    Letting Alex Ariza go was always going to be a backwards step for Khan

    Its probably the first smart decision Team Khan have made since going with Freddie Roach. Im sure Michael Vale or whoever it is atm is a very good conditioning coach, but he isnt Ariza and for once that Shylock money grabbing family and advisers of Amir's have made a decision in his best interests.

    Hopefully this can be resolved and we can move onto more positive things like getting Bradley in the ring, or finding an adequate yet respectable replacement.

    Khan wants to destroy Bradley that badly that he would swallow his ego and make peace with Ariza.

      The way Khan bounces on his feet, which most of the time is unnecessary, he's gonna need the conditioning. His issues are more technical. Just earlier I was watching prime DLH and Oscar's athleticism reminded me somewhat of Khan's, except Oscar knew when to plant his feet and move around.

      Khan needs work, serious work, Ariza had zero to do with why he looked average against McCloskey.

          He doesnt need serious work, hes still learning and thats good. Theres no one better to be learning under atm than Freddie Roach. Aslong as Khan has his youth, speed and power he'll get by on that until his footwork and ring smarts improve with time, like it does for most fighters.

          But he doesnt need loads of work, just fine tuning, and no more than Bradley does

                  No, he needs serious work, more so than Bradley. Bradley is clearly the much better boxer, mixes his attack, has head/ upper body movement, wider arsenal of punches, goes to the body, better counter puncher. In fact I wouldn't even view Bradley vs. Khan has competitive if it weren't for Khan's size and athleticism.

                    are you smoking crack? because Bradley likes to mix it when he comes forward between headbutting and throwing punches means that he's a superior boxer? Dream on man, Khan may not be all that versatile in what he does, but his speed and combination punching will stop Bradley in his tracks, headbutt or no headbutt. Bradley will eat jabs and right hands all night and Khan will be gone before Bradleys eyes have even opened
