Why is Roach very vocal about a Khan vs Mayweather fight?

[waxfondler]

honestly, i think roach is sick of the games being played... like most trainers, i would assume he just wants the fight made. maybe he sees khan as an easier fight to get made by BOTH sides.

with pac/floyd bad blood still fresh (and getting worse),

as for whether roach thinks amir is BETTER than pac, there might be truth to the idea that he sees amazing potential in khan... i mean, the gameplan would be essentially the same... granted, each fighter has unique tools, but strategy would remain fairly similar.

floyd/pac is just a sticky situation...

khan has a lazy jab?

How long have you been watching boxing? since 2 minutes ago?

Oh its lazy and will get pull countered all day

hmmmm... i can see that happening. but khan has the arm length to keep floyd at bay. floyd will have to REALLY reach to land. keep in mind khans footwork. also, khan puts 3-4 punch combo then moves... he wont be throwing the same jab jmm & shane threw. floyd picked shane apart because shane wasnt putting the combos together... when shane put a simple 1-2 together, he tagged floyd flush... it was shane's fault for abandoning the combos & deciding to go for hayemakers. and jmm simply didnt have the offense to threaten floyd.

either way, floyd outclasses khan AT THIS POINT... but lets see how khan progresses in 1-2 years.

so shane abandoned it or did floyd adjust and make him abandon it

floyd DEFINITELY made shane abandon it. but that doesnt negate the fact that shane WOULDNT stick to the gameplan. after floyd adjusted, shane SHOULDVE adjusted as well... but he didnt. we all know how floyd fights, its not a secret...
floyd rips your heart out... if you cant handle potshots & counters, its childsplay for floyd.

Putting Khan in there first will give him an opportunity to study Mayweather more and try to break his style down for Pacquiao.

Its almost like a father running in the street, saving his child from being hit by oncoming traffic, while knocking his stepchild over on the way out.

Pretty much. I don't know what else there is to gather from this, except for the fact that Khan says there will be no issue with testing.

I think Arum's been out of the country for a couple of weeks.
