Khan "im full of admiration for floyd, that was his best performence in 3 years.

Khan is realistic about his prospects against the finest pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and one of the greatest of all time. "I am full of admiration for him," he said, "and I can't understand people booing him at the end because he didn't knock Guerrero out. It was a terrific performance, a work of art.

"He is the best boxer in the world, without question. If someone is going to have a chance against him, it is someone with speed, and that is my best asset. So I do have a chance – with my speed and explosiveness. I would trouble him.

"It was good for him to have his father [Floyd Sr, whom Khan considered joining three years ago when he moved to America], because his defence is back. It is the best he has looked in two or three years.

"Remarkably, maybe prison [two months last year for domestic violence] was good for him. People forget that boxing is the art of self-defence, ideally hit and not be hit – and maybe we should all think about that a bit more.

"We like to entertain, but it is not our duty to do so. I have had a lot of exciting fights and been hit way too much, so that is something to think about.".
