    dont think so personely, sparring with pacman is going to be a far bigger help to khan than whatever floyd can offer

    probably, Khan needs a more defensive coach than roach which floyd definetly is. Not sure if the whole shoulder roll carry on would suit Khan though.

    Wont make a blind bit of difference, at some point Khan will have to fight a top fighter and then we will see if hes the real deal. The only dangerous guy he's been in with, flattened him in 60 seconds. He's fought nobody of any class so far and for me hes an overhyped fraud.
    Far too much is made of 'great trainers', if Roach/Mayweather or even both of them at the same time was in Hatton's corner against Floyd it wouldnt make a blind bit of difference, Floyd would still win every round ..
    Khan has to prove he has the ability to compete at the top level before Roach or Mayweather can make 'subtle' adjustments

    I wud have preferred khan to be with PBFs dads. He is a great defensive master. Whilst roach will help him and tighten up a little bit os defence, wud have been better with mayweather snr.

    Roach makes fighters use their feet and head alot. Khan is now using the hit and move style. Mayweather Sr would teach Khan how to block more.

    Roach offers Khan top sparring in Pac alone. I don't think Sr can match that.

    Well of course, it obviously isn't going well for him being with Roach.

    That is laughable, Roach is continents ahead of Ugly Boy Floyd.
    Unquestionable.

    The question should be "Would Wicky Hatton have been better off with Freddie"?.
