Comments Thread For: Roach: Khan Can't Beat Mayweather, PPV Will Lose Money

[QballLobo]

I specifically remember Roach saying he had two fighters in his gym that can beat Floyd. He was referring to Pac and Khan.
Someone should show him that quote.

you got to realize he said that when it was thought maidana was gonna grab the poll so he and others could say he ducked khan lol remember even a few threads got made about mayweather ducking khan

when he had khan-he said he had 2 fighters who could beat floyd. Now that khan is with Virgil and may get the floyd fight-Freddie is singing a different tune. And the ppv won't sell.

Freddie would fit in well here on NSB with all of the other Manny mouthpieces that switch their tune/logic/reasoning depending on the discussion topic and the fighters are being discussed.

He said it again less than two weeks ago. It's hard to take him seriously when he flip flops with disingenuous comments:

"That's not an easy fight," said Roach. He went on and said that if Khan fights the correct fight, he can really shudder Mayweather. "I've always said Amir has the right style to beat Floyd if he fights correctly and doesn't stay in the pocket too long," Roach added.

The Hall of Fame trainer has high expectations that Khan's hand speed can upset the undefeated fighter. "I always thought he could beat him with his speed," said Roach. "I think he's faster than Mayweather and that's what it takes to beat him," he said. "Floyd might have his hands full on the night," Roach concluded.

It may do okay financially but not a blockbuster.

wasn't roach just saying khan could give him trouble?? and if khan was still under him you know damn well he'd be saying the same crap he was a couple yrs ago. "khan is too fast for Floyd" "Floyd has never boxed a fighter like khan" etc etc smh

Freddie said khan could beat floyd, now he is saying he can't. Just make up yor mind freddie, please and when/if the fight is made, please have a final opinion. thanks!!!

Precisely. Wasn't it just three weeks ago he was saying Khan has all the tools to upset Mayweather. No he's saying he can't win the fight? Which one is it Roach???
