when roach first said it before the kotelnik fight i was thinking he must be losing it hes usualy the 1 telling fighters to retire not to come out and take a severe beating against a much larger man

After the Pacman wipeout he was telling Hatton to retire "unless he wants to end up like me" he said and now he's allegedly wanting a fighter who hasn't fought for two years and is almost a decade past his best to use as a sacrificial lamb for his own fighter.

Its disgusting.
I lost a lot of respect for Roach after reading his comments in yesterdays Boxing Monthly.

Since when has losing a fight meant you can't fight for the world title,holyfield springs to mind,it's all about money these days so i think it would sell very well

i like the way you missed some of my quote off
khan is now a divison above prescott, prescott will be given some comeback fights
also khan is the name fighter so why would khan fight him?

Lets face it....Roach is one of the best trainers around, but is also a hypocritical ar*e.
Calls for fighters to retire lest they end up permanently damaged, but apparenly doesn't mind feeding a badly faded Morales to Khan. If any fighter should stay retired its Erik Morales. He certainly shouldn't be facing a young lion like Khan for a title in a weightclass way above where he was prime. Shame on Roach for calling for this sh*t.
