Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather Says Khan Must Use His Long Reach

So Roger said this without even seeing the fight. In the beginning of the interview he says he hasn't even watched it yet.

Rogers seen Khan spar at his gym and wasnt impressed by his tactics. I am guessing he saw this lanky kid with fast hands walk into the ring and not use his god given advantage and instead do his best Pacman impersonation.

I reckon Roger would be a great addition to the Khan team (and parting ways with Roach). Freddie has had plenty of years to develop Khan and, although Khan has been successful in all of his fights with Freddie (including the close and controversial decision loss to PEDerson), Freddie has failed in many ways. For starters, Khan still fights like an amateur and bounces all over the place. And second, he drops his hands way too much! Roger would obviously try to correct those mistakes and try to get him to tighten up (his defense).

Roger Mayweather had some great advice for him "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" and stop worrying about possibly being Knocked Out

but fighter today they are more concerned about LOSING and having to deal with the Facebook, Twitter and Boxing Forum Fans talk **** about them when they lose...a lot of fighters honestly seems more concerned about that then they are anything else...but this is also why Promoters are PROTECTING FIGHTERS NOW because they don't want to fans to give up on them when they lose and a lot of fans do give up on fighters once they lose

you don't have to stay Undefeated like Mayweather to become a boxing SUPERSTAR

The sky is blue

Water is wet

And if you are tall and rangy you must use your long reach.

khan and paquiao are in the same boat. neither know how to fight and can't make adjustments when **** is'nt going their way. speed and power are a fraction in boxing. they need a trainer that knows how to teach them how to fight and not somebody riding on their coat tail.roach never could box so he sure a hell can't teach it.

With his handspeed and length, Khan is capable of staying outside and beating just about anyone. He's done so against good fighters, recently though he has gone away from that and become a Pacquiao wannabe.

Nothing wrong with jumping in, but he should not do so often and he should never stay there. He's too long and has too good hand speed to fight that way.

I got nothing against a tall rangy guy going inside a bit IF they can fight there effectively, in fact being able to do both makes guys very tricky to beat. It is a bit risky mainly in transition from inside out or outside in but the reward in throwing off the other guy is generally worth it.

If a guy like Khan who on the inside has no abilities at all (fighting,defense,being dirty), they need to stay away and exploit their advantage properly.
