Roach: Team Khan Asked Me To Dump Pacquiao, Chavez - Boxing News
So this is going to lead onto Khan having a new trainer now doubt then.
So who's it going to be? Robert Garcia?
I doubt it would be Garcia, he trains loads of fighters doesnt he??
True, he has Rios and Donaire and probably a few lesser know fighters to keep himself too busy for Kahn.Quote:

But asking him to drop one of the 2 biggest names in the sport? A guy who has been with Roach for 10 years before Khan showed up?
I think Khan and his camp are severely overestimating his value...;D
don't you know who I am?!Quote:

Dump Manny?...Khan is clearly punchy and bumped his head getting out of bed.
Ricky Hatton is trining fighters now isn't he?
;D
*I know a guy that's freinds with garcia... he mentioned Maidana ..and i know Garcia trains Pav as well.Quote:

Khan needs some guile and needs to step away from the ambushing style of Manny Pacquiao. It is not a good fit for a tall guy with inaccurate punches and bad balance. (yes his balance is bad because he always leans forward too much when he throws)
Nothing wrong with what Khan (his team) said. They bascially severed ties in a polite way. They ain't blaming Roach they just need someone that can fully commit to Khan.
It looked terrible in 24/7 when Khan was having a sparring war - with a guy that wasn't even a pro - with the little filipino guy and his conditioner standing in his corner.
I think the headline is deliberately being provocative to portray Khan to be an villain. In all likelihood Khan knows that Roach will not stop training his 2 fighters as they make him money and fame.
Khan will definitely have to find another trainer who can give him the time and attention that he needs to improve his defence and get him back into title contention. Emanuel Steward has got to be that person as he did exactly that when Lennox got knocked out by Oliver McCall.
I find that hard to be believe! Khan and his 'team' aren't stupid, so I don't see them making that suggestion, unless as an invitation to an argument. Now that's possible, throw something out there, let the media have it and , of course, beat it to death. Hey, it could cause a ruckus and lead to a parting of the ways. I just can't see anyone making that sort of suggestion or demand.
