Roach saying Khan is getting closer n closer to dominating his fights in just 3 years... he looked very dominating in those late rounds against maidana huh

True, but everyone said it would be a wide zuD or Maidana KO if he landed.

Also round 11 and 12 weren't dominated by Maidana. Watch it again. 11 was a draw in my opinion.

I think people are not reading. PAC is clearly the better fighter, but khan is progressing faster to be unbeatable.

Unbeatable...

PAC is better no doubt, but he was wild and did get beat more than Khan, although he did achieve more by 24.
Morales is hof but he beat PAC, and JmM got a draw.

What Roach is saying is, Khan is developing better and could be getting closer to a stage where he can't be beat. Heck it could be 3 more years, who knows til Khan gets to that point.

2 years is a possibility.

F Martinez is p4p 2, with Williams, pavlik, dzirink (sp) then boy Khan can be up there with his resume in 2 years.

If Khan adds Judah, Bradley and moves up, to say fight Berto or Ortiz, and fan 'win', he will be at the top.

Oh and it is breides (sp) rather than Brandon.

sadly he doesn't have the chin to be p4p.

Also after seeing what Lara did to P williams, Martinez is little overrated.

Khan by brutal KO in the mid-rounds.

you're SUPPOSED to come in here and bash Roach....he said somebody is doing something BETTER than Manny...stick to the script and go in on the overrated wack ass trainer....you dudes are funny

Possibly he doesn't, but let's see how well his defines can get and if a move up also makes him stronger.

Khan's chin at 135 was too weak, but he did get naked to make weight by then.

At 140 it is stronger, he has a thicker neck and legs, and also rolls shots, which he didn't do before.

Add head movement and Khan will be hard to beat, he can take some shots. Maidana does hit hard and hurt him badly, but didn't drop him!

Amir Khan will NEVER be P4P. It's not just about speed and power to be number one. A great chin, heart and smarts is also required; of which Amir has none.

It took Roach a long time to mold Pac into the fighter you see today.

All roach is saying is that Khan is progressing faster (improving faster) that is not beyond the realms of possibility in fact it is very possible and why would Roach give a false opinion he has nothing to gain from that.

People bringing up Khans chin (as they do in every Khan thread) it is 100% irrelevant to how fast Khan is progressing Roach has always said Khan was a good listener and a quick learner and its obvious to all how far Khan has developed under Roach.

This site seems to get crowded by more unintelligent disrespectful idiots by the day.

The only reason it took manny 8 years to get where he is today is that it took him around 5-6 years to find the right CHEMIST..

You ****in nailed it!

Really, if we look closely at Pac 'skills' in defense and offense, here are the ones that stand out. There's the right hook that wasn't there before, there's the head movement now that reminds me of Color Purple movie poster, there's the 'double' punch that BADLY HURT 'wtf was his name' boxer from Africa, and of course, now he's got a friendly smile, caring hugs before the ref breaks them, glove-touching while winking, all these new 'skills' disarm any aggression from the opponent, robbing them of any good chances of winning! Hail to Pac and to Roach, Ariza and Arum!
