    Amir claims he dropped manny 5 times in sparring.

    So Amir deserved a shot with floyd.

    Roach was saying Khan has a great chance against Floyd.

    Then it looked like he was going to be the opponent and Roach distanced himself from those statements, dismissing them in the interview I read.

    It will be interesting to see what Roach says about Floyd/Khan if Maidana becomes the actual opponent. Revert back to Khan being a boogie man? Keep with the recent notion that came to him that Khan doesn't stand a chance?

    The OP is making it sound as if Roach os having a go at khan, from the video its quite the contrary

    If Pacquiao wanted to seriously challenge Khan he would have literally killed him. Sparring is practice, nothing more.

    Khan would be the king in sparring , headgear , big gloves. I think he honestly makes everyone up to 160 look pretty average.

    However its sparring only and in the real fight Khan gets hammered.

    Diaz also had to meet Khan's catchweight requirement.

    Haven't ever heard him say that Khan can't stand a chance. He has always said that Khan has a good style matchup for Mayweather. When he is training him he won't point out his flaws, i.e. his lack of concentration, but now they are not associated he can voice his opinion properly.

    khan also claimed that angulo's and ward's punches can't crack his chin... in sparring and him at 147. khan claimed he got iron chin at 147.

    wow paq KD khan in sparring, NO phuking way. that mut mean paq found some serious serious power. first knock down since 2011 ? khan probably got up and schooled him. i bet my life khan would beat paq every session, he has everything over paq using headgear.

    probably says he has a better chin since both got hit with lucky punches. the far lighter lucky punch put paq in a coma while the vastly harder hitter only knocked khan down. needing many more clean shots to stop khan.

    i bet he thinks his chin is better. its close, never seen khan literally comatized while have seen paq dead 3 x. and both khans ko losses had been from so much harder punchers and never ended him with a single shot. logical and makes an argument. if paq had khans chin he would have the chance to possibly be a ATG. i might be reaching since he lacks so many important talents..

    maybe khan did ko him 5 x in sparring. i wouldnt be surprised. far harder hitter than jmm

    :patsch Khan having everything except chin over Pacquiao? Please.

    Khan is entirely predictable, if his game was well rounded he wouldn't have been on his ass as often as he has been even despite his chin. His problem is that his defence is poor, he gets reckless, makes childish mistakes and can't fight on the inside - that is why he gets tagged often.

    Even ignoring the chin, Pacquiao would destroy Khan as would Mayweather. Khan's issues go far beyond his vulnerable mandible.

    If Khan and Pacquiao fought, I am 100% certain that Pacquiao would Hattonize him within 3 rounds flat.

    Khan is a jelly jawed twitter legend.
