The legendary trainer, Freddie Roach believes he has not one, but two fighters in his stable that are capable of beating Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. Roach who famously trains Manny Pacquiao also trains Amir Khan.
Quoted recently by the Daily Star, Roach stated: “I used to think I had one fighter who could beat Mayweather, but now I think I have got two.” Roach was referring to both Pacquiao and Khan.
Roach admits he is not a fan of Mayweather’s, but his reasoning for why his fighters can defeat Mayweather is due in part to their speed. “I am not a big fan of Mayweather,” said Roach, adding: “and Amir and Manny have speed which he can’t handle… my two guys are both very, very good.”
Khan takes on Marcos Maidana this Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
