Being Freddy Roach's second fiddle is still better than most current trainers to be honest mate.
It's not helped in my opinion by having family memebers running him as a buisness.
He needs BOXING PEOPLE THROUGHT HIS TEAM.
He turned pro to early and has been a victim of his own success .

Thats a load of bollocks.
Khan has improved dramatically under Freddy Roach. Offensively AND defensively.
The hard sparring he has done over the last few years has actually even given him
a bit more heart and he can take a punch better too. Unfortunately, even after all
that he is still chinny. Also, he is NOT that big a hitter, he flatters to deceive with
dazzling footwork and hand speed. But he blows up, his stamina is not the best and
his opponents have got wise to it.
He might as well retire because he is turning into a stepping stone now

Yeah he improved massively under roach, thats a definite. But hes starting to go backwards because he never has a constant coach with him for his training camp. He nearly got in a deep sparring war with a guy who had only had 1 pro fight. The video before his last fight that sky showed was horrific and i felt gutted for him as he looekd like he was training himself. I agree hes not a big hitter but you dont have to be. Not many people get put on the floor and stay down in fights these days. But even a non hard hitter can stun you with a flurry of punches like Khan does. Bit like Calzaghe did at the end of his carear when he couldnt spar or punch properly.
Think a proper training camp with a coach who makes him his priority ( so no clash of camps) and a pr man to get fans back on his side can work wonders for him. Hes still young and better fighters than him have lots more fights

ARGUMENTATIVE c**t I AM
No need to start my last post with "thats a load of bollocks"
However, I do feel that Khan got as good as he was ever going to get under Roach.
I've heard boxers criticise their trainers before but not down to specifics the way
Khan has done "my defence is crap because of my trainer"??
Khans defence suffers chiefly because he cannot take a solid shot
