Fury's Trainer: Mayweather Beats Pacquiao and Khan

By Edward Chaykovsky

Peter Fury, trainer of EBU/British heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, sees no welterweight contender out there being capable of defeating WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. Amir Khan, should he beat Devon Alexander next Saturday night, would be a frontrunner to face Mayweather on May 2nd of next year. Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, is also trying to get Mayweather in the ring with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. 

Fury sees Mayweather beating both possibilities.

"No, I don’t give Khan, Pacquiao or anybody a chance against Mayweather because Mayweather is that much of an elite fighter. I think all these fighters should be very happy to share the ring with him and get a massive payday," Fury told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"I think Amir Khan has got a good a chance as any of the other challengers. Amir Khan is a very good boxer, he has a heart like a lion. He comes forward, you got to really pin him to the canvas because the kid’s got a good fighting heart. I like Amir Khan, I just think Floyd Mayweather is just a step above."

"Every so often we get elite fighters and he happens to be one of these all time greats, he’s proved it time and time again. I think it’s not a fault or any disrespect to the other fighters he’s challenging, he’s just in that league all by himself. I don’t give Amir Khan, Devon Alexander or anybody out there a chance."
