    I also think some of Khan hanger's like Saj(get a job you bum) gas his head and hype him up too much, its a mind set thing vs Peterson Khan came out like I am going KO this guy in 2 rounds, he needs to keep it cool and fight to a gameplan.

    Gotta remember lads old habits die hard, Khan may never truly adapt to demands of what Roach and fans want.

    Exactly my point. Can't see a big turnaround now, he's at the pinnacle of his output now IMO.

    I actually think Khan should be called "The Bolton Wanderer Cobra"

    You're just wrong - a simple look at how Hearns moves tells you there is no similarity between the two. It's not just how well they execute, it's the actual way both men fight.

    Seriously, go and watch Hearns-Leonard I and see how Tommy moves around the ring. Khan is completely different.

    Plus Tommy actually knew how to punch properly in combination.

    Anyone think Khan would be better changing coaches?
    I could hardly understand a word Roach said last night on the new Fight Night show. Sad to say and see but the Parkinson's disease has progressed quickly the last 6 months. I don't think he has looked good in the corner the last few times I've seen him

    I said this around the fight time when Roach spoke to him in corner i couldn't understand it but tbh with Khan i don't think it really matters if it's Roach or Stephen Hawking the kid wouldn't listen anyways.

    I'm thinking someone like Teddy Atlas might be able to get the message to him. Apart from telling Khan to throw straight 1-2s, I didn't see Roach telling him anything of note. I mean it had broken to a brawl against Peterson and his corner certainly were firing their man up for it.
