Comments Thread For: Khan Says Roach's Illness Was Partial Reason For Split

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Khan has good boxing skills, good speed & power & with good conditioning he deos very well, but his chin is NOT good & that's his only problem & NO ONE(no matter who trains with) could fix that!! The 2 times he's gotten KO'd he's changed trainers like if it was their fault his chin couldn't withstand the shot it received..Someone needs to explain to Khan that fighters with "granite" chins are born that way, not made or molded later on.. No matter what exercise or what treatment he does for his chin, it's gonna stay "glass"& will not transform into "granite".. Just ask Terry Norris, Julian Jackson, Tommy Hearns or Frank Bruno.. He just needs to avoid as much as he can to get hit on the chin(with a good solid shot) or he could learn to tuck it in just like Bernard Hopkins does.. Hopkins himself says that's his secret & that a lot of people think his chin is granite & Hopkins himself said it's not, but he just doesn't leave it hanging out to get tagged & always keeps it tucked in & that was one of the first things the oldtimers taut him..

Yeah and that's why Khan has gone to a more defensive minded trainer. Roach is still a good trainer but only for certain styles of fighters.

Can't Khan ever just shut the hell up???

Why can't Khan keep his mouth shut?? Maybe when the English brit by way of the middle east big mouth wins a fight again and then maybe ever get a belt back then speak out. Till then Khan shut the hell up.

Amir khan doesnt need freddy roach as long as he keeps going the limey route drudging up no named south american midgets. Is khan fighting the same guy that kell brook just fought? they should have just had both of them kick the same guys ass on the same card, and save everybody the bother.

In the past he has claimed he went to Freddie to improve his defense. The fact is he can't fight, never has been able to fight and never will be able to fight. It doesn't get any simpler.

He can fight very well. He has beaten some good fighters. The guy in your avatar got embarrassingly KOed 3 times only to change trainers and redefine his career so I don't know why you're suddenly acting like Khan is the first guy to change trainers.

Khanis in no way comparable to Wladimir. If you can't see why then you clearly are clueless.

Yes he's only been knocked out twice whilst Wladimir was knocked out 3 times.

Seems like you're trapped in a web of your own double standards.

Khan unfortunately still lacks the maturity to take responsibility for his own failings.That, rather than any perceived shortcomings of his trainers, has been the major detriment of his career.

That said, at no point in this article does he say that Roach's illness was a partial reason for the split. Edward Chaykovsky says that, not Khan. Now at a stretch, we could infer that from his answer, but not without knowing what question he was replying to.

The reply gives the impression that he's been asked a leading question; allowed himself to be led, and then retracted when he realised where his answer was going. Khan isn't responsible for the sensationalist headline. Nor is he responsible for irresponsible journalism.
