It’s hard to come across anyone in the sport of boxing, from the champion to novice level, who is as humble as newly-crowned IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter.
The Akron, Ohio native is never one to truly take aim at other fighters in the sport and that was pretty much the case when Porter shared his view on all of the talk of British star Amir Khan being in the running to face off with Floyd Mayweather next year.
“I think Amir is a good fighter,” Porter opened up during a recent conversation. “I think he has what it takes. We’ll see. We probably thought that about the last two or three guys Mayweather has fought.
“Mayweather is just an unbelievable athlete, unbelievable boxer,” Porter added. “And one of the greatest of all time.”
Just as quickly, however, Porter did point out some weaknesses in Khan that he sees.
“I think he’s a great fighter, great athlete,” Porter said of Khan. “But at the same time I think we’ve seen a lot of flaws in his boxing skills that we know Floyd will expose.”
Asked if he is surprised that Mayweather is still at the top of his game at 36 years old, Porter couldn’t help but to give Floyd his just due.
“I am, but when you’re blessed, you’re blessed,” Ported stated. “Simple as that.”

Is Marcos Maidana more deserving of a Floyd Mayweather shot than Amir Khan?

A swing through the Summit Gym in Big Bear, Calif. will lead you to cross paths with trainer Abel Sanchez.
Hosting a bevy of fighters inside of his facility, most notably WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, Sanchez makes for a great interview because of his straightforwardness and insight in the sport.
Knowing that I would get an honest response, I asked Sanchez for his thoughts on the buzz about Amir Khan possibly landing a shot at the game’s best, Floyd Mayweather, this coming May.
“First of all I don’t think Amir Khan deserves it,” Sanchez said candidly of the British star. “I think a guy like [Marcos] Maidana, a guy like [Danny] Garcia, deserves it more. I think Amir Khan hasn’t done enough to merit that.”
Sanchez can easily see why Khan may be next in line, given his star appeal.
“Absolutely, it’s a money thing,” Sanchez explained. “It’s a business thing, it’s a network thing. Obviously Amir Khan has a big name and talks himself into some good fights. He may not be as deserving but he may be the biggest money fight for Floyd.”
Sanchez favors Mayweather heavily if the fight were to come off and reveals what he sees in today’s version of Floyd, who at age 36 is looking just as dominant as ever with commanding victories over Robert Guerrero and Saul Alvarez this year.
“Greatness,” said Sanchez. “You’re kidding me. In our era, that’s the best pound-for-pound fighter right now. Until somebody controls him and destroys his type of defense, like Maidana did to Broner, that’s when we are going to have to question it. But right now he’s the best.”

There is an increasing buzz in the boxing community that Floyd Mayweather may end up facing British star Amir Khan this coming May 3 in Las Vegas.
Following his unanimous decision victory over Saul Alvarez in September, Mayweather has largely stayed mum on who he would prefer to meet in his next ring endeavor.
