Amir Khan says that Floyd Mayweather has verbally agreed to fight him

By Dale Clark: Amir Khan is once again talking about a possible fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2012. Khan has today told Sky Sports news, ‘After Lamont [Peterson] I will move up to fight at 147lbs (welterweight). I will have one more fight at 147 and then fight Floyd. This time next year could be the big fight for me. I have ambitions and one of them is to fight Floyd Mayweather and beat him, but I have got Lamont Peterson to beat first. I know I have to focus on this one fight because one mistake can change your life and I don’t want that to happen’.

I think Khan could give Mayweather problems with his movement and hand speed. However, I do think that at this point in both careers Mayweather still wins with his class and experience and Khan still has too many holes in his game. Respect has to go to Amir Khan for wanting to step up a weight and take on the pound for pound best in the world. Good luck to him.

  • noel says:

    how can you trust the word of a liar?

  • kken says:

    @Kamote, Yes I do as far as him touching his ex-girl and the poking of the security guard?? LOL!! Poking of a security guard????? Kamote, stop it…..it’s plain to see that the security gaurd is trying to get PAID!!!!! Poking?????? Lol, c’mon. But Kamote I doesn’t matter what you or I say it’s the American way, INNOCENT until……hell you know the rest!!

  • BillyD says:

    If not, don’t get your hopes up.

  • kAMOTE says:

    @Kken

    Do you honestly believe that Floyd didnt hurt his ex-wife or poke a security guard? It’s an act of felony but nope until proven guilty, yet for most people believe he’s guilty.

  • BillyD says:

    “Pacquiao, you’re next”. Isn’t that verbal enough. Let Floydie sign the dotted line, then you can say the fight is on.

  • kken says:

    @what, Floyd doesn’t hawe a FELONY on his record!! Soooooooooo what FELON are you talking about?? No no no….answer the question, what FELON are are you talking about??

  • koko says:

    hey look its big mouth lol

  • polo says:

    @im cool…. What would be better is a 4 fight tournament. Khan vs berto ortiz vs maidana. Winner fights each other then winner of tournament gets floyd. That would be hot. And for all those who keep praying for floyds downfall get a life and stop being haiters. The man has done more in his life then most will do in a hundred.

  • kyle says:

    verbal promise? ppl will not buy it.

  • rolman says:

    dont take the voice of the LIAR seriously. he lied before, and when he lie, he do it on his own, because that is his nature, and he loves to lie, so as his followers.

  • modus says:

    What happened to the talks about May fighting Martinez? Seems suspect that Martinez pulls out a KO and all of a sudden May wants to fight Kahn? Did I miss something, and who cares about a verbal contract, didn’t May say Pac was next? Why would he fight someone trained and conditioned by the same team as Pac but not Pac himself, this whole round and round is getting really lame. Like listening to a bunch of school girls talk about fighting each other at this point.

  • What? says:

    Floyd Mayweather Foundation is about to be audited – UH OH, more trouble for the felon.

  • im cool with says:

    how bout khan vs ortiz winner gets floyd and that should make great ppv# for the winner i like it

  • crottyruh says:

    Wow…. there’s a bully in here

  • APBrooklyn says:

    Verbal??? Verbal??? Verbal??? need i say more….Like the verbal rematch with ortiz? Im a Floyd fan but Verbal means NADA! however I can see this happening if it gets enough Hype…but not for a WHOLE YEAR…if not more. Floyd by KO…

  • Brusa says:

    A couner puncher vs an outboxer … its the perfect scenario for one of the most boring fights in boxing history, i wouldnt be surprised if khan makes his retirement after this fight (whos obviously going to be a Loss)

  • crottyruh says:

    Much as I don’t like Floyd fighting style and arrogance… but I don’t see Khan having the slightest chance to win against Floyd. Boring fight should it happen.

  • BoxingFan says:

    would be a great fight….make it HAPPEN!

  • The Fighter says:

    only Manny is the dangerous fighter in the division at present, thats why Floyd is lack of confidence to fight and beat him, his antics and alibis are sign of fears!!!

  • riz says:

    khan has no chance, but would be an intersting fight

  • Rusty says:

    @gahdlei – why would losing to Mayweather prove that Khan is overated? isnt mayweather considered the best P4P fight ing the world? Does that mean that ever opponent of Flloyds thus far in his career is overated because they didnt beat him? Stupid comments man, stick to badmington discussions or something in future!

