By Sean McDaniel: British promoter Frank Warren has reportedly offered WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan a huge money offer for him to fight his star welterweight Kell Brook next for Khan’s April fight in the UK. Brook recently destroyed Philip Kotey, and looked very good in doing so.

Khan: The Mayweather fight is the one people want to see
By William Mackay: For some reason WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) is convinced that boxing fans want to see him fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I honestly don’t see the interest that Khan is talking about from fans, because the fighter that I mostly see lumped with Khan is Marcos Maidana. Boxing fans want to see a rematch between the two of them, but for some reason Khan isn’t taking notice.
Khan wants Mayweather in 12 months after unifiying the light welterweight titles
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) has a big wish list for 2011, hoping to beat his next opponent in April, then defeat the winner of the light welterweight title clash between Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander. And then to top it off, Khan plans on fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr and hopes he’d be willing to fight in the UK.
Khan says he’ll be ready for Mayweather in three or four fights
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) still doesn’t realize how bad he looked in winning a 12 round decision over slugger Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) last weekend. Khan was on the verge of being knocked out in the 10th round when he was battered unceasingly for the entire round without throwing anything back. Many referees would have stepped in and stopped the fight, but referee Joe Cortez let the fight continue with Khan getting plastered by shots the entire time.
Pacquiao already had his chance to fight Mayweather
By Marquise Bullock: There’s been fingers pointed everywhere about the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight not happening. But where did this drama really all start? It started with the success of a 5 ft 6 phenomenon named Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Key word, success. And that success had a certain family…respectfully suspicious.
Warren thinks Khan isn’t ready for Mayweather yet
By Sean McDaniel: Frank Warren, the former promoter for WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s), doesn’t think Khan is ready to move up in weight and take on unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the near future. Khan and his trainer Freddie Roach have been talking endlessly about wanting a fight against Mayweather next year, feeling as if they can beat him for some reason.
Roach thinks Khan can beat Mayweather
By Jason Kim: Trainer Freddie Roach wants Floyd Mayweather Jr. as future opponent for his fighter Amir Khan in the worst way. Roach doesn’t seem interested in letting Khan mature as a fighter and prove that last weekend’s uneven performance against Marcos Maidana was just another fluke. Roach wants Khan to fight Mayweather next year. Khan defeated Maidana last weekend by a 12 round decision but was staggered multiple times by Maidana in the 10th, and unceasingly battered in the remaining rounds of the fight.
Khan isn’t ready for Mayweather now or ever: Why is he being rushed into the fight?
By William Mackay: All you have to do is take one look at rounds 10 through 12 of last Saturday’s bout between Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) and Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) to know that Khan isn’t ready for a fighter like Floyd Mayweather Jr. Khan, 24, was badly staggered in the 10th and took terrible one-sided punishment in the last rounds of the fight. This wasn’t the strong performance that his handlers and boxing fans were hoping it would be.
One theory on why Pacquiao-Mayweather isn’t happening
By Tommaso Nappo: Now before the writer is accused of taking one too many blows to the head himself. Or being an herbalist ( and I don’t mean oregano, or parsley), hear me out. Back in the earlier 80’s Marvin Hagler was constantly fighting for the approval of the boxing world in hopes they would give him his due as being the the best fighter of his era.
Khan looks ok against Maidana; not ready for Mayweather
By Dallan o’ Donnell: Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) made his Las Vegas debut on Saturday night in a defence of his WBA Light- welterweight title against Argentine powerhouse Marcos Maidana. Khan won a unanimous decision victory over Maidana in a grueling 12 round contest.
