Khan wants to fight Mayweather in England
October 19th, 2010
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) is still dreaming of fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr., despite having the toughest opponent of his career Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) facing him and prepared to knock him out on December 11th. In the latest boxing news, Khan, speaking with the Manchester Evening News, says “I want to bring the big fights back this country [England]. The Floyd Mayweather fight would be one of those…The Mayweather fight could definitely happen in England.” I’ll believe that when I see it.
I can see Mayweather being open to fighting Khan, because he would have less to fear from him compared to Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather might jump at the chance of making big money the easy way by knocking off Khan before Bradley or Alexander does it first. However, it’s going to take a minor miracle for Khan to escape the Maidana fight without getting knocked out, because Maidana hits very hard and he’s going to be head hunting in a big way to try and knock Khan out. He knows that Khan is vulnerable to hard shots, and he’s going to be hitting him as hard as he can with every punch.
Khans says “After the [Breidis] Prescott fight, I changed everything. I got with the best trainer [Freddie Roach] in the world and you can see how my style and body shape have changed over the past two years. And I can still get better.” Khan has done well since being knocked out by Prescott, but he’s done well against fighters with zero power that have been matched against him by his promoters. Khan hasn’t been put in with any big punchers, so it gives the impression that he’s improved. However, it may just be the case he looks improved because he’s fighting guys with zero power.

Khan
Mayweather is out of your league mate he’ll destroy u without even trying
THIS IS THE GUY WHO LOST TO PRESCOTT, KHAN’S A JOKE
He needs to take PRECOTT back to England!!
Everybody wants a shot at mayweather. Who cares? Khan doesnt deserve a shot at that kind of money yet.
TOUGH LOVE KITTY THERES NO MORE PAULIES IN YOUR FUTURE. 4 FIGHTS FROM NOW KITTY KHAN WILL HAVE 3 LOSES. MAYWEATHER MUST BE IN STICHES AT THE THOUGHT OF YOUR BLOWN UP SELF IMPORTANCE.
People need to read what he said not what these writers feed you! He said mayweather fight in 12-15 months that means 4 more fights for khan to mature and for mayweather to age. By that time it will be a good fight even thou IMO mayweather is the best fighter I have ever seen in my lifetime.
its funny why you put down khan, and you people always go back to the prescot fight, so what if a fighter loses 1 fight, why do people put down realy good fighters when they make one slip up? i dont follow any particular fighter, im a boxing fan, i follow fighters that give 100% in the ring, khan is one of them fighters, beleive it or not haters, when pacquiao is retired khan will be the pound for pound king, and you will still hate on him even then. i think most of the khan haters are jelous and the other half just dont like him wich is understandable but dont hate on his skills because this guy is going to take evry one apart
mayweather may hit woman but i don’t think he would hit a little girl like kahn….no offence to mayweather i’m still a big fan
kahn must still have concussion from prescott when he got pumped in the first round ha ha the first round i hope maidana takes it easy on this punk and doesn’t kill him so i can see khan get more beatings because now i think he deserves them.
I like Kahn a little better than Mayweather but come on Kahn your projecting way too far off dude. I don’t think a guy of Mayweathers standing is gonna let you dictate anything…What is with these English guys and the self grandure.
that’s right, pac haters. manny will get his 8th title whether or not you think it’s fixed and he will be in the books for your kids and grand kids to see. future boxing fans will search for boxing greats and manny pacquiao’s name will be always be in the list. floyd’s 42-0 will be easily forgotten for many boxers have the same undefeated status. drool and dwell on that pac haters, there’s nothing you can do about it.
floyd got arrested for woman beating and margo for hand wraps. pac got caught with…that’s right! NOTHING.
MacKay- if you deleted my post you eat sh*t
Khan hasnt beaten any one yet and hes talking about mayweather? its some kind of joke, or a good way for gbp to rake in a bunch of money.
i think its delusional for people to think khan would lose to Maidana Bradley or Alexander …. the anti british hype is old and not fooling anybody
money on maidana is money lost sorry
Allot of people want allot of things. Who cares it doesnt look like floyd wants to fight anyone especialy some english nobody.
