Actually a quick pot-shotter who moves a lot would be a nightmare for Clottey stylewise. This dude loves to wait until you're done punching before he lets his hands go. It would be a winnable fight for Khan but Clottey campaigns at 154 and is with Top Rank so forget about it.
Oh yeah, lets put a guy coming off a KO loss to a 140lber in against a high-risk, hard hitting welterweight with an iron chin in his very first fight at 147.
Clottey is a left hooker.....Khan should stay away from those dudes until he's had a few fights with his new trainer....with Roach, he'll always have problems with left hookers....Roach doesn't know what defense is...ALL of his fighters are known for their offensive abilities

I wouldn't say he doesn't know what defense is because Pacquiao's D has certainly improved over the years.
I even think Khan improved as a defensive fighter once he became apart of Roach's team. Earlier in his career, he would get caught all the time but with Roach he did a far better job keeping his chin tucked in, keeping his gloves up and moving around the ring effectively.
What happened in his last fight was he got trigger happy and Garcia was able to time him coming in.
I do agree with you somewhat though, Roach's fighters offensive skills always outweigh their defensive skills.
Clottey is underated for me, IMO, he walks down to Khan and KOs him. cotto can't even handle clottey easily, i know there's a cut, but clottey is durable, big, and would pressure khan better than peterson did. not a good fight for khan, he should stay at 140, since he's still small and lot to prove in there. if he against garcia, it would've interest me. yes im still interested with this but I know, clottey would win and its a bad move for khan..
