    I can't think of a worse high profile trainer to train Amir Khan than Roach.

    IMO, Khan should have stuck with Ariza as well.

    Exactly, you can't overstate his lack of mentality. The guy makes Zab Judah look like Floyd Mayweather, and that probably isn't fair to Zab Judah

    Khan for some reason now thinks he is a Tommy Hearns style blaster , he doesnt have the power at top level to fight like that.
    He needs to tuck in his chin , and use his speed.
    Lets face it Khan isnt that good really.

    sorry but this is a bit ridiculous, when Roach got Khan to a world title at 140 he was a genius, but now that Khan has two back to back losses it's not Amir's own damn fault, no, it's Roach's, sorry but gtfo of here with that shit, it's the same bullshit that happened when Hatton picked up Mayweather Sr, the blame was taken off of Hatton and placed right on Sr, Khan can't block worth two shits, he has a weak chin, and he doesn't know how to tie up when hurt, his fault no one elses that hasn't applied himself to improve where he clearly lacks

    He doesn't accept those flaws, or any flaws. He's convinced himself that he's the best when he' not. If you're the best and you lose, it MUST be someone else's fault because you're the best. Unfortunately from the very early days he was surrounded by people telling him he was the best. When he was fighting Willy Limond and Michael Gomez he had a touch of humility about him and after every fight said "I'm young, I've still got a lot to learn but it's going well". Now he seems to think he has nothing to learn and he's the greatest. The lack of humility and introspection is going to be his undoing I think. He keeps talking about stepping up and fighting Mayweather but the reality is he's nowhere near the same league as Mayweather yet. And unless he starts accepting his faults and working on them he never will be.

    Trouble with Khan, and it always has been,is where His Head is left, because of Bad Posture.

    A trainer can only do so much. Once the fighter is in the ring he's on his own. If Khan had followed Roach's fight plan he'd have scored an easy points decision or maybe a late stoppage. Khan got complacent dropped his guard & Garcia landed a very lucky shot that turned the fight on its head.
    I remember a similar devastating hook that my good buddy in Texas Gene Mad Dog Hatcher scrambled Johnny Bumphus brains with to take the title. Gene called it the Hook from Heaven. Dang I thought old Lou Duva was going to have a litter of kittens that night

    Agree. A trainer cannot fight the fight for you. I think Khan sold himself out trying to be something he's not, reading the headlines. Against Peterson, Maidana he got sucked in and lastnight he was just...wreckless and fighting like a coiled spring. I thinks he's a better boxer but lastnight he was taking shortcuts an already suspect chin cannot keep up with. I'm not sure Garcia wouldn't have tested it later anyhow.

    Khan in the wrong gym? That's a tricky one to work through because sometimes it's a 50/50 bargain. I don't know gym politics or who's who, but I can look and see that Khan made a mental mistake that lead to a technical one. It could be that simple, it may not.
