Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Khan's Biggest Problem is Freddie Roach

[BoZz]

Roach is a bum coach...lucky him and duckqiao have ariza..he's the only one in the wild card gym who knows how to mix it up (not just shakes)

Former champion Amir Khan had his trajectory as a fighter changed dramatically last night when he was upset by hometown favorite Lamont Peterson at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.

The last time Ricky Hatton was trained by Floyd Sr is when Pac whooped his ass. Roach is 5 times trainer of the year and a Hall of Fame'r. Floyd Sr is in the Hall of Shame..Only idiots will give attention to Mayweather Sr.

What an idiot..

Ive been saying it for a while. Roach is all wrong for what khan should truly be capable of. Its really a shame, I think he's already wasted too much time. He's not pac, he should have never been an all offensive fighter in the first place

I was talking with my cousins and I said that Roach was a tad overrated. And I think it's in large due to the success that Manny has had. Does he teach his fighters defense? Amir was getting hit flush too much in that fight. And Peterson's pressure had him Jerkin for the second half of the fight. Does he teach his fighters to fight on the inside? I don't think so. They don't have to be great there, but adding that element will help when necessary.

He talks a lot of trash but to say only idiots will give attention to Mayweather doesn't make any sense. I don't agree with everything he says but at the end of the day Floyd sr is a very good trainer and knows boxing better than most ppl.

I am not going to cuss Roach. he has done a magnificent job with Pacquiao. But Roach hasn't been good for Khan at all. Khan's defense is all over the place and he seems to use speed at the expense of timing.

So in other words you're an idiot? Glad you cleared that up for us.

He could have jabbed Peterson to the chest, make him reset himself, instead he opted to move back every time Peterson came in aggressively. The only times Peterson was forced to reset was through Khan's illegal tactics, that's sad honestly. Way too many holes in Khan's game, think we all knew this from the start, but still I expected him to beat Peterson quite easily.

Khan should definitely look for a new trainer, he should start off by jabbing more, cutting his work rate by 20% at least and look to land meaningful punches. It was the same recycled stuff from Khan.
