Was meant to post that earlier, A man who was a good fighter but not the great boxing legend he makes himself out as, Some Champion he was that he only had one return fight after his defeat to Marco Antonio Barrera...

That's the key for Khan, listening to Freddie Roach. If he does as he is told then he has the chance to become a great, his natural speed and power is frightening.

He had the potential to go on do amazing things. But apparently didn't have the commitment or desire to fulfill it.



I think Khan does, he's picking up good training habits from the Pacman. Roach said there is only Khan who can keep up with Manny in the gym - that must do his confidence the world of good.



Good things are gonna happen with him in the future. He shouldn't even bother with Hatton. I actually with Warren about Hatton.. He should stay out of the ring

The major obstacle to Khan's continued success could be Freddie Roach's health. You can hear the slurring starting to come through in his speech when he's interviewed much more recently IMO.



I don't think he's anything to gain from taking on Kevin Mitchell - if Mitchell wants a shot at a genuine world title then he needs to go away and beat a couple more top ten fighters.

I've noticed that, his symptoms look to be getting worse. I thnk it was on HBOs 24/7 show fro ma few fights ago - it said the shaking and speech thing gets worse closer to a fight due to the stress/long hours he puts in.



Roach has a brilliant mind, I think that's his best quality - the amount of studying he does for a fight. He said he studied Hatton for 8 weeks and probably knew him better than Ricky knew himself! He was probably right too.



I think it's time for Khan to give America a go. The fans should really take to his style

David Haye at his best....

Love him or hate him, he's right!



I wonder what the Americans think of him? I know Mr De La Hoya likes him, maybe he is going to co-promote with Golden Boy Promotions to 'break' America

But if the fighters are not there what can you do. They're is not a heavyweight on the planet at the moment who would capture the imagination in the way an Ali, Tyson or even a Holyfield or Lewis did and even if Haye was undisputed World Champ he would still not get the plaudits they did because it is not a "sexy" weight division at present and until there are a crop of genuine world class fighters at that level, and have a bit of charisma that the Russia lot lack, nothing is going to change.

I really liked reading this thread. Please, continue...

Anyone see the Boxing last night on SS1?



That David Price fight was funny! The other fella looked shocked that he punched him. Fancy that!



I turned off half-way through the 'wrestling match' between Broadhurst and can't remember other fella's name.

Anyone know what time this Klitschko fight is due to start on sky ?

Bore fest. Ive turned it off after 9 rounds .
