Khan should be on his knees begging Freddie Roach to take him back

    He's going nowhere with Hunter, looked totally lost against Algeiri didnt know what style he was fighting. With a good chance of the Brook fight this year whoch will define his career he should be doing everything he can to get back with Roach and get back to the Amir Khan of old

    Khan is shot. Just be grateful you are going to see that chicken dance again soon.

    Khan using roaches style is the absolute worst partnership one could possibly come up with if he ever plans on fighting brook, Thurman v porter winner or loser.

    The only fighter that khan couldn't ever win in his dreams would be spense. They other 3 he has a legit shot with.

    He can, would and possibly get the opportunity to prove it by beating pac, for sure but TB might be a different fighter since becoming a fireman.

    Beating Rios, that really says zero, but the way he beat the sh!t out of him and making him quit was a little teaser or maybe a taste of things to come. April's stoppage of pac might tell us more. That depends on what excuse team pac comes up with. Wrong socks, shoes or gloves then TB loses all credit

    I know what your saying but he's not gelling or fighting the way hunter wants him too he needs to go back to himself because he's not buying into hunters methods. The way he's going he won't beat them three

    It doesn't matter whom is training him. He is what he is. He was showing some good signs against Collazo. Yes he held a lot, but he was looking more controlled and less sloppy in general. But once Chris Algieri of all people decided to try to turn into a pressure fighter, Khan struggled and resorted back to his bad habits and showed his weaknesses and limitations.

    Some fighters just resort back to their natural instincts, and you can only teach them so much. Khan is one of them.

    You could bring back the ghost of Eddie Futch or Ray Arcel to train him. They can't enter the ring and fight for him.

    Is it just me, or is Khan's 1-2 sloppy as hell?

    Everything Khan does besides the jab is sloppy.

    Khan's problems has nothing to do with his trainers. Roach didn't do shyt for neither. The man is what he is, you can't teach a good chin. You either have a good chin or you don't.

    Khan also lacks ring IQ.

    You know one thing I cannot understand is If all the insults about Amir Khan are true & he is that easy to best WHY didn't Mayeather fight him instead of that embaraaing facade with Berto ?? He'd have made a lot more $$$$$$ & earned a little respect instead of getting trashed.
    I think I know the answer? Maycheater always feared he couldnt beat Khan & be made to look a fool

    I see your point.

    To play devils advocate though, I think fighting Berto is just something Floyd wanted to do.

    Behind all of his talk of legacy and blah blah I think Floyd knows it wasn't a great fight but there was something about Andre he wanted to match himself with.

    It was no secret he wanted to fight him years ago. had Victor Ortiz not beaten Andre we would have seen them both fight early 2012.


    As for Amir Khan, I dont know about begging Freddie but he should be begging Kell Brook for a fight (although Kell would take the fight without begging) so he has a chance to prove himself as being a top relevant 147 boxer rather than waste his time chasing waterfalls with Pac and Floyd.
