He always said he has never been KO'd in sparring: -

Probably hasn't, it's just Roach mouthing off as usual.

I don't like Roach.

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

Classless of roach if true

Somebody would have an iphone video of it.

Sparring is sparring.

I heard he flawed Manny too.

Who from? Roach in previous interview !

Ariza denies it.

Only one way to settle this dispute...Khan vs Pacquiao April 2015!

Would be a good fight IMO!

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

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.

Nor me.

Who does Roach think he is all of a sudden - Enzo ?

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.

Ironic thing is Manny has been stopped more times than Khan and has been down more in his career ha, he's making out pax has a granite chin, both will have dropped each other, floyd schools both

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.
