By Edward Chaykovsky

British superstar Amir Khan is convinced his style of fighting, combined with his physical dimensions, would present the biggest problems in the welterweight division for Floyd Mayweather Jr. We are on the verge of the biggest announcement in boxing, for Mayweather to face Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

During the WBC's December convention, Khan spoke with numerous legends of the sport. Khan claims those fighters told him he was the only fighter capable of taking Mayweather's undefeated record out. 

Khan has tried to get a Mayweather since 2013.

"I really believe I have the style to give Mayweather the biggest problems. Pacquiao is good and it's a fight people want to see but the style I have would give him more problems. I'm long, I'm tall and I've got that range, speed and power, everything Mayweather hates. The top boxers in the world from Sugar Ray Leonard to Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler have said Amir Khan is the only guy can who can beat Mayweather," Khan told The Sun.
