    Khan under run of the mill UK type trainer = bad

    Khan under legendary ATG trainer = good


    Although he loses influence and power over his fighter and has to take risks, but the product is that much superior it is surely worth it for the couple of massive paydays he may get?

    Makes sense completely however Warren is all about influence and power so wont be happy. i thought he would kick off in the post fight when Khan and Roach both said US next! Frank did not like that!

    Frank was well pissed off, quite funny to watch, and then when they panned back to khan he just started off again about going to the states. Warren has to take a risk with khan, or he will end up being regrded as a joke champion

    Khan will split with warren soon, i'm not khan biggest fan but 1 thing i will say is i do genuinely believe khan wants to challenge the best fighters out there and is clever enough to know that won't happen under warren.

    He'll sign for golden boy within 18 months if he doesn't get another loss in that time i believe

    I agree with everything on here but I would like to see Amir not give up on the UK full stop he is just starting to develop a fan base and I for one would love to go watch him at the o2. Hopefully he has a volentury in the UK against someone like Paul McCloskey (a genuine light Welterweight and also not a shot old timer).

    Protected hype with **** team or unprotected hype with good team. I hope Warren see's the extreme difference.

    Same happened with Mitchell to be honest. He was terrible when he turned pro. He got with Cook and now Tibbs, two seemingly good coaches. Plus he rose to the occassion against Johansson, Prescott etc

    Give these kids a good team and good opponents and see what they can really achieve.

    He might well leave frank, if he doesn't get his chance, but i don't see that happening any time soon, simply because of the clout he will carry in terms of furthering khans career.
    Khan isn't at that point in his career were he would be able to dictate who and when he fights

    Khan is leaving Warren, that is a banker. That is why the poor Prescott was matched with Mitchell. How long has Mitchell been sat around waiting to be given a shot at something of note? Suddenly he is given the man who beat Khan, and Warren will have known full well that Prescott was overrated by the UK public because of the Khan fight.

    I knew Mitchell would win comfortably and when Khan leaves, Warren can say "Kev was always the best fighter I had and you only have to look at how he dealt with Prescott compared to Khan to see that"...

    And Warren has his new cash cow.

    When Khan stated he wanted to go to the US and patted him on the back he wasn't happy. He can either keep with Khan but risk losing a lot of power he had over him.. or tell him he wants Khan to fight headline shows over here, in which case look out for Khan promotions.

    Khan should get on Mayweather v Pac Man undercard against winning of Diaz V Mallignaggi.

    Diaz and Malignaggi winner are both good tough fights that are very winnable.
