    "Laundry list" of basically 2 reasons which are that he doesn't get enough time from Roach and that Roach is physically unable to cope with so many fighters now due to his illness. Both legitimate points but people like to take hidden messages from what Khan says.

    I remember Hatton left his old trainer Billy Graham because he was physically breaking down and most people didn't bat an eyelid but because Roach has Parkinsons, its like some elephant in the room that no one can talk about.

      Amir Khan ‏@AmirKingKhan

      Hey guys I didn't say @FreddieRoach is a bad trainer, he's 1 of the best out there and took my career to a high winning 2 world titles.

      Amir Khan ‏@AmirKingKhan

      I blame myself for the losses in my career. Not blaming @FreddieRoach or anyone. I just needed a change.

        1) Khan claims he needs 100% attention... so he goes to the guy who gives 100% attention to Andre Ward who is like a son to him... numbers don't add up. Somehow Khan is coming up well short of 100% attention either way.

        2) Physically unable to cope - Well only in the opinion of Amir Khan. Doesn't seem to be an issue for any of his other fighters. You're making this assumption as if you are some kind of expert who watches Roach on a day to day basis. In reality your lips are attached to Amir's asscrack and you believe everything he says to be gospel truth regardless of how ******, useless or pointless his comments are (they're usually all 3).

        Amir Khan is, and always will be, a loudmouth **** who thinks he is special. Just like Audley Harrison, no matter how many times he gets knocked out and looks like a silly fruitcake prancing around the ring on jello legs, Khan will go on thinking he is the best and deserves better.

        Freddie Roach deserves better fighters than Amir Khan, it's not the other way around.

          1) Not so much an issue with Ward. Ward will probably be training for fights at different times - Ward probably wont have a fight lined up until after Khan's fight in December. Ward is always in the same place. Khan wont have to go to the Phillipines or wherever. He'll get more attention from Hunter.

          2) No Im not an expert but neither are you and Khan's the one who has trained with him on a daily basis. I don't need to believe Khan to know that Roach has a debilitating disease that will make it difficult for him to train so many fighters as he gets older. Its just simple logic.

          You don't like Amir Khan because of his ethnicity. You openly admit that. So I guess Im just as ****** for responding to you.

          I always console myself reading your angry, butthurt posts about Khan by the fact that you look like someone from Right Said Fred. And you're from Hungary and hero worship Zsolt Erdei - the most epic bum beater and ducker of the modern era. It really does give me a chuckle when you criticise other fighters.

                    I think Khan's brain cells are deteriorating much faster than Freddie’s Parkinson’s disease, just look at the comments he's making the past few days.

                    Hope he gets KO'ed again and it might help him slow down his brain cells from disappearing all together.

                      Probably... probably.. probably.... not an expert. Exactly as I pointed out, you don't know what you are talking about.

                      As for Khan, my dislike has nothing to do with his ethnicity and everything to do with the fact that he is an ignorant and arrogant assh0le (just like you).

                      You on the other hand, only like him because he is British. If he was French you would trash him worse than I do. I judge him on his words and actions. You excuse his words and actions just because he lives in the same country as you.
