    Why does Khan as a former Olympian have so many holes in his offense and defence?

    If you look at all previous Olympians they had their fundamentals in place. But it seems Khan has regressed under Roach, who don't get me wrong is a good trainer. On the otherhand Ariza has done wonders for Khan.

    I'll give you one example, uppercuts and backing up against the ropes. Why hasn't this been corrected? Roach is so good at spotting weaknesses in the opponents game he turns a blind eye to his own fighters.

        Roach only knows how to teach offense. His fighters all have the same style just that Pac has the speed, durability, and power to make Freddies crap style smell like roses. There is a reason why Roach was crap as a pro himself. Look up vids of Roach's fights no skill at all.

            Which is why i cannot see Khan becoming a great champion.

            Pacs defence has improved over the years, clearly, but his offence is so good that he didnt have to much rely on his defence.

            I dont believe khans has the toe to toe fighting ability, so his defence must be alot better than what Pacs has to be. I honestly thought i was watching a very amateurish Pac in there at times when Khan was on the offensive.

            Maybe Khan should think about what would happen if roaches health took a turn for the worse.

              The main problem that I saw with Khan is he can't fight on the inside at all.

              I thought Team Khan would've been working on this, but I guess not.

                He should get B-Hop to tighten up his defence.

                  khan folds under pressure...he got power and handspeed but when his opponent can manage to cut the distance he doesn't know what to do.

                    Roaches fighters are weak on the inside and sloppy as hell.
