Khan thinks he can end Mayweather’s unbeaten record – Does anyone believe him?
September 28th, 2010
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) wants to get a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions wants to see Khan face Mayweather as well. In an article at the Times, Khan says “I would love to fight Mayweather and I believe I can end his unbeaten record.” I wonder what gave Khan the impression that he has the ability to beat Mayweather?
Mayweather is in a different league with Khan, and it’s silly for Khan and his promoter Schaefer to be talking about Mayweather when Khan still has to fight and beat Marcos Maidana and the winner of the Timothy Bradley vs. Devon Alexander fight. If Khan wins those fights, he’ll get his fight with Mayweather next year, probably in September, if Schaefer gets his way.
Getting a fight with Mayweather and beating him is a whole different story. I think Khan would be humiliated by Maywether, even worse than he was in his loss to Prescott. Mayweather would drag out the beating that Khan would receive and make it last for as long as possible. I don’t even think Mayweather would try to knock Khan out, but I think he’d get stopped none the less just from Mayweather’s clean connects on his fragile chin.

I THINK AND BELIEVE AMIR WILL BEAT MAYWETHER, MAYWETHER HARDLY FIGHTS AND I BELIEVA AMIR WILL BEAT MAYWETHER ON POINTS WATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT MAYWETHER wwooowww GOOD DEFENCE HE HARDLY GT NO SPPED AMIRS SPEED WILL TAKE HIM OUT AND IF MAYWETHER DOS NT AV A FIGHT B4 SEPTEMBER NEXT YEAR AMIR I THINK WILL KO HIM HES BEEN OUT 4 A YEAR AND A 1/2 THEN FLOYD HAS NOT FOUGHT ANY1 GOOD YET.
PACQUIAO IS ON ROIDS! A BASKETBALL SIZE ” ASTE”ROIDS WHO’S ABOUT TO HIT MAYWEATHER’S FACE!…DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT HIT’S A CAR WITH THAT SIZE?….AHAHAH..IT WILL EXPLODE!……Manny’s logo should include an “ASTEROID”..
NOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!!!! It’s funny to see either how high you guys are on KHAN or how low you are on FLOYDS skills. I honestly think that most people who don’t like FLOYD get his outside the ring antics mixed with his in the ring brilliance!!
KHAN CANNOT F**K WITH FLOYD…LET’S KEEP IT REAL!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa NO.
Khan should beat Mayweather first if he wants to fight Pac.
Look how SCARED THIS FLOYDIE IS,,,he choose prison rather than fighting Pac..
Hatton falls into deep depression…..
Mayweather choose prison…..
khan is no where near mayweather. why are we even talking about it.
yes manny is a patter fighter. but floyd is a woman beater. whos next for josie harris?
You need power volume and smarts to hit Floyd once. Then you need to switch it up and use angles to keep him confused. Floyd will never lose to a pattern fighter. Including Manny. Yes Manny is a pattern fighter. Floyd will have him figured out quick. Shane hit him once with smarts and length another was in an exchange. After that Shane was nuetralized. Amir is getting better but he needs to make a name against championship fighters. Maidana Alexander and Bradley need to be on Khans list of fighters to not only beat but smash. Even after that he should keep Mays name out his mouth. Right now Floyd would ruin the little bit of confidence that Khan has. I like how Khan has bounced back from defeat. Maidana is up next…
Yes Kahn would beat him.
im amazed at the boxing IQ of alot of posters here. so alot dont think khan will provide any form of challenge for floyd. fair enough. but at least enhance a conversation with WHY?
no brakedown of the fight/fighters just “he’ll get his a** kicked” etc….
why do i bother
khan dont humiliet yourself
of course for sure very very sure because floyd will be a senior citizen in that fight if it will be happen a very slow grumpy trash talk old man just fighting for his survival in life
khan would lose big time against mayweather. khan won’t even get past maidana. khan gets caught with looping punches. maidana will beat him in 6 or less.
This is not a good fight for mayweathers legacy. another smaller guy with no real chance of winning.
Floyd Mayweather would make Amir Khan give up boxing, dress in plaid Knickers, playing in lawn bowling tournaments and attending synogogue.
