Mayweather Sr: Hit Khan's Chin and His Ass is Gone!

By Edward Chaykovsky

Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has serious doubts that Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) will be able to pull through on December 13th, when he faces Devon Alexander at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will headline a Showtime televised tripleheader.

If Khan wins, he will likely be a frontrunner to face Floyd Sr.'s son, WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) in the first half of 2015.

Khan is a very technically sound fighter, but his chin is often called into question. And Mayweather Sr. believes Khan's chin will be his downfall against Alexander. The British boxer is looking to make a big statement that night, with the hope that Floyd Jr. is next.

"I don’t know if Amir Khan will get through it or not but I know Amir Khan’s got a glass jaw. I know once you hit it, it’s gonna shatter all over the place. If you hear me Alexander, just do like I told you, hit him on the chin and his ass will be gone. He won’t be around long," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"Honestly, I can’t see Amir Khan getting past anybody. He comes from England but I’m just saying, I don’t see where he’s whooping nobody. Who is he whooping? Who has he whooped? What names has he whooped?"
