British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) says WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) made a big mistake when he passed him over earlier this year in favor of Marcos Maidana.
Khan says he is now a much better fighter than he was earlier this year, gaining a lot more experience with dominating twelve round decision victories over former welterweight champions Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander.
"Floyd has just seen that he made a big mistake putting off fighting me earlier this year,’ said Khan to Daily Mail. I’m a much better boxer now than I was then and I’ll be even better if we do fight next May."
"I’m not the complete package yet. I need to make some small adjustments. Technically, it’s about angles in the ring. Then there are small things like looking at my opponent instead of the referee when we’re told to break. Small things but they can be important if you’re not protecting yourself at moments like that."
But the way Mayweather is talking lately, it appears that Khan is going to get passed over again.
