Khan holds too much to get Pacquiao fight, says Roach

Well, I guess you can scratch Amir Khan***8217;s name off the list as a potential candidate for Manny Pacquiao***8217;s next fight in November, because Pac***8217;s trainer Freddie Roach says he doesn***8217;t want to put the boxing fans through the ordeal of having to watch Khan holding 24/7 in a Pacquiao-Khan fight.

Roach, who previously trained Khan in the past, likes his hand speed and his combination punching. But he thinks that Khan***8217;s new style of fighting in which he***8217;s constantly holding his opponents would be off putting for the fans if they were dump their good clean cash on a Pacquiao vs. Khan fight.


I mean, I can***8217;t say I blame Roach for not being excited at the thought of Khan winding up as Pacquiao***8217;s next opponent, because just imagining the picture in my mind of Khan having to be surgically separated from Pacquiao 10-15 times per round by the referee is just too unbearable to even consider. If it was a useless referee with a Laissez-faire attitude working a Khan-Pacquiao fight, then the little 5***8217;6***8221; Pacquiao would be helpless for 12 rounds.

It would be like him wrestling a giant octopus on land, and I don***8217;t think Pacquiao would come out of the battle looking glorious.

***8220;If you***8217;re going to cross over, cross over and get me something exciting. Someone who***8217;s going to make a good fight, that***8217;s what Manny wants,***8221; Roach said. ***8220;He [Khan] throws combinations and holds now, it***8217;s so boring. It***8217;s smart but not fun to watch. I don***8217;t want to stink the place out. Danny Garcia wouldn***8217;t do that, Garcia would fight back.***8221;

Roach badly wants to get the slower, less grabbing Danny Garcia for Pacquiao to fight, and I can see he would want that fight, especially after how Garcia was given what many fans saw as a gift decision in his last fight against Mauricio Herrera last March. Garcia won the fight, but he pretty much lost it because Herrera was clearly the better fighter than him. Roach obviously saw what other people saw in watching Garcia get dominated and thoroughly frustrated by Herrera.

holding= defense

come on man, he's saying khan is too cautious and compares him to wlad

roach rather fight someone who gives pac more openings, and someone who brawls..the old khan

if khan was using his brains he wouldnt be doing the bambi dance now would he? LOL!!! funny how u were trying to make it seem like roach was saying khan is too good for manny until i prove u wrong LOL!! so roach rather pac fight someone wreckless like danny garcia right? u know the guy that made khan do the bambi dance? LOL

[Dirk Diggler UK]

weird cuz i've never heard roach said he didnt want the fight then.

It's been quoted in this thread. Roach would know more than most considering he's seen them spar together numerous times. Must be why he didn't want it.

he's talkin about khan under hunter, not the big balls wreckless khan who was under him

this version of khan is more smart, thats what roach is saying..smart boxers make for more of a challenge and less fun to watch

roach rather pac have a easier night and look good at the same time and make loads of money...all trainers want that when u reach elite level...i dont blame him
