Khan wants the winner of Mayweather-Ortiz, already looking past Judah fight
June 16th, 2011
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan reportedly wants to fight the winner of the September 17th fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz. What’s sad about this is Khan appears to be totally looking past his next opponent IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah, who is more than good enough to stop Khan and send him his career in a tail spin.
If Khan can beat Berto, then by all means let Khan face the winner of the Mayweather-Ortiz fight. But for Khan to go from facing Judah to possibly Mayweather is more than a little off putting to me. I don’t see Khan beating Judah but also don’t feel that a win over Judah shouldn’t put Khan into a big mega fight as Mayweather’s next victim. I doubt seriously that Golden Boy Promotions, the promoters for Khan, would be willing to risk his neck against Berto. As hard as Berto punches, he would very likely knock Khan out within one or two rounds. Berto has excellent power and speed to boot. He’s be a big problem for Khan.
I say let Khan fight Berto before he can get a shot at the big boys. HBO needs to make sure that Khan has to work for the right to fight Mayweather instead of facing Judah and getting a title shot. None of this really matters, though, because I see Judah destroying Khan and being the one that is a possibility to face the Mayweather-Ortiz.

Now you’re talking! If Khan wants to fight FMJ, this would be a more interesting fight than Pacquiao any day! Watching to boxers strategically go at it would be very interesting!
Right now it’s down to principle with Mayweather. Pacquiao had better take the test if he wants 25% – 40% of the largest pot in boxing history.
i saw someone comment that kahn is no where near ortiz, let me remind u he beat ortiz in ameaturs, he actually spanked ortiz do badly ortiz turned to be a mexcian, kahn bs floyd, floyd will kill him, but give khan a few fight if he beats zab than if i was him fight bradley, beat him than have a rematch with bredde and than move up
if khan beats judah,his next fight will 100% be against floyd in the uk.
Khan will say he can fly just to be in the news !! Clown!!
Khan is doing it again! Looking beyond his next opponent like he did against Prescott!
khan is going to get knocked out in the fifth. Judah is coming back he already has.
Why is this matchup farfetched? khan is maybe 2 fights away from unifying the lww division. His next challenge would be to move up weight probably face 2 welterweights before taking on the likes of mayweather.
So what about Bradley then? I don’t hear complaints about his ambitions to face pacquio
id love to see khan v floyd. khan would get spanked so bad it would be funny. it would be more one sided then the hatton fight
Im telling the public, you are looking at a different Zab Judah. This guy is not in the clubs, he eats properly, trains hard and understands this is his last ha rah. He also knows Pernell Whitaker is not going to waste his time with non sense. Whitaker and Zab are south paws, so it makes life easier as far as trainer/fighter relationships and understanding. Judah will be fast, sharp and prepared defensively. He will not fad like in the past. Its going to be a beautiful night of boxing. He will finally have the full package
Khan will beat Judah on points or by late KO..
PBF is a master boxer. No one will be able to hit him properly and because of that no one can beat him not even mr pacman. pacman is very fast and a bit of power in his punches but floyd defence is the best of all time. If ever they fight, floyd will win by a close decision. Split/or a close UD. I just hope floyd will have some confidence because I believe pacman wont be able to make any damage. believe in your abilities floyd you can do it. Just look at the fight between pacman and mosley. mosley is not as fast as you floyd but pacman was not able to catch masley after the 3rd round.
i like to apologize on behalf of William mkcay. he got abused as a kid and when he remembers what he went through he likes to hate.
Khan is a better comedian than a fighter. He has been hanging with Freddie Roach too long and has started to believe his own BS that beating a 70 year old Barrera or bums like his last outing actually count for anything in the real world. He has had one decent fight in his career against Maidana, which he was lucky to escape from in one piece and was probably helped along the way by some of Pacquiao’s special pills.
You predict Khan and most other brittish fighters to lose every single fight, why is it you only write about the brittish if you hate them so much?
Khan is no where near the caliber of fighter that Ortiz or Mayweather are… (and please don’t bring up how Khan beat Ortiz in the amature’s), if you didn’t notice, they where protective gear in those fights… Khan has barely any power at 140, can’t see him having having much power at 147… This kid is on his way to being KO’d..
You will eat your words after Kahn finished Judah.
mackay needs help
Judah too fast too powerful kahn getting kod bad
The question is what Judah will show up on the night of the fight? HE is so unpredictable, i would like to put money on this fight but i dont know because khan will outwork him as long as he doesnt get stopped
@ Dom – don’t be stupid mate they were caught chatting to each other in some mall in LA. Floyd knows exactly who amir is!
Khan is a cherry picking nobody!!!!
FLoyd has never heard of him LOL.
Judah has become a stepping stone but I still think this will be thought for khan and he better not get tired like he did against maidana in the later rounds
It won’t even be close, Khan is going to take Judah apart. Zab’s been done for a while, he’s not coming back. He talks a good game, yeah, but even he knows he’s a gatekeeper at this point.
I think Judah will put khan to sleep. I think khan needs to fight maidana again
Khans biggest problem is arrogance! Forget about Mayweather!
Focus on one opponent at a time. All these advanced predictions will bring you unstuck!Your immediate problem is Mr Zab Judah. Zab is no easybeat, he will knock you out in a flash if your not prepared! So shut your mouth Mr Khan, and concentrate on the job at hand!
Hey Mackay, I notice the picyure you used of Kahn taking a big shot Bang on the chin from the biggest puncher in the division!!!!!!!! Don’t ever make out the boy aint got a chin, Zab is gonna get battered.
lol poor guy hes only talking thats wll hes got just think wbout it do anyone think floyd would even bother to fight this bum?
on the other hand ortiz wont get the fight cuz he will loose to floyd so why not just run my mouth on wanting the winner any way i know is not gonna happend….
Jab to knock khan out cold
why shouldn’t he look past Judah, he’s gonna beat him easily
Khan has already beat Ortiz in the amateurs, William has been wrong with every prediction about Khan, and no sense as to admit it.
Amir Kahn AKA a”mere con” is much worse than Ricky Hatton. Thank God he was saved a a corrupted ref who allow Amir to hold and hold without deducting a point.
Khan would be an easy fight for Either Floyd or Ortiz.
Ortiz lost to Maidana b/c he was to brave. He could have been more patient in his attack.
Khan sneezed, william’s got it covered. Judah to get KTFO by the 8th.
Haye to clean the HW division, Froch the middleweight and Khan the welterweight. British warriors are the best!
