Khan needs to ditch Freddie if he's ever going to make a solid comeback.

    He needs a trainer that can teach him a thing or two about defense. Freddie offers **** constructive advise in the corner as well.. atleast from what I've noticed.

    Khan - Mayweather sr/Steward?

    Although there would be a huge language barrier, Khan and Pedro Diaz would also be great imo.

    He won't leave Freddie Roach. And just because Steward has done well with Wladimir, doesn't mean he'll do well with Khan because, let's be honest, Wladimir is 6'7 and a giant heavyweight, whereas Khan is 5'10 and in a division where fighters aren't much smaller than himself.

    U can't train a glass chin to become granite.
    KHAN WAS TRYING TO BE GREAT but got caught in an exchange that's all. It happens in boxing unless you fight like Floyd & even he almost got ko by Mosley during guess what? An exchange. Floyd has great defense but lets be real not really fan friendly aka boring. Good for him bad for the sport kudos to khan for going out like a warrior! Bad for him great for us!

    Pedro diaz is the best trainer out there right now in my book, but yeah - the language barrier might be a bit much....

    Right now Khan needs to work on his defense for the most part, and I'm thinkin Mayweather Sr. might be able to help him out the most there....

    He would offer comedy gold corner advice as well! I'm all for it.

    Its a shame because kahn was handing out a master class till he got tagged, the boy has amzing skills and speed.. And i tend to agree, freddie is not the guy for him at this stage in his career if he intends to come back, and i think he should because he will be a world champ again. To much **** is thrown at kahn, but damn he is a good fighter and exciting to watch and i feel gutted a very one dimensional fighter lime garcia beat him.
    But thats boxing, caught with a wild hook and it was all down hill from there.

    Yep, I would also like to invite Buddy McGirt to the party.

    He should have been in Khan's corner to give him the proper amount of water (, baby) after Khan was first knocked down. It would be actually interesting to see what happens earlier: Khan's chin letting him down again OR McGirt pulling the plug in fear that it might HAPPEN.

    Khan needs a defensively focused coach. Maybe the Floyd Sr or Roger, although I'm not sure if he's got the natural boxing sense to pull off their style

    If Khan moves up in weight he will be knocked out by most of the contenders. Best option is to just fight Timid Timmy, Lil' Paulie, or Kell ''Lisp'' Brook.

    Android Berto would ko him.

    Randall Bailey has a chance to ko him, and he's limited.

    Josesito Lopez would ko him at 147, and probably at 140.

    Devon Alexander has a chance to ko him.

    Victor Ortiz in the right frame of mind would ko him.

    So where does he go from here. Dancing on Ice?

    He is exciting - but that because of his '****ed up' DNA - He has poor Ring IQ and Big Balls + shaky chin = exciting brawls

    Regarding his coach, it wont make a bit of differance for him whether he has the best or worst coach out there. He's doing the same **** he's been doing since ameteurs.

    He doesnt have the ability to 1. stick to coaches gameplan 2. adjust gameplan even if he did stick to it.

    As for dominating and putting on a masterclass, then no -that is not true. Garcia was setting up his punch and getting to time Khan coming in. It weren't a lucky punch... hear Malignaggi on british radio commentary - he said that's what fighters do when they are trying to time an opponent coming in... Tuck your chin in and time him by punching with him as he comes in range.

    Khan needs to start getting Roach to negotiate some catchweights against some past prime guys for him is what Khan needs
