it will work for khan because he has bags of talent, ambition and money

not many others have all these attributes

It would be a good test to go in for a bit of sparring, if they get their arses handed to them give up and become a postie.

Yeah, it worked well for Alex Arthur. He put up a great performance in losing to a journeyman, Roach did very well there.

I'm not saying it works for everyone but i'm sure the sparring would be a good guage of possible success.

Gary Young I think.

Bernard Dunne puts quite a bit of his success on going to America when he was young and training with Freddie Roach at the Wildcard gym, the quality of sparring there is simply phenomenal.
