AMIR KHAN wants a showdown with Floyd Mayweather before the pound-for-pound king calls it a day.
Bolton boxer Khan was ringside in Las Vegas last weekend to see unbeaten Mayweather, 36, beat Robert Guerrero.
And he took to Twitter afterwards to talk up a clash with the WBC welterweight champ, who has now won 44 out of 44, including a demolition of Manchester’s Ricky Hatton in 2007.
Khan, 26, has unfinished business with Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson, who inflicted two of the three defeats of his 31-fight career.

Khan has to get the world to believe that his chin can withstand a WWs punches. So far, he has failed miserably and he has yet to fight a strong WW opponent!
I'd lose respect for Floyd if he fought Khan.
Or any other 140lb welter weight.
I mean theres nothing left at 147 unless he wants Devon or Bradley.
then I guess that you already lost respect for Floyd because he has fought guys that never fought at 140/147 at WW. Most of his fights were against guys that have just made the leap to 147.
Even Showtime brought up that advantage in Floyd's last fight.
Khan the con artist
This guy needs to stop calling out the P4P king and start beating B & C level chumps first. Why does golden boy continue letting this guy talk when he still has unfinished business with Prescott, Peterson, and Garcia? This boy has to earn his strips before of even thinking of fighting Floyd. Maybe he is still concussed from the left hook Garcia landed 4 months ago.
Khan in his career as a whole has done enough to fight Floyd, its just setbacks that made people feel he hasnt earnt the right. But has khan done less than Guerrero really?
JMM earnt a shot at floyd though he didnt have to even have one fight at WW, so its different rules all the time. JMM earnt his shot by losing to pac contstantly.
Dont make out as if it is that hard to get a fight with Floyd. YOu get a shot if Floyd wants you as simple as that.
Slumdog millionaire swears he can beat Floyd. How many times have we heard this old gag? A mere insect, trying to have a go at a lion my brothers! When will these mortals learn??
If Floyd don't fight Canelo and they both keep that Sept. 14 date you can easily see them taking Khan into serious consideration for another PPV event.
They would be looking for the fighter that can give them the biggest ppv sales and other than Khan who else is out there? Unless they make the fight a non ppv fight and it is broadcast on free TV
The fight would be funny as even if Khan was ahead on the scorecards, I could see Mayweather just opting to beat him down instead. He is accurate enough with his punches that need be he could stalk him for the KO. That being said Khan wouldn't be ahead on the score cards late into the fight.
i honestly see this as one of floyds more dangerous opponents. floyd isnt a devastating one punch guy. khan presents a style mayweather hasnt really seen. someone who is longer will athletic ability to match and mabye even more than floyd. dont get me wrong im still picking mayweather. this is a tougher fight for floyd than canelo. canelo fight goes the same way baldomir fight. that size dont mean nothing. floyd would pick alvarez apart. khan and alexander and timmy are all tougher fights for floyd than canelo. styles make fights.
you can't be serious... this is a joke right??? he almost lost to julio diaz who has no power... imagine mayweather throwing those counters... a 12 year old can wobble khan if he hit him flush... mayweather will continuously hit him flush... khan isnt even longer than mayweather... mayweather has a 1" reach advantage and he's naturally stronger... this fight would be worse than guerrero... if julio diaz can time his punches what do you think mayweather will do... please think before you speak

Julio Diaz isn't a devastating one punch guy, but he had Khan on queer street. Mayweather would spank the **** out of Khan. He's a fighter who cannot adapt, a fighter who tires down the straight, a fighter who cannot take a clean punch, a fighter who lacks one punch power, a fighter who cannot fight on the inside, a fighter who is easy to time. The list goes on on and on, Floyd would beat his ass, the only thing that interests me about this fight is the prospect of it occurring in the UK, to that end Khan should fight Brook and the winner fights Floyd at Wembley.
As crazy as it sounds i agree, its a really good match up
Bull**** it is.
If Floyd declines the Khan fight and fights 5 more times over 2 years his career is going to still be going when Khan is destroyed by a lesser fighter and retired.
No way in heaven or hell Khan can win more than 1 or 2 consecutive fights without getting knocked out if the competition is world class.
Floyd may not have one shot power but neither did half the guys who decked Amir and Floyd would catch his with shots he didn't see coming. Floyd would buckle him just like the so/so shot on the neck from Garcia that Khan made look like an Earnie Shavers right hand.

Khan should first avenge his loss to Garcia at 140 and then move up to 147 and fight alexander or bradley. Then if he can beat all of them then he can talk about a Floyd fight
The world is talking about this fight? It's official Khan is a drug addict.
Why post a comment that doesnt make sense? I guess its official-you are a dipshiz
