I think the gameplan won him the fight plus his fast hands and movement no disrespect to Rubio or Oliver Harrison but under them he was wilder and didnt have the same defence I think it made a big diffrence under Roach class performance by Khan under Roach i think he can go all the way imo
Re: Would Khan of won that fight if Roach wasnt in his corner?
Agree with you. I do not think he would have won or come this far under his previous trainers. Its not just Roach with his wealth of experience though, credit also goes to ppl like Pacman who he can tap for knowledge/experience and who he probably looks up to as an inspirational figure.

The man is a genius and Khan clearly listens to his every word he says, in my opinion he would not have won the fight without Roach but it has to be said that he would also not have won the fight without the defeat against Prescott. It may turn out that that fight was the best thing that ever happend to him.

Ya, but Lawton has made TONS of improvements since then. He would be much more dangerous than the technically limited Marcos Maidana or an over the hill Ricky Hatton. I reckon Lawton gets to Khan late and cracks that china chin.observer1 wrote:Didn't Amir Khan already beat him?sweetscience wrote:he should fight scott lawton next.... lets see if he can cut the mustard

Ye the Prescott defeat was good for Khan it made him sit up and realise he needs to work for it everything isnt going to fall in to place and he has come on leaps and bounds since then I think he easily wins in a rematchU.F.O wrote:The man is a genius and Khan clearly listens to his every word he says, in my opinion he would not have won the fight without Roach but it has to be said that he would also not have won the fight without the defeat against Prescott.

Khan would respect the punch power of Pescott in a rematch and should win easily on points. Drop the hands though and Pescott would nail him. Its not going to happen, I cant see Khan fighting anyone he has already fought. I also cant see him fighting any British fighter again, Hatton and Witter included.alexpaterson wrote:Ye the Prescott defeat was good for Khan it made him sit up and realise he needs to work for it everything isnt going to fall in to place and he has come on leaps and bounds since then I think he easily wins in a rematchU.F.O wrote:The man is a genius and Khan clearly listens to his every word he says, in my opinion he would not have won the fight without Roach but it has to be said that he would also not have won the fight without the defeat against Prescott.
