The problem that he showed problems with Lamont Peterson, who is NO where as fast as Mayweather; shows that his statement is false!

Amir Khan has once again re-iterated his belief that he is ready to fight Floyd Mayweather.

Khan, who takes on Danny Garcia in the early hours of Sunday morning with the WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine light-welterweight titles on the line, inists his future is in the welterweight division.

The Briton's controversial defeat to Lamont Peterson in December has delayed his career plans by six months but Khan is once again looking to bigger nights in the future.

And that inevitably leads to talk of a clash with Mayweather, the dominant figure at anywhere between 147 and 154lb. [Click Here To Read More]

what a dumb ass thing to say

I don't think Khan can even make it through 12 rounds with guys like Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto, and I think Josesito Lopez has a shot at beating him too. I don't think he can beat Bradley or Alexander either.

Khan beating an old, 35 year old Mayweather is a long shot if I can't even see him really dominating any of the guys I mentioned. Cause I know the possibility of him winning one of those fights is there, but as far dominating any of those guys, I doubt it. But when it comes to Mayweather, forget it. He wouldn't be close to winning.

So I can see him beating Lopez in a tough fight, sort of like the Maidana fight, but closer to the Peterson fight which was tough to score. I think Khan should prove he's at least a top 10 WW by beating any one of Alexander or Ortiz.

Not only would Khan lose at welterweight, Mayweather would force him to get schooled at junior middleweight.

Kev I think Lopez beats him, Lopez is tough, has a chin and throws better combinations than Maidana. Khan is delusional man, mentally delusional. I hope Garcia gets him...

Khan (Post fight): "I don't know Larry. We planned to get him at his weakest moment in his career. Right after his jail stint, but we underestimated him royally. He's still sharp as a tack in a wooden box at a discount store."

Larry: "Do ..... you ....feel that ...... you might beat him in a rematch, perhaps?"

Khan: "No Larry, that's a dumb and silly question. I don't even think Pacquiao will beat him at this point."

Larry: "Thank you Amir. Well, there you have it folks. The Pakistani who thought he could beat Floyd at his weakest point in his career, and found out otherwise. Back to you, Jim and Emmanuel."

Khan is also not doing himself any favors by saying this. Let's say he does beat Floyd, fans will just use this comment against him. He's been saying this since 2010. That he wants to catch the best, when they're no longer at their best, that includes Floyd. That's a cowardly thing to say and he doesn't care. If you big up some one[like Floyd did with Cotto], and show respect, and say it's gonna be a tough fight and you have to be at your best to win. Then if the win happens, the fans will respect it more than if you downplay the fighter and call him old and past his best.

So Khan is basically shooting himself in the foot in this one. 1. He's calling Floyd old and slow, so if Floyd beats him, he'd have lost to an old, slower fighter. 2. If he beats Floyd, he just beat an old fighter. And you get little to no credit. The only guy who would get credit is the old guy, Floyd Mayweather. For beating the young guy that was downplaying him and underrating his skills because of his age.
