    Is it any wonder that people consistently cry out for our best prospects to go and get trained in America?

    It can also be the knee jerk suggestion when a prospects career isn't going as people would like.

    To be fair Khan has the desire and will to do it, some of our prospects can't even bother to make weight.

    haye needs to get his arse there tbh,roach will see from an outsiders view on what haye is doing wrong to injure himself so much,and how wierd his style is and how his balance/footstance/footwork can be improved. he will push for haye to be busier,land first,land jabs and more combinations

    Im of the opinion its more down to his conditioning improvements, the opposition and the quality of the sparring rather than his boxing because for me he still fights the same as hes always done.

    Without intending to cause controversy but isn't there a BALCO connection with the Wild Card Gym? Or was I imagining things

    we would see massive improvements in the likes of bellew and gavin if they had the balls and desire to do it. enzo could have achieved things in his career if he also did it, instead of sitting on wbu titles

    look at ashley theophanes, he has overachieved already as a result of his going to america and getting the best possible training and he will tell you that himself

    It doesn't mean that its automatically the best thing for everybody any more than Joe Calzaghe fighting out of Newbridge sparring Gavin Rees and Bradley Pryce is the best thing for everybody.

    It's down to desire as much as anything, though Roach has obviously given Khan a lot of valuable information to help him compliment his style.

    khan jus throws countless amounts of shots with no real direction......

    any fighter who can pick the gaps will lay khan out cold.....

    Khans movement and balance was probably the best it had ever been for him last night. And I don't think he missed many shots either, he didn't look like he was wasting much.

    I agree his defense isn't the best, but he has one of the best offenses a fighter can have, his hand speed was off the scale last night.

    No. There is a BALCO connection (Victor Conte) to Judah, Donaire, and Andre Ward. They openly admit to working with him.