Don’t do it Khan…Watch and see the ass whoopin Pacquiao takes… Make your decision then…
PACQUIAO WOULD BE AN EASIER FIGHT THAN MAYWEATHER!
not that im a fan of amir khan’s, but i fully believe he has the “style” to beat floyd.
khans taller and has a much larger reach than floyd (something that floyd has been critisized about in the past, eg not fighting bigger guys generally), he has a razor sharp left jab to keep floyd on the outside and solid right hand to cause anyone some trouble. i believe khan would benefit from the added weight, making him stronger instead of draining his big frame to 140lbs.
i do think he needs another couple of fights, probably bradley/alexander before stepping up to a world class 147lber. i actually think mosley is tailor made for khan right now. old, slow and shot, but still a big enough name to fight mayweather.
i’ve said it before, the style to beat mayweather is that of oscar de la hoya, when he was prime. a tall welterweight with a great left hand – jab – hook – loaded right hand and a guy that presses the fight.
im a big pacquiao fan but believe his style maybe to “hit and miss” for floyd unless floyd gets overhelmed.
i used to think khan all hype, but hes shown enough especially after the loss to prescott. his chin is still in question but i doubt thats a problem when fighting floyd.
just my take
Fans wouldnt buy Mayweather v Khan. bc we know its not a competative fight. Other than Mayweather v pac i dont care about any Mayweather fights outside of Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez.
kHAN NOT READY 2 FIGHT MAYWEATHER NEEDS A LEAST ANOTHER 3 FIGHTS FIRST TO GET TO A HIGHER LEVEL..MAYWEATHER BEST P4P FIGHTER AROUND AND WOULD DESTORY KHAN…
I THINK KHAN IS ON SOME GOOD SH***********T. TALKING ABOUT FIGHTING MAYWEATHER.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IF U GET A CHANCE TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER U WILL BE HUMILIATED MAN U HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD OF A BOXER HE IS U ARE WAY OVER YOUR HEAD. THINK MAN Y U THINK PACMAN HAS BEEN DODGING MAYWEATHER FOR. JUST FIGHT EVERYONE ELSE. BABYSTEPS OK LMAO.
Cow god iam your new dad.. So get the curry on .
Cow god tell your mother little pig little pig let me in. Ha ha ha
Yes,I do believe khan beats Mayweather at his own boxing game.Floyd is ready to take.It reminds me of tysons fall from glory,even though he has not fallen as of yet.Floyd rely,s alot on reflex,s and they can not get anybetter with time.dont let the Mosely fight fool you,sugar didn,t press him at all after the first few rounds he disgracefully just kept walking at him with little force.
hindus are the best!!!
I just want your mothers ass
cant you take the truth harry you little honkey boy
Cow god you smelly curry c@nt.
Dump khan in the curry.
Cow god how much for your mother?
india will rule the world soon and we will destroy america and england and all the retards
hindus rule
the cow is the most incredible animal on the planet my mums cow will kill mayweather and khan
Josh…How’s Khan going to get a better chin? Do weights with his chin you mug.
HAHAHA KHAN WILL GET KO IN 1ST RD AGAINST MAYWEATHER AND LUCKY FOR KHAN MAYWEATHER IS PILLOW PUNCHER SO HE CAN LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY NOT LIKE MAIDANA THAT IS GOING TO MURDER KHAN BET THAT KO WILL BE BETTER THAN PACMAN VS HATTON KO
yuv got to be kidding me, this guy is smoking crack,and needs money and promo if he thinks hes all that let him fight Andrew Berto………….that way Berto can get a easy win
Forget talking about the racist bigot Weederman. He is going down the slummer, possibly 25 years for woman beating and child abuse, etc., etc. But with his fame, if found guilty, they may cut his jail time to three years. Just sad this stupid fool just blew out a $50 million deal a piece with the Pacman.
khans got a big mouth he says he dont trash talk then he says hes gona ko chino now he says he could beat mayweather hes livin celebrity lifestyle talkin trash while maidana is doing nothing but getting ready to tae khans head of
khan is the most hyped up biggest joke in boxing and thats a fact maidana will showhim up for what he is a chump
Even up the playing field, Floyd!!!!! Why pick on flyweights or lightweights? So Floyd can make them gain twice as much weight to slow them down in order to beat them? I know for sure Floyd wouldn’t meet smaller weights halfway……so here’s another way he can get a sure win! Step up Floyd and fight Pacquiao you bum!!!!!
khan was slagging of john murray the other night and murrays fans smashed up khans new range rover and shouted abuse at him and what did khan do hide and get a security gaurd to get his range rover out to safety cos he was scared lollol
As Khans former trainer Oliver Harrison I can only say that im annoyed that Khan dropped me as his trainer and got Roach.
I would have gotten a massive pay-day for a fight against Mayweather.
Mayweather has struggled with busy fighters (De la hoya and Hatton) particularly in the early rounds.
He’s also struggled with speed (Zab Judah)
The thing that makes Mayweather so great apart from his obvious physical mental strength is his ability to adapt to every opponent he faces.
