Khan Working With Ariza - Game Changer?

Anyone who recalls the form of both Pacquiao and Khan under Ariza will remember how both were more powerful and more resilient than they have been over recent times (post-Ariza). Are we likely to see a souped-up Juan Manuel Marquez-style monster of a 155 pounder?

No.

One is a master counter puncher. The other isn't.
One has amazing powers of recovery after being hurt. The other doesn't.
One can stand and trade without getting knocked out. The other can't.
One has a brain. The other doesn't.

Marquez was already a monster who gave most utter fits. Khan on the other hand gets knocked around and down by average fighters.

Khan gets knocked out around the 4th after running round throwing little fluffy punches for 3 rounds and then Truss (who won't have actually watched the fight as usual!) starts frothing at the mouth like he did after the Garcia fight and tries to tell us he was winning by miles.

Makes sense. If you want to bulk up quicker than you should be able to, Ariza is your man.

Why work with the man knowing his history?
