Khan "Im not ready for Mayweather yet"

[acdc]

Amir Khan does not believe that taking on Floyd Mayweather in his next fight would be in his own best interests.

The WBA world light welterweight champion plans at least one more defence of his title before considering stepping up a division to take on 'Money' Mayweather at welterweight.

Khan told BBC Radio: "It's a possibility in the future. A lot of people say I want to fight Mayweather next.

"I want to fight Mayweather in 12 months. It gives me time to mature and to get more experience.

"Hopefully around April I want to get one more fight in before I unify the division."

Khan would also like the contest to be on home soil. "Before the end of 2011 or even in England at the beginning of 2012," he added.

"The interest would be huge in England. I want to bring the biggest fights over here. To get a Mayweather to fight in England would be a huge success."

Last week the Bolton fighter successfully defended his title for the third time with a thrilling points victory over Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas.

Khan needs several years more experience before he should even be considering this.

[Pu$$yKiller]

IMO Khan can win at least 2 or 3 rounds now.

Then he will get stopped by late if he gasses.

He needs to learn a lot to face someone who can pick up on his flaws.

Khan is not the finished article he is still work in progress and his defense is really lacking. He won't be ready for Mayweather for at least 2 to 3 years.

[Las Vegas,]

If Khan can beat a name, then the winner of Bradley/Alexander, then go up to WW a beat a guy there(perhaps a Shane Mosley) That's when I'd consider him ready for Mayweather. He needs to get a few names under his belt.

Khan has never said he would fight Mayweather straight away. I can see this happening though. Simply put, May will fight someone who is a draw so that he can make all the money he can. Once/if Khan unifies the 140lb division amd has a fight or two at ww, then why not?

Im a huge mayweather fan, but would also love to see Khan-May down the line. No matter how many people say needs his whole life to prepare are just being idiots. May is getting older and less active eacj fight. This could be massive down the line if Khan can come thorough with big wins.

Bradley is going to WHOOP his ass that is unless CORTEZ is the referee .........

[Las Vegas,]

Bradley is going to WHOOP his ass that is unless CORTEZ is the referee .........

Nah, Bradley would lose via DQ. Headbutt to the chin is illegal bro.

[-EAGLE-]

Would love to see that fight but it's to early though... he needs to fight some big names in order to get the mayweather fight