Khan would be someone Mayweather could possibly struggle with, even more so as Khan seems to be getting better with every fight.
That been said, in my personal opinion, Mayweather’s the greatest boxer of the modern era, and chances are would win by UD or stop Khan late on. Who knows….
Floyd would make Khan quit fighting and start playing criquet.
and if mayweather takes a fight against Khan, everybody will be laghing and calling him the biggest coward of all time. Now that mayweather hasnt accepted 2 fights with pacman, he eather needs to fight someone like paul williams or sergio martinez or make the damb fight with manny, or els everybody is going to say he is afraid of loosing his zero. Khan whould hurt mayweathers legacy at this point.
the best fighter khan has beat is mallianagi, and he didnt look that impressive. Mayweather? i think not. Khan should focus on not getting KO’ed by maidana, then on cleaning up 140. If he does all that, which i doubt, il give him a chance of beating mayweather but right now its a bad joke.
Khan would not beat mayweather on any day, not a mayweather fan who has beat.
khan already looks like the biggest idiot in boxing and celebrity when maidana knocks him out with ease hows he gona look then oh yeah like he looked when presscott destroyed him in 30 seconds hes a fake chump
khan thinks he can beat maywaether he hasnt even beaten maidana lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Listen people, Golden Boy chiefs said, IF khan beats Maidana and winner of brad and Devon, then Mayweather fight could happen.
The reason for this is if khan unifies the light welterweight titles he would have proven to all the critics and haters that he is the real deal. Now if this Mayweather fight does happen, I’m guessing this will be in 2012 and Khan will be so much better/stronger/sharper etc. And in business terms the fight will make sense cause Mayweather since the Hatton fight has always wanted to fight a big fight in England, and who better then with Khan in Wembley stadium – packed with 85000 people and money from worldwide pay per view and advertisement. One similarity that both fighter have, is that they both want to make as much money as they can.
But all this is a big IF – Khan need to prove he can unify the title first.
there goes the haters talking about how khan can beat mayweather… everyone that has stepped in the ring with floyd has said the same thing. and yes barrerra is a legend but was a has been when khan beat him. obviously khan is trying to promote himself. much props to khan, but he’s letting his promotion team amp him up to get the big money. same thing they do to all fighters and then they end up getting schooled by the boxologist floyd mayweather jr.
Khan’s got the right height,….he just needs to gain a little more mass and a tougher chin. The speed is there and if he gets the right coach, it’s achievable. Moseley rocked Floyd so bad….so he is indeed hitable.
THIS KID KHAN MOST B STUPID?…MOST BE OUT OF HE’S MIND.FLOYD WILL KILL HIM ON HE’S WORST DAY lol KHAN YOUR NOT EVEN ON MONEY MAY LEVEL SO STAY OUT..
khans trying to get a fight against the cash cow mayweather u cant blame him for that but he will have he can handle against maidana in what i think is a nightmare fight for khan
i think mayweather is amazin im also british and i think khans ok i dont mind him but this time khans bein a way bit too hopefull. mayweather would destroy him
NEWS JUST IN: Khan thinks he can cure cancer.
hahahahahahahahahha got to love khan, mouth sstill moving before brain telling it to
that’s funny one if it happens. khan fights at 140…floyd’s at 147…so may’s bringing another guy up in weight to face him which will upset the hardcore.
apart from the size imo khan is a bad fight style wise for floyd. khan is most at danger or being blown away and floyd doesn’t really do that. imo that would be a surprisingly tough fight for floyd and one that he wouldn’t get major credit for if he won…hard to see why he’d do it tbh. imo you’re much more likely to see berto who is made for floyd to look good against.
Mayweather Jr will DEFINITELY GRAB this idea…another cherry picked opponent…heck, maybe Oski brought up this thought.
But for sure,,,,Roach wont be at Khan’s corner……
Some people are sooo desperate to come up any crazy idea just to keep their names updated….heck, they can even say they can knock out Tyson….
and who cares if these two meet? is Khan another “game player” under GBP’s stable now? this will be another fix fight.
Nonsense, lil floid’s going to jail for at least a year.
Typical though that the fraud would prefer to fight a guy with no chin like Khan rather than a warrior like Pacquiao.
floid’s a waste of talent for ducking all the best guys for the past 9 years while Pacquiao has been fighting only the most dangerous baddest dudes around.
He aint gonna beat Mayweather. I am a Mayrunner Hater but I will say it like it is, He is far too good in every department and I will be so happy when the Khan Con is other. I hate being ripped off, just hope the contest is clean and without corruption. I’m in Floyds corner for this one.
