Amir Khan: Kell Brook is Begging, But Not on My Level

Amir Khan is not paying attention to the challenges of his domestic rival, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook. Khan is hunting for several potential names for a planned return in May - Brook is not one of them. Brook defense his title next month in Sheffield against mandatory challenger Jo Jo Dan and won't be capable of coming back with such a quick turn around. Khan hopes to land either Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao. Both of those fighters are currently negotiating to fight each other.

At this point, British superstar Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) wants a big name, any big name, for a planned return in the month of May. Khan is willing to face any of the top available names at welterweight and even called out WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto for a catch-weight fight at 155-pounds. In recent months, Khan has actively pursued welterweight title fights with both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. There are ongoing negotiations for a May fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, with Khan universally viewed as a 'Plan B' option for both boxers.

Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs), who just moved up to 147-pounds last year, is hinting at another move. Khan went to his social networks followers and said he was willing, immediately, to accept a fight with WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) at a catch-weight of 155-pounds. Khan and Cotto were recently confirmed by Showtime Sports head Stephen Espinoza as being the backup options for Floyd Mayweather Jr. - if Mayweather is unable to reach an agreement with Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) already has backup plan in place - if the ongoing negotiations to make a fight with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao fall apart. Stephen Espinoza, the top man at Showtime Sports, says Mayweather is fighting on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - with or without Pacquiao. The Filipino star is Mayweather's first option, but Espinoza says there are two others. If the Pacquiao fight falls through, then top welterweight contender Amir Khan would become an option and so would WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.

Hall of Fame former referee Joe Cortez, who now works as an expert analyst for ESPN, was very impressed with Amir Khan's twelve round decision win over Devon Alexander from last December. Up next? Cortez wants to see Khan face Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) in a rematch. Khan (30-3, 19KOs) fought and beat Maidana by way of a close twelve round decision in a very close and exciting fight in 2010. Khan is now chasing a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Cortez, who refereed the British boxer's fight with Maidana, wants to see them mix it up for a second time to determine Khan's value as a future Mayweather opponent. Maidana fought Mayweather twice in 2014, losing two twelve round decisions.

The negotiations are far more serious than they've ever been, but British star Amir Khan highly doubts that a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight will happen on May 2nd. Khan has a stake in the outcome as he wants to fight both of them in May. He personally met with Pacquiao two weeks ago in London and the two former sparring partners had a pleasant conversation about facing each other this year. Last Tuesday, Pacquiao met face to face with Mayweather in Miami and the two of them had a productive conversation about fighting in May.

Amir Khan's last performance made a big impression on veteran trainer Robert Garcia. Khan (30-3, 19KOs) dominated former two division world champion Devon Alexander over twelve rounds last December at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Prior to that match, Khan dominated former champion Luis Collazo. Trainer Virgil Hunter is tightening up Khan's defense and has him significantly cutting back on taking unnecessary chances. Khan would often leave himself open during exchanges, which led to disaster in the ring.

They indeed discussed the possibility of face each other - if neither of them was able to secure a fight with Mayweather on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) is planning to fight in the month of May. He hopes to face either Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao around that period, but those two welterweight champions may end up fighting each other. That leaves Khan with a very big option, a domestic fight with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, who is pushing to get the Bolton fighter in the ring. Brook is first defending his title against mandatory challenger Jo Jo Dan on March 28t, and Khan believes his domestic rival will not be ready in time for a date in May.
