    Amir khan should beg Freddie roach to take him back

    Khan needs to get rid of hunter for the new year , rewatched khan algeiri and he clearly regressed and didn't look comfortable fighting his new style at 140 algeiri it would have been an easy night.

    Not sure if that would ever happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if Roach just turned Khan down and told him to **** off.

    Khan pretty much blamed Roach and his parkinson's disease for losing.

      He has to blame anyone but himself for his losses to Peterson and Garcia so he blames Roach.

        he did say some things to piss roach off but im sure roach would take him back in a heartbeat if khan apologised and that's what he needs to do , he's fighting totally the wrong style with hunter

          So the general consensus was Khan was too reckless and weak defensively.

          So he drops Roach and hires the Zen master of defensive whispering Hunter.

          Now, Khan is too defensive all of a sudden?

          Could it actually be that Khan is actually not as good a fighter as he keeps telling everyone?

          Boxers who constantly change trainers when their results start to slip are usually just trying to cover the fact they are limited or have real flaws.

          Khan is limited at 147 and above.

            Khan still looked good under roach and won most of his rounds under him, he is always going to be vunerable defensively but hunter is taking things out of khans game rather than adding. Algeiri should have been an easy nights work and khan looked his worst ever

              LOL. Roach is good for a certain type of fighter. But not for others. Hunter is far superior overall.

              Did Algieri win or did I forget something? Khan beat him comfortably. Not bad against an ex champ in his prime with only one loss to Pac. Khan has beatn an insane amount of ex champs.

              I wonder, can anybody other than Pac and Khan even beat Algieri at WW? I think Algieri would beat almost every welter on the planet, including Bradley.

                Blame everyone, but the fighter. Khan knows what it is. It's on him to keep his hands up in the middle of his 8 punch combinations.

                And I would be extremely surprised if Roach took him back. Khan complained a ton about him saying he never had enough time for him(Which everyone knows Roach trains a ton of fighters), and having to travel to the Philippines to get time with him(As if Roach would drop Pacquiao for his bum ass). IIRC subtly complained about his failing health as well being a factor in him losing.

                  Khan blamed Roach for his loses to Peterson and Garcia.

                  If he'd had stuck with Roach in the first place he may have been able to rebuild his career post Garcia.

                  Instead his ego got the better of him and he dropped Roach for Hunter.

                  I think the problem was twofold...the change of trainer AND the step up to 147.

                  Khan (as usual) believed his own hype and got exposed.
