'Amir reminds me a lot of Manny Pacquiao' says Roach

they do look very similer

 

By some peoples logic here if Barrera beats Khan then Barrera is atleast 50% of what he was. If Khan beats Barrera then Barrera has nothing left and a victory for Khan is not a measure of his progress. So in other words, no credit for Khan either way.

 

But if Khan stop MAB inside 4 or 5 rounds in brutal fashion, then we can at least give credit!

 

That's boxing...

 

Its a tough one :yep

 

Any win over Barrera deserves credit.

 

Depends how much Barrera has left. You don;t give Grover Wiley credit for his win over JCC or Joppy credit for his win over Duran.

 

I reckon this is gonna be a easy fight for Amir Khan.

 

not a chance would khan beat the barrera of a couple of years ago,no way would khan beat the barrera who beat hamed,not a chance.(even if barrera was still feather)
so if khan beats barrera,he dus not deserve to much credit,only off people who know **** all.
still,i can't see khan beating a 50% barrera,im even hoping to go if my mate pulls his finger out and gets tickets

 

More like boxing fans!

 

:think

Brendan Ingle reckons his postman is the next Naz.

 

Because that's what promoters/trainers do. They hype there guy, it's natural. You're not going to here any trainer say 'this guy I train is absolutely useless and he's got a glass chin'. That's just not going to happen.

Roach knows Manny won't care if he says Khan is faster so he is giving Khan some confidence by saying that and re-hyping him (after the loss).