In my entire life have I ever dreamed of beating up smaller guys. This “A Mere Con” is a piece of work. I hope Maidana destroys his career. What a LOSER!!!
I could almost see Mayweather doing it tho.. its easy 20 mill for him as long as Khan tajes drug tests lol
People are confusing confidence with delusion. If Khan thinks he can beat Floyd then he clearly is delusional. Personally I hope he gets all these big fights he’s asking for because I can’t get enough of watching the kid get knocked out.
why not, every one has dream,
I think Kahn is afraid to fight in the US he did not want to fight maidana in the US and now he wabts mayweather in England. Kahn is just nor interested in buildin an american fan base and i don’t see mayweather guvung in to his request and fighting in Kahns native land.
Yeah the boy is soooo up his own arse it shocking!! I Hoping Maidana will put a stop to this nonsense for good!
Khan & Mayweather is this a joke????????????????
Ha, people don’t give Khan enough credit. He is going to beat Maidana. Maidana doesn’t train hard enough, he had a life and death fight with Demarcus Corley. I think he also has a decent chance at beating the Bradley/Alexander winner. That said, Mayweather would school him harder than he schooled Mosley and Marquez. But I do appreciate Khan’s confidence, because I think it’s sincere. He seriously thinks he can beat Floyd, lol. You gotta like genuine confidence in a fighter.
& I want Pacquiao next……
F*ck Off Khan you overhyped weak azz chin bum, Mayweather would teach a life long lesson about Boxing & Pacquiao would send you into a coma.
This Khan guy can’t even beat Bradley.
khan would have to win his next fight and beat the winner of alexander bradley. and will have to beat a welt. mayweather bradley is more likely or floyd vs. martinez if he beats williams. at this point in his carear if floyd cant make 40 mill off u he wont be fighting u.
khan so arrogant what excuses will he have when maidana kos him bet he gets a fight with old man morales and when he beats him hel say hes best in world again who cares amir
And muhamad Ali wants to fight Vitali Klitschco in May.
Khan has a very long way to go if he wants to face Mayweather. That’s not going to happen any time soon.
This guy reminds me of a guy from England who thought he was the best ever, then ended up been embarrassed to the point that he quit boxing (prince Nassim Hammed).
But that’s boxing now a days, more talking than actions. Khan can become a good fighter, I have only seen his most resent fight and he looked pretty good, the issue is that he needs to be told by his people that he isn’t ready to fight guys like Mayweather Jr. I think he would do much better against the rookies, Alexander & Bradley than Floyd because of the simple fact that Floyd in my opinion he is the most skillful fighter around, in addition to his experience.
The bottom line is, Khan can very well end up like his “paisano” if he doesn’t stop this non-sence, EMBARRASSED & RETIRED!
Khan should beat maidana if he keeps his chin tucked away, needs to beat every top fighter in his weight division, such as devon alexander etc, for mayweather to even think khans good enough opposition
mayweather has always said he wants to fight in england. i dont see why he wouldnt. khan would get killed anyway. and im sick of khan worrying about a guy who might never fight again. why doesnt he worry about his next opponent. althought i think khan will win, its a tough test. tell him to shut his mouth.
mayweather vs khan would be closer than pac vs mayweather
It could happen…Floyd might take the fight 2 years down the road..he has other fights on his plate they he’ll probably address but Khan isn’t even in his rear view right now.
* SMASH *
David Haye, I think whenever he fights he has a similar style to me where he’s very exciting. He pushes 100% in the ring and he gives the fans a good fight to watch.
this is kon on the radio does this guy watch any boxing and haye as a similar style to him lofl retard
hhaaahahaaha This boy is so funny
hahahahah
he needs to worry about his up coming fight
Mayweather is popular over here in Britain. He did appear on Sky Sports last year and say he wants to fight in England. I will be hoping Khan can get past Maidana so we can see this fight
hmm
when that pacy boy will be quit
Oh shut up Khan, you’re gone after Maidana, You won’t even be able to get a fight with Mathew Hatton.
