Boxing: Khan to ponder trainer’s role

Amir Khan is considering his relationship with trainer Freddie Roach, admitting ‘it’s hard being number two to Manny Pacquiao’, according to The Telegraph. His comments came after his defeat to Danny Garcia on Saturday where he was knocked out three times to finally succumb in the fourth round. However, Khan outlined his determination to win back both titles but will review his relationship with Roach, saying that he is tired of constantly being number two to Manny Pacquiao, who the American also trains. “I want someone who is with me all the way through, like my conditioner Ruben Tabares is,” said Khan. “It’s hard when you’re with Manny and have to be the number two. Every fight is a big fight for me, I’m fighting the top 10 guys and so I need the best guys with me all the way through.”
