    :lol: :lol:

    won't even be in his corner for his comeback fight, which has to be considered important. And he won't be fighting in Vegas either, right? I didn't get all that Vegas chat considering Khan is a domestic class fighter and not good enough to be on a big show anyway.
    This reminds me of when Alex Arthur had Roach training him, AAA kept talking about it as if it meant he had made it and how he might room with Toney and Tyson etc, then Freddie wasn't even in his corner when he got battered by Gomez.
    sadly deluded these guys, Freddie must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    U can't fix a weak chin. He's got to keep that s"#! tucked in.

    Roach will be in Pac's corner for the DLH fight. I think Team Khan have made a mistake by not making sure Roach would be available on fight night. But Khan will only be fighting a bum this time around so I dont think it will make much difference.

    I seem to think the same thing happened to Alex Arthur when he fought Gomez. Look what happened to him.

    As Alan Sugar would say Khan is a lightweight. When it comes to the big boys in boxing he means nothing. He is just a hyped flash harry ramadan.

    Sure thing Roach will not give 2 shits about him, why not concentrate on the top boys in your gym like pacman from where most your earnings and rep will come form rather than a chinny **** from Bolton who has been talking **** for the last 2/3 years.

    Roach did the same with Alex Arthur. Id be surprised if this lasts longer than a year.

    The best thing for Khan to do would be leave his family etc here and go live and train over in the US with no hype and no big name status that would make or break him

    The best thing he can do is retire. Not after his next KO loss, right now.

    Focus on modelling and building his gyms, maybe we'll get a better prospect than him out of it.

    Indeed , its all about what he wants to become I guess.

    or like TFFP says , maybe he should just f**kn knock it in now , its unlikely he'll ever regain the attention he had ( unless something really does change with him ) so why not ?

    Touche..........

    I think his chin will always be his nemesis, no matter what Freddie Roach, Manny Steward or whoever can do with him. He doesn't fight according to his strengths and weaknesses - he has had absolutely no schooling at all in the ring against opponents capable of giving him a hard time (Limond, Gomez and Prescott apart) and look what happened in each of those fights.

    He could win every round against someone and be let down by that glass jaw.
