Amir Khan vs Carlos Molina [POST FIGHT TALK]

The fighter has to also remember the he’s the boss, what he says goes. Never feel threatened by the manager saying this or that. You can go out and get any manager you want to. Never be under the thumb or think you work for the manager or promoter, they work for you – don’t let anyone pull you down or control you. I’ve kept my family around me and people I trust. You need someone who will be there for you and maximize your potential. I have made a lot of money. I am only 25 and I don’t think any 25-year-old has made what I’ve made, but that’s because I’ve been managed right and am the boss.

He's just digging an even bigger hole for himself... he's just fooling himself.

Is Freddie Roach Pushing for a Manny Pacquiao vs. Amir Khan Fight?

Is Freddie Roach trying to set up a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan? A few months ago, this bout would have been completely and totally out of the question. After everything that’s transpired since June, though, seeing these two friends and former training partners square off doesn’t sound like the strangest thing in the world.

Coming off his recent loss to Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao has visibly struggled to find an opponent that he a.) deems worthy and b.) believes can generate a substantial amount of pay-per-view buys. In theory, even with all of his recent struggles, Khan fits the bill in both regards.

Well, scratch that – maybe not both. He can definitely sell pay-per-views, however, in the aftermath of him getting knocked out by Danny Garcia, it’s questionable whether or not Khan is still the top-tier boxer we thought he was just a year ago.

Either way, according to The Moment, Roach is apparently pushing for his two fighters to eventually get in the ring together. Per the report:

AMIR Khan's trainer, Freddie Roach is pushing for the boxer to step up from the light welter-weight division to take on Manny Pacquiao.

...

Roach now wants Khan to move up to 147lbs where he can take on stable-mate and good friend Pacquiao.

Khan has previously said he would not fight his friend Pacman, but has since had a change of heart.

"Fighting at 147 would suit me better. I'd be stronger, more powerful at welterweight," he said.

A few things about this report:

1. The Moment refers to itself as Nigeria’s Most Independent Newspaper. Make of that what you will.

2. In the past, Roach stated repeatedly that he didn’t want to see Pacquiao and Khan fight one another because he didn’t want to have to pick a side. (Although he did later admit that he’d pick Manny’s.) Weird that he would suddenly change his mind about that.

3. Can Khan, given his last two performances, really make the case that he deserves a shot at Pacquiao? Hint: No.

4. Pacquiao is planning to fight Timothy Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez or Miguel Cotto in November/December, and then Floyd Mayweather Jr. in April or May – when would he even take on Khan?

So, yeah – not buying this rumor. It kind of, sort of makes sense in theory that Roach and Pacquiao would want more options for future opponents, but nothing about Khan’s recent record justifies him being one of those future opponents.

The Khan of 12 months ago? Sure. The one we saw against Garcia? No way.

Was talking to Alex Ariza and he did mention that he doesn't have a problem with Amir; it's up to him whether or not he wants him as his S&C coach for the December bout..

 

- on an all veggie diet that Tabares had him on, much less likely to recover from a shot. as we all saw.

- Alex Ariza is the reason why Manny was better at higher weights which is why he wont leave him.

 

Fitness had nothing to do with Khan getting knocked out that night. Garcia was the most predictable fighter Khan has ever faced. He kept throwing the same exact punches. Khan did the really dumb thing in making it a fight. He should have coasted to an easy win with staying outside.
Only thing went through my head after that fight, "They are who we thought they were! And we let them off the hook" Dennis Green. Khan and Freddie Roach had Garcia figured out. But Khan threw away 12weeks of training because he wanted to please the fans. To hell with that you gotta fight to win even if people dont like the way you do it. Thats why Mayweather's the best of our era (after RJJ).

 

I just find Jim Watts voice annoying as hell... have to mute the commentary when watching a Sky Sports televised fight...

Same here...

Pepper Roach saying Amir is gonna leave Freddie and go to Emmauel Stewart. He thinks it's a bad idea. Ellie cuts the clip halfway...

i dont even like freddy roach but khan doesnt need a new trainer. he needs to listen to the ****ing instructions and stop thinking he's something he's not. freddy told him to box and move and never stay there, but khan chose to stand and fight like he's ****ing roberto duran. khans got ideas above his station and needs to stop being so arrogant. guys with his chin and his style should stick to defence and boxing from the outside.

I really like the guy who train COTTO right now
