    Khan To Get: Roach, Nazim Richardson and Ariza Trio
    I spoke to Asif Vali, He said they are making changes in the camp, Roach is going to be kept but they are hiring Nazim Richardson who will be with Khan throughout the entire training camps, Roach going away and traveling will work with Nazim Richardson, Vali said that Bernard Hopkins made the recommendation to Team Khan post Garcia fight and Bernard has said he has worked with both before and had no problems. Ariza will be back again to replace Ruben Tubares, A new contract is being discussed with Ariza, and Nazim Richardson has agreed in principle to train Khan with Roach still being the head trainer.

    :rofl:rofl He's already ditched Tabares, After Ruben backed him on twitter as well. Tabares had a dig at Froch for Khan on there IIRC, At work so can't get the quote but it was poor form (was after the alleged comments that Froch made) but if this is true it's shocking he always runs back to Ariza after a bad display. Suppose it will be ''Ermm if i had trained with Alex for that fight i'd of taken that shot easily and came back firing. My legs need to be strong! (Khan accent) .

    As for working with Naazim and Roach, well Bernard did it before the Calzaghe fight. Not sure it's a good idea for Khan. He finds it hard enough listening to one voice let alone two..

    He's an idiot if he gets rid of Tabares. I think he looked in excellent physical condition and was very explosive. Obviously cant comment on how well he would have lasted down the stretch but from what I've seen I think Tabares is a very good S&C coach.

    And just don't think having two big name trainers will work tbh.

    rico or somebody stated this a week after garcia fight. Wow @ them switching s&c coach like nothing..lol
    back to Ariza..

    Him sticking with roach makes me wonder if the other possible trainers were busy or have other ideas/agendas etc.

    Khan is like a player. **** 'em over, bring them in, **** them again and then bring them in again.

    That's my boy.

    In all seriousness, I really like this idea, if true. Nucca Nazim, Roach and Ariza shall hopefully help him. Who's your source, emallini?

    I agree with what Hunter says regards the way Khan looked under Tabares.

    Hard to take him completely seriously regarding conditioning, given the fact that Ward is on record of working with Victor Conte

    Oh, and how long before Richardson tells Ariza to shut the **** up, considering the way Ariza barks boxing instruction out like he thinks hes ray arcel or eddie futch?

    I hope Ariza is getting payed a lot.

    If I was Ariza I would say **** off from the way Khan team treated them unless I get big $$$ I aint doing **** for you guys.

    And this also is a bit ******ed becauase Ariza goes with Manny Pac.

    I think it may have been Iron Chin, Darni/Go Getta, or someone else.

    But yeah, not surprised if this is true. And although it's the right choice, he does look like a dick for always running back to Ariza - even though Ariza's at fault for getting ditched to begin with . But still, it doesn't come off well. It appears disrespectful to Ruben - who's been quite good to Khan like Skills has said. I wasn't too keen on the way he had Khan built, but still.

    To be fair, Ariza's been a dick to them as well. He even pissed Roach off with the way he just up and left last time round.

    i dont think he even needs a conditioning coach, he knows how to get in shape for a fight he needs to put all his time and energy into learning his craft.
