Do you think Roach would make this up? Bit out of order if he has, but why would he?

Hard to believe you'd keep putting him in there if he'd knocked him out two or three times to reach five times.

Probably has been sat down a few times in sparring with pacman, but 'out'? I very much doubt it, that would only happen once, twice at a push. No matter how much he's learning off manny the physical and mental damage done to khan if this were true would far outweigh the positives. John fewkes sparred with khan before the Prescott fight but had to sign a confidentiality form! I thought at the time it was cos his team had absolutley no faith in his punch resistance.

I think when he spoke about it properly he said Pacquaio used to drop khan after initially saying used to knock him out.

Really? I'm not 100% sure but I would expect that Freddy Roach doesn't allow videoing of the sparring session especially by anyone just using their phones!! I know that nobody is allowed to video sparring at our gym and I have never seen it at any gym i've been to.

OK, so Roach makes money from Khan being his trainer, therefore wants him in the best condition, yet see's Khan regularly KOd and carries on allowing it. OK then Freddie :TU:

Never seen any of the thousands of youtube clips of sparring with novices all the way to great fighters?

If you ask me, Roach is using it to belittle Mayweather. If you read the article Roach says that Mayweather won't fight Khan as he's too young and fast for him. So Manny ko'd Khan many times, but Mayweather is too scared to fight Khan as Khan is too fast, therefore Manny is better than Floyd!

Roach spouts so much crap now you just wish he'd just go away.

Sparring stories should be left in the gym. Poor form by Roach.

It sounds like Amir was knocked down by Pacquaio rather than knocked out. It is hardly surprising though. Amir might have returned the favour, who knows.

Amir Khan became fair game the moment he blamed his knockout loss to Danny Garcia on Freddie's Parkinson's.

Not surprised at all Khans pretty chinny and Pac man is an all time great so nothing to be ashamed of there.

Roach is a rather classless individual isn't he? It seems that being Pacman's trainer has really gone to his head, he used to be quite likeable, but he seems to be turning into a massive shithead.
