Khan is in the wrong gym

[Althugz]

I'm not trying to be overly hard on Roach but the fact of the matter is, he does not teach his fighters how to clinch or tie-up. He himself was a face first fighter. Having said that, when you have a fighter as fragile as Khan both chin wise and mentally, it ought to be an imperative in training.

The trainers aren't the only ones that have to be smart, the fighters do too.

Yeah, I definitely see your point here. I mean it's not like Roger ever tells Floyd anything special in the corner is it?

"Keep tappin that bitch...that muh fucka gon go later on anyway"

Floyd just has it in him to adapt. Very hard to teach that boxing brain.

It's funny because I think a part of it is to do with attitude. Ironically, guys like Khan and Hatton who seem very outwardly humble, I ALWAYS detected hints of arrogance from these guys. Hatton saying "Floyd ain't knocking me out..when did he last knock someone out? I'm stronger and bigger than him etc" and Khan saying "We're gonna jump on him and I promise to knock him out" - Over rating themselves and not planning for the opposite scenario.

Where as Floyd is the opposite..Outwardly arrogant but once he gets inside that gym, I get the feeling he is humble about his skills. That's why he trains so hard..he needs to back up his outward arrogance.
