By William Mackay: WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan was in a feisty mood today, slamming both Marcos Maidana and Timothy Bradley on his twitter page.

Here is what Khan had to say about them: “I know Maidana never wanted to give [Victor] Ortiz a rematch too. [Timothy] Bradley will always be a b***h but if he decides to grow some balls and fight me in December, I’ll give him the respect for stepping up before I b***h slap him all over the ring for making me wait. Never heard of Jessie Vargas until Floyd Mayweather mentioned I have to fight him. He looks good, yes, but only had 16 fights. He’s a prospect.”

Khan wants to fight Bradley in the worst way, likely because he’s small at 5’6″, not a big puncher, and holds the WBO light welterweight title. Khan wants the belt and wants to fight the guy that was/is considered to be the best fighter in the division. However, Bradley wants to wait on a bigger fight against Manny Pacquiao rather than take the small money to fight Khan. He’s not going to waste time fighting Khan when he could be fighting Pacquiao in 2012.

Khan wants to fight Mayweather, but he may have to meet Mayweather’s requirements that he fight the up and coming 22-year-old Vargas before he’ll fight him. Mayweather made that condition recently, and it looks as if Khan is considering it. It’s a dangerous fight for Khan, because even though Vargas is inexperienced and young, he can really punch.

Vargas is dangerous with either hand, and he’s a Maidana-type of fighter. If Khan takes on Vargas, he could find himself getting knocked out and then never getting a fight with Mayweather. This is why Khan will probably decide against the Vargas fight and just keep calling Mayweather out over and over again, hoping he’ll drop his conditions for fighting him. Vargas is the type of fighter that Khan struggles against, so he’ll probably avoid him like he’s been avoiding Breidis Prescott and Maidana rematches.
