Floyd Mayweather wants to fight me after Pacquiao - Amir Khan

[TomandJerry]

Britain's Amir Khan says Floyd Mayweather's manager told him "let's get that fight on" after the American beat Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

Mayweather, 38, took his unbeaten record to 48 fights with a one-sided points victory over Pacquiao.

Khan, 28, who takes on former light-welterweight world champion Chris Algieri on 30 May, says he has also been invited to fight Pacquiao, 36.




"I'm in a position where I could face either but I want Mayweather," he said.


Would be a good fight

Obviously they both want to fight Khan it is an easy pay day for either of them.

Khan would cause Mayweather problems. His at his peak and has the style to make things difficult. His the only fighter at Welter worth watching fight Floyd.

Would love Floyd to fight Golovkin but can't see it with two weights separating them.

Thats one view I suppose but Khan will have to chase Mayweather and will get picked off as he comes forward. I would suggest an easy points win for Mayweather by about 4 or 5 rounds.

Mayweather said live on TV this morning he was handing all his belts back to the respective boxing boards
on Monday morning.
Said his next fight will be his last and NOT for a title.

I wouldn't bet on Khan if he was 1000/1 to beat Floyd

Actually Amir has fought really well since taking Virgil Hunter on as a trainer. His main downfall previously was getting involved in a brawl and not using his speed and reach to keep at distance. Virgil seems to have refined his fighting style and his last win against Devon Alexander was very impressive.

Not saying he will beat Mayweather though but I genuinely believe that he will give Floyd more problems than manny did last night.

Never get tired of that. Amir Khan has two hopes if he ever got in the ring with Mayweather, they are 'no hope' and 'Bob Hope'. And Bob is dead.

I really can't believe Khan didn't quit after being totalled in that fight

As good as Mayweather is, that would be a very quick route to 48-1 for him in my view.

Golovkin is younger, naturally bigger and stronger, no slouch when it comes to speed and movement and hits like a sledgehammer against full-blown middleweights.

I agree I would make Golovkin a favourite to win that. If Floyd were to pull of a win here there could surely be no doubt as to his standing amongst the all time greats.

Mayweather has stated his next fight in September will be his last. And Khan won't fight in September as he's observing Ramadan this year.

Of course this all depends on whether you believe Mayweather when he says he's calling it a day after his next fight. Which plenty of people don't.

 

[The_Viper]

Hasn't Khan said something about religious dispension or whatever in order to fight him?

Khan would actually have a great chance against Floyd, he's the style Mayweather struggles with.

 

[METALMICKY]

Utter bull from Khan and just the usual cocky nonsense and just purely a desperate attempt for a big pay day. He did simply get picked off by Mayweather and it would be a mid fight ko or a comfortable points win.

In basic terms what makes anyone think that Khan would not struggle as much as Manny to put Money under any real consistent pressure. This fight was a great contest 5 years ago and can anyone seriously suggest that the Khan of today compares to the Manny of 5 years ago?

In basic terms Amir is tall and rangy with a long reach a good jab and really fast hands. I am not saying that he would necessarily beat Floyd but I think he would give him more problems the Manny. The times when Amir has struggled has been against the one punch knockout merchants such as Garcia, however when he keeps disciplined he is very difficult to beat.
