Amir Khan vs. Floyd Mayweather Jnr coming to a stadium to near you
By Saqib Khan: As a fan of Floyd Mayweather, I believe he is the greatest fighter of his generation. The science of his defence and his willingness to succeed and train rigorously for every fight makes him one of a kind. But on the other corner there is Amir Khan, a fighter who is unified world champion still fighting his critics and still very hungry to get world recognition from fans.

By William Mackay: Ricky Hatton feels that WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) has a decent chance of beating undefeated welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr if they end up tangling next year. Hatton points to Khan’s style, which he thinks would work against Mayweather, and the fact that Mayweather is getting older. Hatton thinks these two areas would give Khan a good chance of getting a win over Mayweather.
