Amir Khan hints at split with trainer Freddie Roach....Opinions?

He blamed his trainer last time and **** all changed other than more careful matchmaking.

Khan is incapable of learning, so changing trainer will make no difference.

 

Wouldn't really say more careful matchmaking. He wouldn't have fought maidana or garcia otherwise.

Anyway, I think he just needs to learn some d. He doesn't have the strongest of chins and it's made worse that his non-existant defence allows him to be hit with big shots consistantly.

 

Maidana was almost made for him, limited skills, small, decent power but not devastating.

Garcia was expected to be much the same, but they misjudged him.

 

Dear God, please be true. Reinstate Alex ariza and go to Emmanuel Steward and become a defensive counter puncher. **** getting into brawls for the ''fans''. The same ''fans'' who say he should be exciting and not bore us with the kangaroo style and 1,2s are the same ones who hate him and mercilessly attack him after he loses.

Hopefully the balls he has in the ring translates to balls in telling Roach and tabares he must part ways and apologising to Ariza

 

Agree with reinstating Ariza. I think Steward would be a good choice esp in making Amir fight tall and using his advantages. I also think Floyd Snr would be a good shout to sort out his defence, but I doubt they would be able to maintain a working relationship.

 

He definitely needs to find someone to help protect that chin. Not really Freddy's style at all. At the same time, Khan may totally have to change his style to one that may not effectively suit his talents.

 

Khan's biggest problem is Asif Vali.

The guy is completely focused on money money money. Every decision is centrerd around making money and he knows how to bend Khan's ear. Instead of being called his manager he should be know as his financial adviser who-doesnt-have-a-****ing clue-about-boxing.

Infact, wasnt he the one who snraked into Ariza's room and stole documents to try and poach fighters for a fee?

He has too much sway in the camp.

Think of the little toad as someone who was a falseclaim.com/ insurance fraud pioneer who struck it lucky with Khan.

 

Infact this is how great Vali is.....

4 fights

4 different trainers for Khan

Oliver Harrison
Dean Powell
Jorge Rubio
Freddie Roach

Instead of looking and ammending Khan, they change everything and **** everyone around them.

 

This is what I think

the thing i find funny about khan is he is known for having a bad chin and not being a power puncher so why in the name of god did he think he could go toe to toe with a fighter with such a good ko rating like garcia in my opinion he just wont listen to anyone cuz he thinks he knows best even in the beyond the ropes when u seen him sparring he was getting caught by a guy they said had no pro fights and saying the the trainer after "i didnt want it to look boring" better to win a boring fight then to loose any fight

 

exactly:good 2 great trainers and 2 very good trainers and its all thier fault,vali knows as much about boxing as schafer does :nut

 

He should get rid of his 'money team' (greedy little ***** Asif Vali) and his Yes Men team and things will fall into place.

He hasn't learned a damn thing. He is too thick and tries to please too many people. Expect the same Khan in the next fight and another wipeout very soon.

 

I think he may go with Floyd Mayweather Sr to strike a fight up with Mayweather Jr but then if the fight happen Mayweather Sr wont train him and Khan knows he cant beat Mayweather so it doesn't really matter who his trainer is because they all get a payday at the end.

 

surprised noone has mentioned roger mayweather. I know this will mess up a fight with mayweather in the future but he may as well forget about that now. Roger in his corner and sparring with mayweather would help him i think

 

Same old Kahn, always looking to blame someone else for defeat, stand up and be a man and take it like everyone else does, Freddie can only do so much with Kahn he can't train a chin and imo thats what let kahn down nothing to do with Roach looks like Kahns looking to pass the blame yet again.
