British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs), like many other fighters, is sitting back and waiting patiently to see what Floyd Mayweather Jr. decides to do on May 2nd. Khan has yet to book an opponent, or a return date, in order to keep himself available for a Mayweather opportunity. The same goes for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, who is currently in deep negotiations to face Mayweather. Miguel Cotto is being mentioned as a possible Mayweather opponent.
