Amir Khan: ‘Why would Mayweather even consider putting Maidana in the mix?’

As seen in an update to his personal Facebook page on Feb. 6, British star Amir Khan recently questioned why pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather is considering Argentina’s Marcos Maidana as an option over him for his May 3 opponent in Las Vegas.
Khan claimed the following.
“Why would mayweather even consider putting maidana in the mix. Slow hands slow feet. Only thing he brings to the table is power. I agree he beat broner. We seen how mayweather deals with power eg Canelo. Let broner have his rematch on the undercard of khan v mayweather. I bring speed explosiveness power and footwork to the table. Look back at quick opponents mayweather has fought in the past, Judah , Oscar delay Hoya both had speed and where close fights. Floyd did say he needs fans want to see him knocking someone out because his fights are boring. So no wonder he’s know wanting to fight maidana. I’m ready and been in gym for last 6 months. At 147 you will see a different stronger Amir khan. Ok let’s talk about the chin which I always laugh about. Killing yourself making weight makes Ur punch resistance poor. Iv been killing myself making 140 lbs and should of moved up. Day before weigh in Iv been 12 pounds over. Not good. Iv taken the biggest shots from likes of maidana with 30 Ko’s under his belt, who pple say is the biggest puncher and didn’t go down but then Diaz puts me down with a little shot. Even though my balance off an I was on 1 foot it’s cool. Il take it. So this proves weight making is the problem. Another example Angulo and ward have hit me with big shots and I’ve stood in front n not gone down They carry 25 lbs over me and are big punchers. This is because I’m at my natural weight. It’s in the fans hands who they want to c me fight. If it’s not me then good luck who. Ever it is.”

Roy Jones Jr. looks at Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan as two of the few fighters who can trouble Floyd Mayweather

By Chris Robinson
While up in Big Bear, Calif. recently, I was able to have many conversations with the great Roy Jones Jr., who was in camp assisting his friend Jean Pascal ahead of his HBO showdown with Lucian Bute two weekends from now.
When the topic of Floyd Mayweather came up, Jones instantly paid his respect to the Grand Rapids native as the best in the game today.
“In boxing today he’s the best,” Jones said without hesitation. “He’s the best marketing-wise. The best skill-wise right now. He’s just the best out there right now. And none of these guys are really equipped with enough tools to really give him problems.”
Jones did mention Mayweather’s rival Manny Pacquiao as perhaps one man who could possibly test him but is keen enough to sense that such a match likely won’t occur anytime soon.
“Expect maybe Pacquiao and that fight aint really happening,” Jones stated. “One or two other guys who could make it interesting.”
If Mayweather does end up facing off with British star Amir Khan this coming May as has been suspected, Jones doesn’t see it being as easy of a fight as many as expecting.
“It’s a good match for him,” Jones explained. “People don’t think so, but people don’t know that Amir Khan, when he’s a boxer, he’s a very good fighter. Amir Khan the slugger is no good, because his chin is a little bit suspect. But as a boxer, Amir Khan can give anybody problems.”
“And if he gets his old self back together and boxes, it will be an interesting fight because he’s tall enough, rangy enough to make it hard for Floyd to get to him,” Jones added. “Floyd is a better boxer of course, and probably a better puncher, but this kid has a big heart and this kid will make it interesting if he comes in with the right training method and comes in and tries to win.”

Will Marcos Maidana one day land a shot at Floyd Mayweather?
By Chris Robinson
When it comes to the next opponent for his son, trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. seems to have little concern.
At the moment the two names being tossed around most for a crack at Mayweather are that of British star Amir Khan and Argentina’s Marcos Maidana.
Khan is riding a two-fight winning streak following his TKO loss to Danny Garcia in July of 2012 but it is Maidana who carries more momentum at the moment with his recent upset over Adrien Broner.
Neither man is a threat to Floyd, however, claims Mayweather Sr.
“Both of them would be easy,” stated Mayweather Sr. “That’s two easy fights there. Both of them is easy. Maidana might have punching power, but you still can’t hit what you can’t see. And that’s going to put Maidana under the tree. It’s simple.”
Mayweather Sr. couldn’t let the interview finish without one last dig at Khan.
“Amir Khan has got a glass jaw, man, and if you look at it too hard it could shatter,” stated Floyd Sr.
