Last month, BoxingScene.com ran a story where Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach discussed the past sparring sessions between Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan. Roach swore that Pacquiao blasted Khan several times in the gym and downplayed the magnitude of the two of them colliding down the line.

Roach claimed Khan was decked at least "four times." Khan left Roach in 2012 and hooked up with Virgil Hunter, who is best known for training super middleweight king Andre Ward.

Khan denies that Pacquiao dropped him. He thinks Roach might be making those comments because he's emotional over their 2012 split.

"No way Manny outclassed me in sparring. Perhaps I should send Freddie some videos to remind him of that. But I don’t want to get into an argument about whether Manny knocked me down. Perhaps Freddie said it because he was hurt that I left him for Virgil Hunter – who everyone says is making me a better fighter – but I want there to be respect when I meet him and Manny somewhere down the road," Khan said.
