What improvements do you think Roach will have made to the Khan express?

    Anyone seen episode 2 of ODLH Pacman 24/7, they've got clips of Khan and Pacman sparring on it and they looked to be going all out at each other, and if Khan could knock him down he won $1000, was pretty good to watch Khan in there with one of the top guys.

    There is no doubting his offensive abilities, he has all the tools to go all the way, it's just that questionable chin, but like someone has sad before me - it will be entertaining watching him try and get to the top, just like it will be with David Haye, although at this moment in time i'd back Haye to do it if i had to choose one.

    Every credit....I hope Khan does well but it doesn't help that he keeps fighting guys that I like... Maybe they should match him with .... Zelenoff then i'll be right behind him.

    It can be seen and its already known that Roach likes his speed and will make him live behind his jab. He's also trying to help him use his feet better and block punches more.

    I have no doubt Khan has the talent to do anything he wants in training BUT he needs to be taught to execute in the ring. If he can then we have a potential animal on our hands even with a weak chin. Hide, Hearns, Tito and many other fighters with differing levels of durability went far. Khan can at the very least make himself the best lightweight in the UK and maybe Europe. That deserves respect. Not everyone can be invincible.

    I'm pretty sure i'd have had a very good go but I very much doubt i'd have been the man. I've got a good crack though especially for a guy with 1... stoppage in 16. :lol:

    By the sounds of it Khans team have got the strategy correct, I sincerely hope Oisin pulls it off but at this stage I give him about a 25% chance. But i've heard nothing from him re his training camp so i'm only getting half the info I need to make an accurate assesment.

    Zel has fought heavyweights so I doubt Khan will want to make that fight happen.
