Unless the new trainer can install a better chin he will always be at risk of GKTFO. His power is overatted and he wont be able to sit on his punches because of the risk of him getting crumbled to pieces by incoming fire. He moves to 147 and his power will be even less with fighters that will be able to take harder punches. His speed is his asset but if he can't hurt the other fighter they will walk him down.

Khan already changed trainers twice, still hasn't learned head and upper body movement. At some point people are gonna have to realize that with Khan, what you see is what you get. He's pretty much a finished product. It's gonna be hard to swallow for his fans but I think he reached his ceiling.Comment

I respect khan for fighting every and anybody. But I honestly dont think a change in his corner will change anything. Same with ortiz. There always gonna be good but not great fighters. Not in the elite class and both have there limatationsComment

Adam Booth is great at tactics and is very tough. However Khan does not ****ing listen. I am a huge Khan fan and in sparring he was told to box, not fight and he said 'But it is not exciting'.
His mentality is, I want to please the fans, but he has not got the chin for it like Pac or Froch. Khan is trying to blame it on his trainer but it is him. This is what I hate about Khan at times.
I love him and hate him! I wish someone could sit down and tell him, Amir, you were too aggressive! If you box and move, as Freddie says, then you will win.Comment

I understand Khan's frustration. He has to make a drastic change. To him, he's thinking "I need to fight Mayweather and become the best pound 4 pound. But time is limited and I just lost which holds me back even further." Khan has to start making moves fast. He has no choice but to rush everything. He's on time limit and it sucks.Comment

its not completely Roaches fault but he a change of trainer and culture is good for him
sometimes change is good for the sake of change. the fact that he was hanging and sparring with Pacquiao gave him a big head. He was already bragging how he bested Pacquiao in sparring and "took his best punches"
just the most ridiculous things ive heard out of Khan to date, in a real fight he would have been killed. look what Garcia did to him.
lose the pacquiao and roach connection and start a new like Kelly PavlikComment
