Roach has ruined Linares and Khan.....

[Isaac Hunt]

Roach has never taught Khan to fight on the inside and has not tightened up his defence. Those holes showed tonight and in the peterson fight. It needed fixing ages ago but Khan concentrated on the excuses in stead of his deficiencies. If Khan drops Roach and works with a boxing coach on his defence he can still be a great fighter but the excuses spin and bull**** is not going to cut it.

Khan is very 1 dimensional and easy to figure out. He should have stuck with the mayweathers who would have improved his skills and not stuck with what worked.

roach didnt ruin khan, but he certainly didnt help him. wrong coach.

I don't know, there has been a pretty obvious decrease in the way Khan fights. He fights more and more like Manny Pacquiao with every fight, that's no coincidence, and he can't fight that way. He isn't smart enough and he doesn't have the chin.

You could pair Khan with the greatest trainer in the history of the sport, and supply him with the perfect gameplan.......as soon as his chin is touched.....none of that matters.

again khan is very one dimensional...you dont need a trainer to tell you something like 'garcia is setting you up for a left hook look out for that'

Well lets be clear here. Khan, since getting with Roach, had really been circling the ring well. Using all of the ring and throwing those very flashy and fast 8 punch combo's.

If you all have seen it, Brandon Rios did a hilariously accurate impression of it.

But he didn't do any of that in this fight except when he was hurt. He was clearly going in for the KO from the very beggining, standing right in front of Garcia from round 1 and on. Even in the first round Garcia timed him quite well with some nice power shots, and Khan insisted on staying in front of him and making it a fight.

Freddie Roachs spotty track record recently does speak for itself, but the only thing you can fault him on here is his inability to discipline Khan.

Look what Emmanuel did with a chinny Wlad, made him the most dominating HW right now.

Because Wlad started using his head, he first gets control of a fight before being agressive. Something that Khan shouldve done, spend the first few hours getting control over your opponent and slowly increase the tempo. You do Maidana it for the lulz and hope that he doesnt catch you.

Its just sad seeing a talent go to waste, I been one to make fun of Khan but I feel for the kid, losing to someone with way less talent......Hopefully Khan ditches roach and finds someone who isnt holywood.

Linares toilet paper skin is not Roachs fault, neither is Khans glass chin.

Sadly this is the truth.

[purecyse]

Freddy Roach has publicly stated that he wants Khan to stand more flat-footed. There is more to blame here than Khan's chin.

thats why u get better defense. khan has zero defense and a weak chin. like i said, roach is the wrong coach.
