Comments Thread For: Roach: Khan Was Terrible, He'll Never Get Mayweather

[MRCHOKEaMF]

Roach is still in his feelings cause Khan left him.

Since then he never has one good word to say about him.

Before that Khan was the second coming of SRR, according to Roach.

Amir Khan's trainer Freddie Roach is convinced that the Briton can defeat Floyd Mayweather Jnr after he "beat the s**t out of" Manny Pacquiao during sparring.

Roach, who oversees both Khan and Pacquiao, pitted the two against each other during one of Khan's training sessions ahead of his bout with Marcos Maidana.

According to Roach, Khan proved his pedigree at the highest level by dominating the man widely regarded to be the world's pound-for-pound king.

"Amir beat the s**t out of him for four rounds in the last session before we started easing off the training," Roach said. "Even Manny knows that and he said so."

Khan, who defends his WBA light-welterweight strap against Maidana at the weekend, is training his sights on a 2011 bout against Mayweather Jnr. Taking on the unbeaten American would mean a step up in weight - and quality - for Khan, but Roach has no doubts that the 24-year-old has what it takes to triumph.

"I used to think I had one fighter who could beat Mayweather - but now I think I have two," Roach said. "I am not a big fan of Mayweather - Amir and Manny have speed which he can't handle. If Mayweather won't fight Manny, maybe he'll fight Amir.

It would be hard to sell that fight after the Algeri performance. Especially after the way Pac blew through him.

Algieri did great. That kid has potential. I wish he could find a top trainer, he even had Kahn in ***** street a few times(although that doesn't says much considering Kahn's chin).

I think floyd will fight brook less money to pay for him but the UK fans will come over and support more then they do khan

Khan is terrible and not that good

Floyd might want an easy fight and Khan is an easy fight. beating an Arab close to 9-11 is a great revenge fight for all Americans. Seeing Khan battered and bloody would be great for the USA even hurt badly. Hope Floyd picks the ISIS backed Khan as Khan's fan base is America's enemy. God Bless the USA.

How? That was the worst Khan for a while and he still beat Algieri 8-4. He still won comfortably on his worst night, Garcia is garbage and would easily get beat by Khan. Maidana is a fat mess walking around at 200lbs, whilst mathysse is 140lber.

"The worst Khan for a while"

You mean since he fought Diaz which was 3 fights ago?

It was the same Khan he's always been. Except he fought someone physically bigger who put pressure on him and not a smaller stand off counter puncher like Devon.

We're going to act like Garcia hasn't already knocked him out huh? Exactly how many "off" nights is that now?
