Is Khan vs JMM or Guzman plausible?

[Kel]

Roach said he won't put Khan against PAC and JMM... Not just yet...

Maybe Guzman, they're both fast... but I like Khan vs. Juan Diaz more since both are young boxers and we can see if a pillow punch can break a glass jaw...
.

I thought Frank Warren was his manager?

Roach is Khan's trainer/coach... He has a say on who Khan will fight next...

a fight against Juan Diaz would be koo but Diaz will ko him eventually
if fight against JMM i owuld be worried for Khan's life
JMM win by horrible brutal KO

JMM takes Khan to school at this point. There's a huge gap between an old worn-out Barrera and a still-effective Marquez.

It will NEVER happen.

I am not argueing the outcome of the fight, I am just saying that due to Khan's celebrity status it seems like an obvious option for either Guzman or JMM to take while waiting for bigger fights.

Honestly Juan Diaz has a worse style for Khan than JMM and Guzman who are less of pressure fighters against Juan he would have to work way harder to say away, IMO he would outtime and outspeed JMM for a few rounds until, JMM would say fuck it and would walk through his punches.

Guzman is not plausible because Guzman brings no money to the table. Khan's not going to fight a dangerous opponent unless that opponent brings a big fanbase and a big paycheck.

Khan can make just as much money fighting far less dangerous opponents than Guzman.

no...Roach's job is preparing Khan for whoever is put in front of him, not pick fights for him, that's why Roach gets so much flack when it comes to Manny

Yes Roach main job is to train Amir but he's part of Team Khan and at least he has some say on who to fight next... But if Amir (who has the biggest say) or Warren (who has the 2nd biggest say) wants a JMM fight then Roach will be forced to train Amir for that fight...

I've read somewhere that Amir is not keen on fighting JMM next... It's only Warren who kind of interested in the JMM fight... Maybe Warren planning to lure JMM with some moderate money to come to UK and fight Amir... You know UK venue, UK doctor, UK referee, etc... Warren a smart promoter...

I imagine that from now on Freddie will have a major say in who Khan fights next. It will be Warren's decision but he'd be a fool not to listen to the opinion of arguably the world's greatest trainer.

I imagine every opponent they pick from now on will be carefully considered and approved by the whole team, Amir, Freddie, Frank, Amir's dad, Allah through prayer etc.

It certainly isn't all going to hinge on one person.

IMO a trainer should be controlling the future of the fighter before the promoter. Who knows the fighter's abilities more than the trainer? I would bet money that if a guy is a world class trainer he will know how the fighter's style matches up with different styles, and what he can handle in the ring better than any promoter. However, this is a new relationship, I doubt Roach knows Khan quite as well as Warren yet, and promoters do play a large part in the decision making, but to ignore Roach's opinion on what/who Amir is ready for would be foolhardy.
