By John F. McKenna (McJack): WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) thinks that WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. will continue to make excuses to avoid fighting WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s).

Khan believes that as soon as one issue is resolved such as Mayweather’s demand for Pacquiao to “take the test”, Floyd will come up with another excuse. The excuses could range from anything that Mayweather chooses to use at any given moment and that his ardent fans would swallow as a reason that he would not have to fight the Filipino icon.

In an interview with Fight Hype Amir gave examples of the excuses that Floyd may use:

“Oh, the purse split ain’t fair,’ ‘Oh, the gloves,’ ‘Oh, the rings too small,” Khan said “So I feel there’s always an excuse.”

In response to Floyd Mayweather Sr’s assertion that both he and Pacquiao use performance enhancing drugs (PEDS) Khan had this to say:

“Freddie (Roach) only trains guys he wants, so he’s saying that Freddie is giving every one of us something. That’s ridiculous.”

Khan has made no secret of his intention to fight Mayweather sometime in 2012. Amir has also said that he is willing to take the random drug and urine testing that Floyd demands.

“I’d agree to the random blood testing. In fact, I’ve been tested random many times,” Khan said.

In the past Amir has questioned whether Floyd will duck him as he has ducked Pacquiao.

Apparently Khan is attempting to preempt Mayweatther ducking him by agreeing to the Olympic style random drug testing in advance.

Khan’s slightly arrogant and cocky demeanor is ideally suited to cope with Floyd Mayweather. It is thought by some that Floyd’s recent 4th round KO victim Victor Ortiz was beaten before he ever stepped into the ring when he allowed Mayweather to get inside his head. Ortiz unraveled when Floyd started applying the pressure, hence the infamous head butt, after which Victor left himself unprotected.

Khan’s last fight at light welterweight will be on December 10 when he defends his titles against Lamont Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KO’s) at the Washington D.C. Convention Center. Khan will then move up to the welterweight division, to prepare himself for what he hopes will be an eventual showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
