    Is there a chance that we could see some sparring between the two fighters?

    "Style-wise I don't know if he is the best guy to prepare Pacquiao for this fight. But they will work together," said a doubtful Roach.

    As for when a final decision would be made Roach was unsure.

    "Hard to say. The thing is, I believe he needs to get back on that horse as soon as possible. Get some confidence back and take it from there."






    I'd like to see them spar... :D

    He has a better shot at winning at title at 140 then 135. The lightweight division is too deep for him. He better stay away from Oritz, Bradley, and Hatton though. :good

    This guy is just greedy.He was happy with Harrison as long as Harrison was getting peanuts.Harrison asked for a little of the money and Khan's family wasnt happy.The next thing Harrison was sent to Coventry and eliminated.

    The guy went to the USA.Roger showed him how much he had to learn,Khan wanted him as a trainer.The guy spoke to a few others,they told him how much they wanted.Stingy Khan wasnt happy.He wanted a cheap trainer,a trainer who could deliver but still being cheap.

    He found Rubio,Rubio just wanted this guy taught a lesson,that in life bargains dont just come,you get what you pay for.Rubio proved to be the most expensive trainer Khan ever had.Does Khan think trainers are Southwest Airlines or Rynair or something.

    Is Khan just greedy?

    I can see Amir having a VERY rude awakening when he realizes after working out with Pac that he still has a long way to go and how Pac and the other top LWs are still levels above him.

    Pac is gonna humble this guy.

    The guy behind Pac in your avatar would humble him and he's not even a LW.

    :good That's true as well.

    I'm not counting on Khan improving under Roach, but I can see him getting a little bit humbled after working out there.

    Is Roach gonna work for free since Khan has a reputation of not paying trainers?

    Khan getting clobbered in training would be a worthwhile sacrifice if he improves his game to the next levels. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I were in the same situation.
