The major obstacle to Khan's continued success could be Freddie Roach's health. You can hear the slurring starting to come through in his speech when he's interviewed much more recently IMO.

I don't think he's anything to gain from taking on Kevin Mitchell - if Mitchell wants a shot at a genuine world title then he needs to go away and beat a couple more top ten fighters.

I've noticed that, his symptoms look to be getting worse. I thnk it was on HBOs 24/7 show fro ma few fights ago - it said the shaking and speech thing gets worse closer to a fight due to the stress/long hours he puts in.

Roach has a brilliant mind, I think that's his best quality - the amount of studying he does for a fight. He said he studied Hatton for 8 weeks and probably knew him better than Ricky knew himself! He was probably right too.

I think it's time for Khan to give America a go. The fans should really take to his style

David Haye at his best....

I really liked reading this thread. Please, continue...

Anyone see the Boxing last night on SS1?

That David Price fight was funny! The other fella looked shocked that he punched him. Fancy that!

I turned off half-way through the 'wrestling match' between Broadhurst and can't remember other fella's name.

Anyone know what time this Klitschko fight is due to start on sky ?

Bore fest. Ive turned it off after 9 rounds .

Klitschko was far too clinical last night. Haye would have to win inside 6 rounds or Vitali might jab His head off 2nd half of the fight.

You lasted that long

I turned it over after the 4th and still dont even know who won

Well Done, I got to the end of the 8th and simply gave up...

Another prime example of why Heavyweight boxing is dying on its ar$e.....A champion who is so one dimensional that it is frightening, and a challenger who is scared to death of actually getting involved in a fight.....Didn't Johnson realise that this was a WORLD heavyweight title fight he was taking part in, because surely if he did he would have actually bothered making an effort??

The problem with both the Klitchsko's is simple...Both are scared to death of getting hit. Watch them both fight and watch where their heads are when they are throwing punches...It's like watching fairies fighting.

I honestly think the time has come to introduce the Super Heavyweight category to the professional scene, to try and combat the never ending cycle of robotic, painfully slow, and tedious to watch 'Heavyweights' who are around today...I noticed there is another Eastern European on the rise (Ustinov), who, like all the rest, resmebled some lumbering freak, but because of his sheer size will inevitably overwhelm many of the smaller fighters out there.

Its not a coincidence that on last night's bill, the only heavyweight who looked remotely exciting to watch, was a blown-up cruiserweight, Jonathan Banks, who similar to our own David Haye, actually possesses a few more ideas about Boxing than a tedious jab-jab-straight right/left,whilst holding your head shamefully high because your scared to death, which is all these freak-type Eastern Europeans seem to be able to do.

What's everybody make of this Pacquaio-Mayweather fight cancellation. I don't see what Pacquaio's big problem is with taking these tests unless he has something to hide, which is more likely than him "been scared of needles". I hate needles but i'd take the odd blood test for $40mil. Would be very sad if Pacman has been cheating his fans all this time.

Pacman isnt scared of needles. Its more that it takes him a few days to recover. He has been tested countless times and has always passed the blood tests. Its Mayweather trying to duck the fight. Just like he did with Moseley, Williams, Cotto and Margarito.
Mayweather only takes fights he thinks he can win.

I still think the fight will go ahead, although maybe not in March. Neither fighter will get a payday like this for any other fight and the world wants to see it.

Did anyone watch Boxing KO's 2009 on Sky Sports yesterday? I'll let you guess which was number 1.
