    it will work for khan because he has bags of talent, ambition and money

    not many others have all these attributes

    It would be a good test to go in for a bit of sparring, if they get their arses handed to them give up and become a postie.

    Yeah, it worked well for Alex Arthur. He put up a great performance in losing to a journeyman, Roach did very well there.

    I'm not saying it works for everyone but i'm sure the sparring would be a good guage of possible success.

    Gary Young I think.

    Bernard Dunne puts quite a bit of his success on going to America when he was young and training with Freddie Roach at the Wildcard gym, the quality of sparring there is simply phenomenal.