Dont get me wrong i wont be backing khan if he takes a fight with mayweather directly after he exposes marcos maidana as a one dimensonal brawler! However looking at khans mixture of size, speed, abilty and the massive bonus of having freddie roach in his corner i think he would make a far more intresting opponent then ethier hatton, marquez or sugar shane did!
In my oppinion khan already has the skill set and confidence needed and after he gains valuble experience with wins over the likes of alexander and bradley he will be ready to give mayweather a real run for his beloved money! Lets not forget as khan continues to improve on the way to the peak of his career, mayweather on is 33 and not getting any younger, if this fight is made in a year or 2 I would consider it a very competitive match up.
Kahn has big ambitions and there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever, I happen to think that he will be one of the greatest! You can however understand some people saying that he is not in Mayweathers league and right now that is true, but give it one more year with Kahn and in this time he will be fighting his biggest fights, first Maidana where kahn in my opinion will put on a boxing clinic and well and truely show the world what he is made of and then following this Alexander or Bradley who have both looked shabby recently! I think we need to see them both in their next fights to see what else they have and a fight between them would display this for sure! Kahn, as he suggested, should then fight the winner and in my opinion he beats either of them and IF he does win that who else is there to fight?? Mayweather!! Its not as wild as Chisora fighting one of the klitschkos!
Amir Khan is the most deluded fighter in world boxing history.
What has Khan done? NOTHING!. Who has Khan beat? NO ONE!
Id be surprised if Mayweather has even heard of the kid
the words “lamb” and “slaughter” come to mind
As much as i HATE this writer, his article is valid, Mayweather is in a different league to Khan. However, whether Khan actually saying this is true or if it’s just BS from haters looking to find an excuse to bash Khan is another stroy all together…
ha ha . see guys , floyd even when he stay away from boxing (not from troubles) turns the table in he’s favor: khan it’s just taylor made to make mayweather look really good again: there is not chance for khan to climb these wall.amir khan will lose vs maidana so mayweather wont fight him. after maidana khan will copy chavezjr and fight boxers like alfonso gomez,katsidis,ricky hatton,duddy , tomato cans .
deadscared let me tell you this mayweather is mint in what he does he ends careers ,some ppl on here no nothing about boxing or never been in a ring or anything but yet they comment what a set of weirdos deadscared is 1 ov those ppl he trembles walking down the street ya freak
@ william mackay, not so fast kid, khan can improve and he has lots of room for improvement, if he beats maidana and bradley, i bet you floyd will duck him like he ducked cotto, clottey and margorito on their prime not to mention pacquiao. some people think that because floyd is undefeated he is the best, wrong!!! Floyd is a cherrypicker. he’s a businessman now remember, he fights once a year and he chooses either blown-up fighters or old and washed-up.
Khan needs to beat maidana , then winner of brad/Alex, then victor Ortiz
Ortiz will be a good match, the guy looked like he had slot of tools and heart in his last fight and they both goldenboys! So should be easy match up
After that one fight at welter …. Berto prob to take his belt, then to be honest ……. Why not mayweather ?
If not khan in 18 months then who ? Mayweather running out of opponents I want to see him fight
yeah and then Khon woke up…. get real
it doesnt take an expert to know khan aint as good as mayweather. But with floyd-manny negotiations the khan fight is more likely to happen.
Even if he does eventually fight mayweather mckay would say
‘well he never fought bradley!’
Khan v Mayweather… Get a grip people!!!! Khan ain’t bad, but also ain’t fit to lace mayweather’s boots!!!!
Khan has more of a chance at mayweather pac cotto etc, than bradley does. The elite boxers know bradley is a bum dying for a fight
he has no chance
JOKE HA HA HA MAIDANA IS GONA RUIN KHANS CAREAR AND YOU WILL NEVER HERE ABOUT HIM AGAIN
mayweather better have a great lawyer and get the money moving…other wise his ex-girl will ko him in court.
when khan destroys maidana bradley and ortiz i dont want to see any more stupid comments because when he does that he will earn respect.. i didnt like him at the start but he is rely showing that he can go all the way to the top.. @annonamous, pacquiao is more skilled than khan, i beleive khan beats mayweather in a close fight but pacquiao destroys him
Well, if Mayweather is avoiding a fight with Pacquiao for being a threat to his record, why not take a fight with Khan for workout before Pacquiaos fight, if there will be one. If Mayweather believes Khan is not a threat and less dangerous than Pacquiao and remember Khan used to be Pacquiaos sparring partner, why not try him? If money is Mayweather concerned, Khan can gather viewers from his native and adopted country England. I´m pretty sure they will support him like they did to Hatton. Don´t tell me Mayweather will think that this will be a waste of time, it was reported before he was willing to fight Matthew Hatton in UK then to avoid negotiating with Pacquiaos team.
