    But Max Kellerman always says that Khan is huuuuuuuuuuuge.

      I mean skills can be taught, right? So why not?

      I dunno if Amir is a knockout waiting to happen but he got hit way too often last night. And I mean way too mucn unnecessarily.
      Amir aint gonna get better til he conquers his demons!

        Well, why can't Amir do that either?

        Because of his footwork?

          I really dont think there are any alarm bells ringing for Kahn, he now knows what boxing aspect to work on. Unless he wants to go for the easy route of getting the Peterson fight in the UK, that way the fight will be stopped after the first flurry of punches from Kahn.

            You care about anything Max Kellerman says?

              Even though I had Amir winning the fight as well (including the point deductions), Amir is very hot-headed and the people around him constantly give him praise and aren;t critical of him.

                In regards to all this trainer talk, Amir Khan should do what he thinks is best for his career. I personally believe Amir has improved some under Freddie, but there is a ways to go and you can't expect him to learn everything in 3 years; it takes years upon years and still, you'll never learn everything. I wouldn't blame Freddie for what Amir did and didn't do in the ring, but if he feels like he needs another trainer to become a better fighter, then that's a perfectly legitimate reason to part ways with Roach. At the end of the day, his loyalty is to himself and his family.

                  Khan wastes a lot of energy and imo his conditioning is not that great he needs to stop moving around so much and fight in the pocket


                  I think he is trying to be like Manny but with out stamina Khan should just forget about being a high workrate fighter

                    imagine if peterson was 30 pounds overweight, much slower, much less agile, and with much less stamina. that's how wlad does it.
