By Brad Jones: Amir Khan recently said in a nutshell that he wants a even fight with Floyd Mayweather.

In an article by Gareth Davies of The Telegraph, Roach says “Amir is a great student. He absorbs, he listens and wants to learn. Amir has picked things up quicker than Manny Pacquiao. A fight between Amir and Mayweather would be a year and half away. Style-wise, it would be a great fight and I would like Amir to fight him one day, but let’s take care of the guys at 140 first.”
