Roach: I'll Be Disappointed if Khan Doesn't Stop Malignaggi

Trainer Freddie Roach was very upset during a recent appearance on the Leave it in The Ring Radio Show. When the subject of Paul Malignaggi came up, Roach went off. Malignaggi is going to fight WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan on May 15.

Roach became upset over Malignaggi's recent comments where he disclosed his his thoughts about Khan and performance enhancing drugs. Malignaggi thinks Khan is clean but admits the thought crossed his mind because Khan trains under the same team as Manny Pacquiao, who Malignaggi suspects is on performance enhancing drugs.

"I don't think we really want fight Paulie though cause he's such an assh**e. I used to respect this guy and like him, but he opens his mouth and says Amir is on steroids now because he trains with Freddie Roach. I might smack him when I see him, I might, I'm pissed off about that with him," Roach said.

"I feel like pulling Amir out of the fight and telling him [Malignaggi] go get a payday somewhere else because there's no payday here. You've knocked out five guys in your career, it must've been five girls. If Amir doesn't knock him out I'll be very dissapointed."
