    I don't think he did know who he is.

    He had a look on his face that said "ahh ****, caught ... wearing a Union Jack hoodie and not having a ****ing clue who this Brit fighter is that this guy obviously expects me to know ... best just say something vague but complimentary",

    Even the most casual boxing fan knows who Khan is, a top 10 P4P fighter who claims he loves the sport should also.

    Hasn't Mayweather always claimed he doesn't watch boxing?

    Typical Pretty Ignorant Floyd. He knows, he just pretends he doesn't.

    I suppose he should, seeing khan is a wight class or two lower. Depends how old that interview is

    You can see 'Mayweather vs Marquez' posters on the wall in the background, so I'm assuming that it was just before the fight, when Floyd flew over to the UK to put on a public training session or whatever. I remember it being on Sky News.

    Yep its midly amusing.:D
    Probably because i was expecting something highly risible and you were not.
    If you hadnt mentioned it, and i wasnt expecting anything, it would possibly have had more impact and seemed funnier.:good

    Maybe he should have known then as he came to UK to promote his fight too. If he did or didnt doesnt really matter. Either its him being cocky Floyd or just had no idea

    Hmm, after a bit of digging, I found this 2008 article:

    'Ricky Hatton's nemesis, Floyd Mayweather, has an ominous message for the Hitman. "Tell him I went easy on him because I kinda like the guy, but if we fight again at Wembley, which is what he wants, I'll really turn it on. There'll be no mercy this time." The chilling warning was delivered in Las Vegas to Amir Khan, when the Commonwealth lightweight champion spent an educational hour in Mayweather's flamboyant company before the Calzaghe-Hopkins fight.

    Khan was invited to Mayweather's gym for a workout and was surprised when the welterweight champ, recognised as the world's supreme fighting machine, offered advice. "I couldn't believe it," Khan says. "He seemed to know everything about me, where I came from, who I'd fought, how many knock-outs I've had.

    "I went on the pads with his uncle and trainer Roger, who told me what I was doing right and a few things I was doing wrong. Then Floyd got into the ring and said, 'No, do it this way'. They made me do it 10 times to get it right. Floyd complimented me on my speed and power and showed me some defensive stuff. I really learned something new. It was fantastic."'

    ..........


    So does Floyd just have a crap memory? To be fair, I suppose he did mention the gym thing...vaguely.

    Don`t spoil it,i thought he was quite funny.Khan won`t get near beating Mayweather or Pacquiao,they`d definately be the fighters to pop Khans brittle chin.
