    Now that Amir Khan has parted ways with Freddie Roach leaving
    some unpleasant remarks that has made Freddie mad.

    “I wanted him(Pac) to fight the guy Garcia, Danny Garcia,” Roach revealed. “I wanted that fight because Amir Khan says that I don’t teach defense to him and Manny Pacquiao. Why did he compare himself to Manny Pacquiao? It depends what I taught him. Let’s see what Manny does with your last opponent. Manny wouldn’t lose a round.”

    Roach sounds pissed. Khan is the professional here, he realized maybe just in time what he needs is a defensive minded coach.

    Is his choice revealed?

    true dat too. Mannys defense is very underrated for an offensive fighter.

    Seems a daft comment from Roach to me. If Pacquiao had the same chin Khan has he would have been knocked out about 10 times. His defence isn't much better than Khan's he just has an elite chin and a much more varied attack.

    Khan is a little *****. Good luck finding a trainer that can teach chin.

    khans quotes have come across as very disrespectful. They could have been mis quoted or tken out of context, but then again, so could this one.

    Khans defense is pretty poor, but thats not the problem. He got dropped from the 1st clean shot garcia landed.

    Once Manny retires in 1-2 years who does Freddie have?

    Lack of class from Roach if he's letting the vitriol flow now. Just highlights how much bull**** he peddles for the benefit of the guys he trains.

    Roach told him what to do when hurt, move and hold, Khan did not listen, went out, tried to slug, and got ko'd. Blaming Roach is not going to help. Roach helped Khan overachieve, it will be downhill from here. I think he gets new promotor, or easier matches, builds up to money fight, losses again. and again, and again.... He's been bitching about Roach since the loss, freddie is better off with him gone.

    I dont know where Roach is going with this, Hes being unprofessional. As much as I like Khan and He seems to be a nice kid, Ive just not seen a chin like his in Boxing for quite a while. Only thing I can compare are MMA fighters named Melvin Guillard and Brendan Schwab and they use small gloves in MMA.

    Yet this is from Khan's twitter: "Officially iv left freddie roach. Just spoke to him and had a good professional chat and maybe in the future we work together.

    "Freddie understood why I'm looking at other trainers and wished me all the best for the future. Who do. My followers think I should go with?"

    He should go with William Stryker so He can inject his chin with Adamantium.

    See, I'm not sure why people keep saying he's got a terrible chin, when, if you look back at the 4th round of the Garcia fight, he took some tremendous shots and kept going. He was taking these shots on his chin! Yet, he got hit in a totally different place to his chin, so why people keep talking about his chin I don't understand. He has never been down from a shot to his chin at LWW.

    Because when you touch him a bit, He becomes discombobulated right away and the fight is lost. He cannot recover for ****. The guy can get wobbled in the first round and be still on unsteady legs in the 7th.
