucky ...

Manny worked hard for his first world championship and was aiming for that punch the whole fight ...

He is one of the greatest trainers in history fool.

Based on WHAT? On taking a 2-time world champion and spending 8 years getting him to throw more right hands?

Aside from Pac, just name ONE fighter that Roach has developed. And I'm not talking about doing 1 or 2 fights like he did with Hopkins or DLH. I'm talking DEVELOPED.

Hint: you cant, because he never has.

My bad, I forgot about Mickey Rourke. lol

and Brittany Spears might win a grammy. Whats your point?

Khan is an up and comer and has not proven anything as of yet. Defeating Salita hardly qualifies you as a superstar. Until and unless this kid fights and defeats top-ranked competition all this talk about being a superstar is a mute point.

He's getting there man. The questions is: was Pac as good as Amir at 23?

Pac was doing great when he was 23.. no question..

Im tired of reading about Amir Khan when hes a "nobody", I mean seriously who is this guy besides being Manny Pacquiao sparring partner??? STFU ROACH

[FLYBOY]

The title is very misleading... Roach didn't explicitly say that Manny is twice as good as Amir. He said that Amir is halfway there to reaching Manny's level...

What ever on record is WBA light welter weight champ

[Nuurzhaelan]

Although WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan who celebrates his 23rd birthday on December 9 is considered a tremendous prospect by trainer Freddie Roach and conditioning expert Alex Ariza, Roach concedes that pound-for-pound superstar Manny Pacquiao is twice as good as Khan. [To Read More]

Khan is paying roach too. I am sure this comment will go over very well.
