By John F. McKenna (McJack): With Amir Khan’s impressive win over Zab Judah last Saturday night now behind him, it is becoming more likely that Floyd Mayweather will be facing Khan than his Wild Card Gym training partner Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather-Khan
Warren thinks Khan isn’t ready for Mayweather Jr.
By Sean McDaniel: Frank Warren thinks WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) isn’t ready for a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. at this early point in Khan’s boxing career. Warren should know better than anyone, since he’s the one that has promoted Khan for most of his pro career up until recently when Khan moved over to Golden Boy Promotions. In an article at Thesun.co.uk, Warren said “Khan is making a name at light welterweight, but it is a good division and he has not proved he is number #1 yet. To fight Mayweather he might have to go to light middleweight, which would put him at a severe disadvantage.”
Khan thinks he can end Mayweather’s unbeaten record – Does anyone believe him?
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) wants to get a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions wants to see Khan face Mayweather as well. In an article at the Times, Khan says “I would love to fight Mayweather and I believe I can end his unbeaten record.” I wonder what gave Khan the impression that he has the ability to beat Mayweather?
Mayweather vs. Khan more likely than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
By Joe Mitchell: CEO of Golden Boy Richard Schaefer says Amir “King” Khan is only a couple of fights away from a mega fight with Floyd Mayweather Jnr. He believes he has a great chance if beats big punching Marcos Maidana and unifies the titles against the winner of Tim Bradley vs. Devon Alexander. He will then no doubt be P4P ranked in the top 10 and be a bigger draw worldwide than he already is now.
