    He should change his chin first.

    Amir Khan needs to be patient like one of them people who will use use a jab for 2 minutes of a round then throw combos randomly, u cant just throw combos every 5 seconds of every round and expect it work no matter how fast you are

    He needs to use reach more. Thats what helped wladmir and Lewis, two people with weak chins but became tremendous fighters. He can too, once he perfects his defence. Floyd senior would be ideal for him, not sure about their personalities though.

    I agree, I think though Khan's weakness is not physical, skill or talent. I think mentally under pressure he folds, he does not handle a pressure come forward fighter well, and mentally just collapses.

    He has been considered more technically skilled than most fighters, but even in the Maidana fight look at what happened in the 10?

    He needs a trainer that can teach him and prepare him how not to fold.

    Lmao

    Khan needs to understand he can kick people's asses just by keeping it at range.

    Right now he is faster and has better stamina than an ageing Pacquiao

    Roach trained Pac and got him to be one of the best - he didn't add much to pac.. just gave him a gameplan and taught him how to use his abilities.

    Khan needs to accept his lack of power and punch resistance limits his maximum potential

    Roach knows this.

    stick with roach keep to your gameplan

    that is all you have to do son

    'Coming into this fight you will see I new amir Khan'

    enough bull****. How can you become the best when you can't accept your own fighting style?

    Khan needs patience.

    Amir's issue is he isn't no GREAT outside fighter. He's seen by some as a master outboxer just because his best punch is a jab and is fast.

    Long distance has been compromised for him on multiple occassions: Rene, PEDerson, and recently DANI.

    I mean even Dani was outjabbing him.

    Not Dani.

    He got impatient with him and started doing stupid ****

    could have jabbed his way to a victory if he wanted

    Just felt like he had so much pressure to put on a show ..wanted the KO

    right hand uppercut from range followed from a jab
    lmao

    Khan must have nightmares about that move. Terrible mistake.

    Steward would reinforce discipline into him imo. Improving composure is key for Amir.

    The only style he can fight is box on the outside and hold on the inside. Got no chin and cant fight on the inside.
