Comments Thread For: Roach: Khan Needs to Clean Out 140, Then Mayweather

[Jim Tom]

Before a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., trainer Freddie Roach would like to see Amir Khan clean out the junior welterweight division. Khan returned on December 11 to retain his WBA 140-pound title with a unanimous twelve round decision win against mandatory Marcos Maidana.

Roach's just a moron desperate to create a star.Khan hasnt improved under Roach if anything his fitness sucks and he looks fat.Khan cant move his head,cant block shots all he does is move backwards and if you chase him he runs out of ideas.You put Khan on the ropes and you'l hit him at will,he cant block upper cuts,cant block hooks,he's really very green.His only chance is a first mover advantage if he knocks someone early in the fight and that wont happen with Bradley.Bradley will knock this hype out and it's gonna be slow roasting

if khan can take floyds punch (which 99 percent of fighters can) then he will destory mayweather. Too much handspeed, too much footwork. He can beat gayweather any way he wants too including TKO

...are you serious?!?!?....AK is my dude...I like him way more than I do Floyd but c'mon man....AK aint beating Floyd now or in the next 2 or 3 years

Amir has not enough skills to fight in the level of floyd. He is young so he will still improve. Dont feed him yet to the crocs at the WW.

why the **** is freddie even talking about a khan mayweather fight

[jasbar]

I believe Roach he's more knowledgeable than all of us. I think Khan can beat Floyd and Pac in 2 years time.

I agree! I think Khan has a lot of potential and proved (at least to me anyway) that he has a champion's heart. I think Alexander would have got KO'd by Maidana if he got hit the way Khan did. Bradley probably would have been able to survive but it would have been tough. I give Khan more credit than I did before. Beating Paulie Malignaggi meant nothing but beating Maidana and taking that huge punch and surviving does say something. If I were Khan, I would do what Freddie says and stay away from Mayweather until 2012 and clean out 140 lbs. first. Should be a fun ride to watch...

Well in two years Floyd will be 35 if his reflexes have slowed down Khan may have a chance if he has made a lot of improvements.

i agree with raoch...khan looked bad becuase maidana's punches were hurtin him...floyd does'nt have that kind of power neither the output....khan got decent skills , speeed and power and a bit bigger than floyd, he defintely has a good chance....but for now, he should go for the winner of bradely vs alexander ...

[wazaa.]

Only chance Amir has in beating Floyd is if Floyd slows down.