  • jeff says:

    He’s not fighting mayweather to beat him, he’s fighting him to make money.

  • gahdlei says:

    Yeah, just curious to see who can takes on his first fight at 147. Most likely it’ll be some chump to make him look good, then Mayweather will totally destroy him and show the world how overrated Con is. Look forward to him getting busted up!upward

  • Hook & Jab says:

    I have seen quite a few of floyd fights and I have never seen him pick apart. I curious to know what has Kwan did that anybody can say that he will be picked apart. This is the hardest guy in boxing to hit. The problem for Kwan is…he has terrible accuracy and terrible balance. He was just throwing himself around the ring with Judah. He has a questionable chin. He lacks the skills and the patience that it will take to beat a guy like floyd. This is not even close to being a good fight for Kwan. Kwan is going to take alot of punishment off floyds counter punches cause Kwan boxing skills are weak. The only thing floyd is worrying about is can Kwan beat someone that will take him to atleast the #3 p4p list so he can make some money off him.

  • boxingisart says:

    Khan will demolish Floyd gradually .he will pick him apart as the fight progresses

  • zdrx says:

    it will be all mouth…no fists.

  • zdrx says:

    floyd verbally agreed…i can see a grand verbal fight.

  • Hook & Jab says:

    Floyd would have to go to the UK if he did take the fight cause nobody in the US would pay to this fight. Kwan is like any other boxer. He wants to get a big payday. They all know where the money is. Floyd has all the skills Kwan wishes he had.

  • Hook & Jab says:

    This guy Kwan is a joke…What has he done. Who has he beat? The big question is…is he gonna be able to make floyd 50 mil. If not the fight won’t happen. Nobody gives him a chance in hell at winning but can he do something to make it exciting. Nobody nows because has hasn’t beat anybody. This is a waste of boxing fans time.

  • #1floydfan says:

    Khan do you wanna get koed by Mayweather so early ??hahaha!!………pedman is next when he decides to take the RBT . Khan 1st fight Matthysse then Bradley than we will see if your chin has gotten better.

  • mr famous says:

    Dont hold your breaths!! floydie only fights when
    he needs money!

  • polo says:

    easy money for floy.d. Im hopping for a martineZ match

  • YoungGovna says:

    Here we go again with khan running his mouth. I bet he wont call out Sergio or Prescott remember the one who knock u out. Revenge that lose khan! oh i forgot your just all talk. Talk is cheap real talk

  • danman says:

    do yourselves all a favor,dont ever bet against floyd.might as well throw the money out the window.

  • danman says:

    khan got no chance against the best

  • Sax says:

    First, Mayweather waxes Khan easy. Khan is good but who has Khan faced that equals a Floyd Mayweather
    Second, I actually think Floyd takes this fight b/c Manny aint happening anytime soon b/c Arum wants that Bradley/Pacman fight. Plus that English fans bring Money and Money loves Money.
    Third, pump the breaks on this fight until you hear it from Mayweathers mouth. he fight who he wants when he wants and he just made a mint off the Ortiz fight so it might be a year or two b/f Mayweahter needs the cash again
    Fourth, Mayweather still got cases pending so he needs that cleared up too.

  • dan says:

    floyd is NOT the p4p, Manny “pac man” Pacquiao is!

  • Patrick says:

    Fight = “This time next year.” That means Floyd can fight Pac for a tune-up early next year.

  • big_bad_wolf says:

    what is khan smokin or was he dreamin khan learn how to fight first and then learn how to bring in some money stop thinkin the champ is going to fight you

  • VENOM says:

    verbal agreement?? c´mon don´t be naive

  • NJ Rebel says:

    If Mayweather & Khan fight that would be a real test for Floyd I would Love to see that fight happen in the U.K.

  • lexiwins@yahoo.com says:

    this dude amir is HIGHLY SKILLED AND WILL BE FLOYD BEST TEST BOXING-WISE EVER…HE HAS HEIGHT SIKLL AND AN I.Q. TO GO WITH HIM…IF FLOYD WERE TO BEAT THIS GUY MANY COULD SAY HE’S THE BEST BOXER TO EVER LACE EM….AND FLOYD WILLLLLLLL BEAT HIM…PBF AKA $-MAY ALL DAY…
