    Khan might be able to succeed with roach, but he needs a change in mentality. You can't be pulling that emmanuel, Mexican, or filipino **** when you have the worst chin in the sport. **** being exciting, work on being slick. He already has the polarizing personality and good looks to sell tickets, he doesn't need to be blocking punches with his face.

    anyone else notice than when maidana hurt Khan, he was doing a Pacquiao and raising his arm up in the air. I thought that **** was funny. i guess you do learn the habits of your sparring partners.

    That was nothing to do with Roach.
    Roach kept telling him when your back hits the ropes duck and roll out, standing still with his guard up was Khans idea.

    Really? I couldn't hear what he was saying during the rounds.

    So Khan was just trying to prove a point, nearly cost him in the 10th. Or maybe he just freezes up under pressure.

    and khan doesn't have the punching power of pac. he is fast but lacks the pop that will make his opponent respect him.

    I dont know why Khan abandoned that body shot when he hurt Maidana the first round. I think Khan was trying to prove a point initially by sitting there like a duck.
