Trainer Virgil Hunter is confident that Amir Khan's speed will create some problems for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs) - if a fight is finalized between the two boxers. Khan (28-3, 19KOs) revealed on Monday that he signed his end of the contract to face Mayweather on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather has yet to sign his end of the agreement, but all of the signs are point to a showdown with Khan.
"At this point I don't have a plan [to beat] Floyd and I may not even have a plan for him leading up to the fight. Sometimes you just don't need 'a plan' - you need two plans. Right now the fight hasn't been confirmed so my mind is not on it. Once the fight has been confirmed....quite naturally we would have to use Amir's assets to make noise in the fight. If assets are very uncanny and his speed can throw anybody off, including Floyd. If we can get his dedication and commitment up, [and combine that] with his speed, it will be a very interesting fight," Hunter said.
