"First comes the fight in April, then the unification of the light welterweight division in the summer and then, hopefully, a move up to welterweight with the fight against Mayweather taking place next year. I want to be ready for him and that means another 12-15 months of development. After Ive beaten Mayweather and defended my welterweight crown a few times, there would be just one final goal to achieve to become world light-middleweight champion." Amir Khan Khan wouldn't be able to beat Mayweather in 2015.
He wants to have his last 2 fights at 140, and then immediately fight Mayweather in 2012. He should first be fighting easier opponents at welter and see how he does before even thinking of fighting Mayweather at Welter.
I agree with you but we cant really blame the guy for being ambitious and wanting to face the best guys out there its much better for boxing then if he would have choosen to avoid them, the ko earlt in his career might have been a good thing for him. I think he will fight someone at 147 before, his team and golden boy wont let him. If he fights last in december he can still fight in march and then face mayweather in the summer. If floyd wants it of course.
Do you think he is retired then? I think he will keep doing this vacation thing until it eventually backfires when father time catches up. He is obviously staying in good shape out of the ring, If you retire why not live the good life. Floyd isnt done yet, maybe if his legal problems prevented him he might stop otherwise I think we will see him back this year.
Take it for face value, I mean this is the same dickhead who said Maidana never really even hurt him atsch
Floyd has to whoop the guy in your avatar's AZZ before he does anything else. If he's not even coming out of retirement to whoop that guy's AZZ, why would he come out for Amir?:nut
That fight was too crazy son. Maidana surviving a liver shot. Amir running for his life and staring at the clock. roach threatening to stop the fight.:nut
In one year khan will be about as marketable as hatton was. This fight would sell out in the uk. Khan might be the next superstar, it could be a fight with the unified 140 king would make a lot of money, mayweather would make sure of that. Plus I think he knows there are a lot of holes in khans defence and his chin is shaky, mayweather might think he can wear him down and tko him in the end. In one year if everything goes right khan will be exactly the person for him to fight for easy big money. ( I personally think khan will have a good shot next year but im just stating what I believe fits mayweathers criteria of opponents). And if not pac,martinez or khan who else will he fight that makes him big money.
I doubt it very much....he's obviously a good boxer with great speed etc but he's also always one decent punch from ***** st. Hatton in his prime was a far better, more effective fighter than Khan. Amazing people are talking like this, it really is.
Mayweather-Amir would be big right now. If stupid **** like emmanuel-marg can sell, $-Amir can sell easily.:thumbsup
