Khan should have went with Roger or Sr, instead of Roach?

I disagree, now while Roach is a fantastic trainer, a great teacher, and an even better strategist, he isn't the greatest defensive trainer. However, Khan cannot start learning how to slip and slide, duck and weave all of a sudden under the tutelage of Mayweather , he'd get KO'd! Look at Ricky Hatton, he should just learn to keep his hands up and have a tighter guard, learn to avoid uppercuts, and how to move around the ring better. I think Ariza is a fantastic conditioning coach, Khan used to have a chin made of wine glass, now it's pretty sturdy. Look at Pacquiao, he was getting KO'd by much smaller men, now he can take Cotto and Margarito's best. I cannot agree with that.

Yeah, but you know, Ricky Hatton is a bad example to use. He just rushed into Pacquiao, which was really ******. Its not always the trainers fault, the fighter has to listen. Hatton walking into Pacquiao with very little to no head movement which was suicide and I wouldn't blame that on Mayweather completely. Hatton, I'm sure, chose what way he wanted to fight Pac and chose what advise he would use. Just my opinion.

Amir should have gone to Manny Steward IMO.

He has trained tall fighters with fantastic jabs and weak chins before befor like Hearns and Lewis. And he is now training another fighter with a weak chin and a great jab in Wlad Klitschko.

He would do wonders for Amir.

I hope you're not basing that on how he did against Maidana. Khan is still very young, just turned 24. Maidana is in his prime at 27. Khan did very good and will definitely learn how to deal with that kind of attack after this fight. Manny wasn't always this good either, it just takes time. I would suggest Khan go elswhere if he doesn't show improvement in the next few fights, but I don't expect that happening.

i agree with waaza, manny steward would have been a great fit for khan.

Steward is the only other viable option since the said trainer has a good history of making winners out of boxers with weak chins, or supposedly weak chins.

However you'd be hard-pressed to convince Amir to chance trainers now.
