"People are talking about Khan as if he was 30 years old.............FFS he is only 22 and still learning why not take a look at Mannys record and boxing style when he was Khans age!!! There was no p4p king in the making when Pac was 22.He had been KO`d twice................Pac would be written off as a crude chinny slugger who cant take a decent shot. I am not saying Khan is going to be a great but I will give him a chance rather than write him off at 22. Khan has a great attitude to boxing, he is willing to work hard to improve the weaknesses in his game." Great post and I agree. Khan has a ton of potential, no doubt. He usually beats Pac in sparring sessions and he has faster hands then pac or anyone else in boxing right now. I just seriously question his chin. However remember, when Roach started training Pac in 2001 all he was, was a left hand, now he is a complete fighter. I think Khan is more talented then Pac was when Freddie first started working with Pac so the kid can potentially do great things. Hopefully Parkinsons doesnt KO Freddie anytime soon so he can improve Khan.
Amir Khan, had it not been for his chin, would be a storm through the boxing world. As it stands now we're just waiting for another really bad knockout.
You're basically saying Pacquiao and Roach are wrong and that Roach is wasting his time on the guy. No offence I'll take Roach's judgement over yours. Roach is willing to give Khan something you're not, a chance.

Prescott did wobble him with a jab earlier in the fight. Nas was quite a clown, but he could take a punch. Amir -- not so much. :rofl
