Comments Thread For: Khan Does Not Blame Freddie Roach For Recent Defeats

[mannyman]

freddie roach is a **** coach..that guy has no idea about boxing..look at his fighters...pacquiao is supposed to be good but yet they haven't figured out how to beat JMM...what is it gonna be?? pacquiao vs JMM 94 soon lol...

khan..chavez jr and many others are proof that he lacks as a coach..very over rated..

How can you say he's a sh_t coach? He may have a particular coaching style which is based on offense but to say he's sh_t is just ******.

He basically made Pac what he is today and don't start chatting sh_t about how pac's floored, off balance blah blah blah. Not every boxer can have textbook technique.

khan talks way to much

[puga]

not directly but he does ... what annoyed me the most was when he compared himself to pacquiao...pac is far from one the best defensive fighters but he's pretty elusive for a very offensive fighter...he said" me and pacquaio have to do soemthing about defense" or something like that....no amir,you need to do something.. you dont see pacquaio waiting for a punch not moving his head like a god damn idiot..

No no no...pac made him not the other way around...if it wasn't for pac no one would be talking about him..or maybe you could tell me who else has he brought on a high level??

pac made roach..that's the truth.

Blame the chin. Blame the chin.

~BoZz~, Its cool if you don't like Roach but just say so... Roach had plenty of champions before Pacquiao... To deny him his due is kind of hattin'... Roach did get work with Pac and did great developing his right hand...

To the guy talking about defense.... LOL, most dynamic offensive fighters are not good defensive fighters... Mike Tyson said it best, in order to knock someone out, you have to be close enough to get knocked out yourself... If Manny focused on defense he would be a good defensive fighter... KOs sell tickets and is what a lot of fans want to see so, some fighters go for it... Other fighters choose to win and don't care about the KOs and choose to create a persona to make up for their lack of KOs.... It's kind of silly to give a guy negatives for taking risk and looking and going for the KO... How boring boxing would be if every fighter was either a defense first or a defensive specialist fighter????

AMIR KHAN has defended himself in the face of strong criticism for appearing to blame Freddie Roach’s Parkinson’s disease for his split from the trainer.

Former undisputed light-welterweight champion Khan and Roach parted company in the wake of his upset defeat by Danny Garcia in August and the 25-year-old has since appointed Virgil Hunter as his coach.

the only 2 conditions that have impaired khans career are

a) his verbal Diarrhoea
b) having **** for brains

roach's illness had nothing to do with it

[rckdees]

i think freddie roach is very overrated, but for this clown to blame his loses on the man's disease and try to retract once he started taking another beating in the court of public opinion shows this clown's true character.....truly pathetic.

Khan needs media training, his PR team in damage control.

This. ^^^

No no no...pac made him not the other way around...if it wasn't for pac no one would be talking about him..or maybe you could tell me who else has he brought on a high level??

pac made roach..that's the truth.

Roach was a coach with a name long before Pacquiao became "Fighter of the Decade" thanks to James Toney.

Critiquing Freddy's coaching ability in a negative light is just laughable. Go to LA and visit The Wildcard and watch the man in action....your face would turn red with embarrassment for making such dumb statements. Maybe you just don't like him?....or maybe your'e not too experienced where Boxing training is concerned? I really don't know or care but the reality is - Freddy is a legend and he will go down in boxing history as one of the greats whether YOU like it or not.
As for Kahn? The guy is just plain ******. Nothing more to say.
