By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) hasn’t given up hope that he could still land the big money fight he’s been craving against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) on September 12th, even though all signs point to Khan not getting the fight. Mayweather hasn’t exactly been leading Khan on by making the 28-year-old fighter think he’s going to be his next opponent.
Mayweather has said that he’s interested in facing Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield next, not Khan. As such, Mayweather can have a clear conscience in the next few weeks when he eventually makes his announcement about who he he’ll be facing next.
