Comments Thread For: Roach Advises Khan To Rest, Rethink His Demand For Pacquiao

[Bronx2245]

kinda like how chino, canelo = slow puncher right?

so rios is a fighter with name recognition? thats good to know then.

same trainer doesnt mean they cant fight and the way khan got slept against canelo, hunter might be getting the boot. berto is a perfect tune up for khan, easy, low risk, and plus berto just got done fighting floyd, so berto's name still rings a bell when mention.

Please, don't ever again put Brandon Rios in the same sentence as Chino Maidana and Canelo Alvarez! Nowhere near the same level of fighter! Berto vs. Khan is not happening! Maybe Khan vs. Peterson II?

you like to reach much? i said "slow puncher". the rest is u reaching.

Rios is a slow puncher, which is why Pacquiao chose him after a brutal KO. Did you see Rios vs. Bradley? How many KOs does Rios have @ 147? Khan vs. Berto would be good if they weren't trained by the same trainer! Khan needs a decent fighter with name recognition, but one in which he would be heavily favored.

i've seen u in the past call for fighters of the same trainer to face eachother so dont use this as an excuse now.

Well when I call Rios a slow puncher, and you say "kinda like Chino...Canelo..." it seems like you're making a comparison (a bad one at that) between Rios, Maidana, and Canelo. If you weren't then I don't understand the point you were making. At any rate, we won't see Khan vs. Berto since Hunter trains them both. And we won't see Khan vs. Pacquiao either. I think it will be someone NOT ranked in the Top 10 at 147, and I think that's a smart move!

Well let me be clear, Rios is not only a good choice because he's a slow puncher, he's an over-hyped C+ fighter that people still think is dangerous. Look at how everyone thought Bradley had been "re-invented," because he KO'd Rios from a body shot. Maybe if Khan beats him (even without a KO) maybe they'll say "Look Amir Khan is back in business!"

Everyone has known for years that Bradley is a skilled boxer and could fight on the move while using his feet for defense. In fact it was never more evident or on display better then when he beat Juan Manuel Marquez two years ago. Because Bradley respected Marquez's ability to counter-punch so efficiently, he relied on his hand and foot speed to get in and out while scoring and not being lured into trading and exchanging with the more accurate and sharper punching Marquez.

During the bout with Rios Saturday night, Bradley boxed as well or even better than he did against Marquez. He jabbed beautifully and set up his finishing hooks and crosses with almost surgical precision. And during those occasions when he was tempted to fight it out and go to war with Rios, he broke off the exchange and prevented Brandon from using his 15 pound post weigh-in advantage. But in all honesty, Rios was lethargic from the rapid weight gain and was always vulnerable to being out-boxed by fighters who didn't fight him as if their feet were cemented to the ring canvas. Brandon has always been easy to hit, so if you didn't stand there and wait for a receipt after hitting him with two and three punch combos, you could more often than not get away unscathed, and that's exactly how Bradley fought him.

I think Bradley looked terrific in taking apart a shop-worn, tailor-made stylistically Rios. I also don't think Teddy Atlas and his rules of no cell phones or music at training camp had a damn thing to do with it. If Bradley is in shape, he can fall out of bed every day of the week and twice on Sunday and still out-think and out-maneuver Brandon Rios.

bradley fought manny right after rios... he fought manny!!! bradley will always have problems with pac. rios is slow but a heavy puncher, thats not someone khan wants to get in with seeing how he just got sparked out. khan does not fight like manny. khan does not use his foot work to move out of the way. khan needs to fight guys like berto, someone who will not be able to hurt khan.