As crazy as it sounds i believe Khan has a much better chance of beating Mayweather than the rest, Pac man included. Pac man could beat Mayweather by pressurising and terrarising him into trading once to often, but he will have to take some heavy punishment on the way and that may prove Manny’s undoing. Khan on the other hand has the skills and speed to compete with Mayweather in a boxing chess match and win a close decision, but i wouldn’t bet on it. I believe Khan has the skills to beat anyone, but a chin that gives anyone a chance to beat him. Strange but true. Peace
Khan is smoking some of that good ol sticky icky icky bud.
Mayweather would make Khan quit fighting for good…
floyd will fight khan in england… and floyd will make 20 mil minimun on this fight.
who elce deserves a shot at mayweather at welterwaight??? i think khan dominates welterwaight when pacquiao is gone. you will see, as much as i hate to admit it i think he is the next big thing
has amir been on the crack pipe with ricky hatton?
he got hit with a lucky punch, if any fighter got that punch its lights out, why do you always go back to that?? if khan met prescot he would destroy him, he wasnt with freddy roach at the time, he was just a toe to toe fighter back then, he beats mayweather any day.. you will all see when he is offerd the fight he will make excuses.. infact i dont think he will even return to the sport because pacquiao and khan have his number. thats my opinion
Mayweather would stop Khan by TKO just like he did Gatti(RIP).
Mayweather’s to skilled for him at this point. The only thing Khan has over him is age. But Khan I believe can beat Bradley and Maidana, but I think Victor Ortiz can beat Khan though easily.
mayweather and khan will never happen cuz khan jus isnt good enough
khan would be to much for him just like pacquiao, to fresh, to elusive, just as fast.. my guess is floyd never fights these to guys and be rememberd that way.
theres 1000′s of boxers in the world to write about, why is every article you write about the same person.
i think this is a case of khan trying to get his foot in the door when i think theres a cue of feet already there. wake up amir breakfasts ready!!!
lol. how dare they even mention him in the same sentence as MAYWEATHER. khan hasnt done anything to deserve to even be talked about with bradley/alexandra. i personaly believe john murray will giv khan run for his money. ortis will ko khan should they meet. how come khans talking mayweather and not pacman, mosley,andre berto,paul williams etc.
lol this is all hype for khan.
As I said on another article this is BS! Khan won’t be fighting in September next year as he’s fasting throughout august! Khan v mayweather is trying to be built for 2012! And there’s a lot of boxing between now and then.
mayweather can bang so it depends on wether khans chin stands up to the test with the top tier guys,well find out soon,but if he does get through maidana and takes some good shots.then cant see why he wouldnt be able to handle mayweathers power .hes as fast and can box not as good defensively,it all depends on his chin.he,s got everything else just that one chink in his armour,
prety big chink though,lol
Give it a year and khan will win. After beating the top fighters of his weight division. He then deserves the fight with mayweather. Khan was a moderate pro when he fought prescott, and he only lost because he and WE knew nothing about precostt, and kevin mitchell beat prescott not so long back. Khan would murder mitchell and we all know that.
khan beating mayweather is like me winning the lottery 10 times after another and then playing for new york knicks and having kids with eva mendes. chances SLIM AND NONE
I think Mayweather chooses to not knock out his opponents. Even when there is a knock down he’ll allow the opponents enough time to recoup and basically be kept at bay.
Lindsay Stinks!!!
Khan needs to get real and remember he got taken out in 1 round not so long ago by a fighter with not nearly the skill level of Mayweather. Get pass the other fighters in your division.
Articles like these make me (Amir Khan) laugh. It sounds like the writer is talking to his friend in a local pub and not a seriously written article.
Regards
King Khan
Khan cant beat mayweather at the moment!, not a chance right now, look what happened to ricky hatton, he was useless against mayweather, although i do believe khan would be victorious over hatton, mayweather is a league above everybody, the muhammad ali of his generation. Master of all trades, jack-of-none. Let khan defeat maidana, which he will, i think he will have a torrid time against bradley, as did junior witter, although he isnt world class as if khan and bradley, meanwhile, forget khan, we want to mayweather and pacquiao dont we? Why is mayweather not taking the fight, turning down $60M in prize money? i think mayweathers afraid on manny. And i think if khan fought MP. Theres no way he could win. Unless pacquaio died in the ring!
Well I think that’s no bigger deal than beating Maidana because Maidana can knock Khan while Mayweather most certainly won’t.
