Khan vs. Garcia
Amir Khan can learn from Mayweather Jr
By Babatis Banda: Amir Khan is a decent fighter. I am not sure if Khan can be considered an elite fighter anymore, but what Amir has is plenty of youth and speed. He does not possess elite skill, he has no great power and he lacks patience. Amir needs to learn to balance his deficiencies and his strengths.
Khan unhappy that he’s had to fly long distances to train with Roach

Amir Khan Not Survive
By Liam Smith: As most people are aware by now the Mandalay Bay Resort witnessed the fantastic knock out of Amir Khan at the weekend and first of all I would like to congratulate WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia on his victory.

Khan should not blame Roach
