naz and amir khan's analogy don't apply naz was with his trainer from a your amir khan only for a few yeras. naz got to a point where you can't teach an old dog new tricks which is what his new trainers tried. That won't be a problem for amir khan as he';s still learning. right decision to make

no matter what sport you are in stay loyal you get 2big for your boots. all the press and the money as gone 2 is head. i think he his a world class boxer but a little bit of fame will finish him like naz.

Amir has the kind of slick style that can be improved under the likes of Roger Mayweather. I can not imagine him on the world stage with oliver Harrison, although he hasn't done any wrong so far, but thats as far as he can go. Naseem is not a comparison as his style was unique, whereas that was his downfall, this i believe, for Amir, will be to his advantage.

It does not matter who khans trainer is he will get knocked out as soon as he fights a fighter with more than 10 ko's on his record the show will be over he has a glass jaw nobody can see it except for me for some reason. Also Roger Mayweather would not be allowed to train khan when roger wanted to train Steve Forbes for his clash with de la hoya floyd mayweather spat his dummy out and said he will sack roger if he did so you can rule out roger mayweather training khan.

Naz was completely different, he was trained by his brothers and started to believe his own hype. As long as Amir gets another trainer who can take him further he can be world class!

Even though he left harrison we need to give the next trainer a chance to see if it actually works or not. Maybe its for the best maybe its not we have yet to see

Freddie Roach are you having a laugh??? he told Hopkins he was WINNING in the last round of the Calzaghe fight and cornered Tyson in his last two fights which he lost.. Its no fluke him winning under Harrison if its not broke....

Well i personally think Amir's made a huge mistake, you should always stick with people that know you best. Like Prince Naz, Amir's gonna probably regret this decision. When Naz split with Ingle, from then on he went down hill. I truly hope the same doesn't happen to Amir.

i think this a great move for khan a trainer like roger mayweather would develop amir even more when it comes to his defence and that's what he needs at the moment his defence is weak...

Is there no such a thing as loyalty anymore? Amir Kahn should look at Joe Calzaghe who has stuck with his trainer since the beginning and look where Joe is now!! Joe was asked to sack Enzo earlier in his career but stayed loyal and is now one of the top 3 fighters in the world in all weights. Maybe Kahn has been swayed by the brightlights of vegas whilst watching Calzaghe - Hopkins. I believe this to be a mistake on Kahn`s part and he will regret the split. Naseem Hamed wasnt the same when he left the Ingle camp, and speaking of Hamed his recent interview with sky he commented he would possibly come back as a lightweight. Wouldnt a Hamed vs Kahn fight at Wembley be a terrific fight!!

Amir's Job is boxing. When it comes to my job i have to gain experience both the customers have to deal with and my co-workers i have to work with. By working with new and different people with different styles and knowledge i have gained as a person and i am all the better for it. Surely the same applies to Amir. This is about him learnig something different from someone new which should give him more in his locker and then make him a better fighter.

this is a very good move harrison has taken amir as far as he can go,roach would be my choice for amir and this can really take him to the next level!

although amir has done excellent under harrison, i think this is a good move and more importantly the right one. if amir has the opportunity to work with such an outstanding coach such as freddie roach, he is surely bound to win a world title and fight some superb boxers.

good that he seems keen but harrisons done wrong in preparing khan for any of his fights at the end of the day goin over there and getting trained by all these legendry trainers might not do him any favours at all ricky hattons a good example he aint got rid of billy graham cus graham no's hatton best just like harrison no's you more ur starting from scratch again
