    Is Roach all wrong for Khan?

    IMO he is you can’t take away the fact Khan has bags of talent but his style is so amateurish. His style got exposed by Peterson!

    Got a poll going! Who do you think he would be better off with?

      No need to switch,Ariza just needs to make a better blend of his special shakes that's all.

        He needs to stop throwing 6 punch combo's - stick with 2-3 punches with his speed thats all he needs to do. I want him to come in 5 pounds heavier too like lamont. I believe fight night lamont gained 5 more pounds than amir going into the ring.

          i been saying this myself.He needs to sit down when thrwoing combos, more power, an like the guy above said, threes an maybe fours, rather than 5 or 6 lighter ones.

            Roach never really teaches his fighters how to box.

            It seems as though he teaches them to throw wild punches with power from awkward angles and then take a step to the right. His fighters also have pretty bad defense.

              Roger or Manny in my opinion would be a better choice, but i think he'll be fine with roach

                  Yeah, he needs a different trainer, but he needs to keep Ariza though. Ariza's conditioning, saved his @$$ in the Maidana and Peterson fights.

                    I think he'd mesh up well with Steward. Steward has his guys fighting tall and boxing w/ fundamentals and then when the timing is right, go for the gusto.

                    He has too many soft skills and talent to not be able to keep a guy off of him w/o resorting to blatant throws.

                    Roach has him fighting, whether it comes from tendency or not to fight like Pacquaio, but they aren't in the same class of speed, power and chin
