Amir Khan has thrown down an audacious challenge to pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather as he prepares for his seventh professional test in Belfast tonight.
The bullish Bolton teenager believes he has mastered the four-round distance to such an extent he could give the American superstar a run for his money - and would even cross the Atlantic to prove it.
Khan is brimming with confidence after a dazzling start to his professional career, which extends to seven fights against Hungarian Laszlo Komjathi at a sold-out King's Hall.
Khan said: "Talent-wise I am already one of the best fighters in the world over four rounds. I would love to have four rounds with Mayweather. I am as quick if not quicker than him and I can sustain a fast pace non-stop."
Khans talkin shit,he'd get his ass kicked all day if he was ever to step in wid Floyd
Khan isnt seeing Mayweather right now, and to challenge him to 4 rounds is pathetic.
I could have guessed what you were going to say just by looking at your sig and avatar... :rolleyes:
I want to see this fight Khan vs Floyd but it would not make sense for Floyd to take it.
Nothing for him to gain by fighting Khan. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/images/faces/ok.gif
khan is calling out floyd because he know the fight wont happen
yes, and that is why it is a panzy move.
You have no right to call a fighter/Champion out until you get into the top 10, and even then, I only like it when the guy is in the top 5 because that is a more realistic chance.
Amir has to earn his right at Floyd...it is not like he won a Gold medal, at least then I will say he deserves a little more credit
Floyd doesn't fight 4 round fights, why? because he is not an amatuer, he is a Pro fighter that is a Champion.
How dare Khan speak his name and Mayweather's in the same sentence.
Kahn, with his skinny neck, I will go out on a limb and say his chin will show that it is not made of iron.
who's to say in an amateur, 4 round, exhibition bout that khan couldnt take floyd?
on that note, its a stupid, silly-ass challenge. i like this amir kid, and i dont wanna see him get fucked up cuz his head's too big.
on the subject, like an above poster wrote, khan's starting to believe his own hype. if he really thinks that he can, now, hang with pretty boy, and its not a publicity stunt then hes not crazy. hes stupid. hang with floyd, dude, c'mon we all know you can't.
floyd demolishes khan - via unanimous sodomization.
Hey 2tough why do you say he's cocky and an ass? I live in the states and have only seen like 2 fight's of his and the clip's ppl posted,just wanted to know what makes you say that?(Not saying you wrong just wanted to know)

LMAO
whata fukin kid
its like someone calling out some champion motocross star to a 20ft race with training wheels and helemts
grow some balls
he should say what he really wants to do
spar with him
I dont think hes calling out floyd cause he knows it wont happen (well it wont not yet anyway) I think that cause everyone has bigged the lad up,i feel hes starting to believe his own hype which is dangerous. It happens.
