    Khan aint gonna get Roachs undevided attention because he has to train Pacquiao for De La Hoya, a massive fight and then theres all the promotional work that will go with it.

    At least he will get good sparring, he could be a usefull sparring partner for Pacquiao.

    Maybe Rubio was wrong for Khan, if he couldnt get Khan to fight how he wanted.

    Any decent trainer wouldnt stay with Khan if he keeps his attitude of doing as he pleases, they wouldnt want to end up a scape goat for a fighter who wont listen.

    I think it's a good move, wether he makes the most of it??

    Sparring will definitely help. It's really down to Khan, undevided attention or not he'll have to work tirelessly to iron out the fundamental mistakes which will take tremendous self discpline that no amount of money paid to a trainer will instill.

    I think he believed his own hype for so long, believing he has the 'natural' gifts to make it. People often talk about the 'natural gifts' of the likes of jones jr and Mayweather, without mentioning that in their primes they had very few parallels in terms of their meticulous approach to training.

    i wish khan all the best but it's going to be a whli till he gets anywhere near a world title shot.He'll really have to focus on his guard more due to the fact that you cant strenghen a chin no matter who you are.I f only he had a chin like Calzaghe.Just imagine that!!!!

    I agree with all who say he's firing Rubio so he could blame him for the loss or take off some of the heat. Getting knocked out in 54 seconds isn't a an error by the coach, it's that Amir just got caught.

    Freddie Roach aint making his chin stronger.
