Tucked away in the city of Hayward in Northern California, former two-division junior welterweight titlist Amir Khan continues to wait to see if his name will be called for a huge opportunity to face off with Floyd Mayweather on May 3.
While not having dived into full training quite yet, Khan has been working closely with trainer Virgil Hunter in recent months in an effort to hone his skills as much as possible during his down time.
And despite not appearing to plea for the opportunity, Khan can’t deny how much the opportunity would mean to him at this point in his career.
“I’d love to fight Floyd Mayweather,” Khan revealed as we spoke following his training session. “In my opinion he’s the best fighter in the world.”

When Floyd Mayweather took to social media to ask the fans who his next opponent should be, there was definitely a strong reaction.
Mayweather threw up two potential opponents, British star and former titlist Amir Khan and Argentina’s Marcos Maidana, in an effort to get some further discussion going on his May 3 ring return inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Catching up with Maidana’s trainer Robert Garcia recently, he reacted to Mayweather’s latest move.
“You know what? Floyd Mayweather is Floyd Mayweather,” Garcia explained. “He’s the man in boxing. Why he does it? Because he knows he can do it. I don’t blame him. He’s the best at what he does. He’s the one that makes the most money in the sport. Why not do it?”
Garcia went on to add that Maidana is as deserving of a shot at Mayweather as anyone else based off of his recent run of success that has included dramatic victories over Jesus Soto Karass, Josesito Lopez, and Adrien Broner.
“Especially what he did with Broner,” Garcia reflected of Maidana’s upset this past December that left the sport buzzing and saw him crowned as the WBA welterweight champion of the world.
“Nobody thought we’d beat Broner,” Garcia added. “He not only beat him, but the way he beat him. He pretty much dominated almost every round. He not only put a beating on him but he also humiliated him. I think that win itself deserves the shot at Mayweather, honestly.”

Moments ago, inside of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Luis Collazo scored an emphatic upset win over Victor Ortiz in a battle of former welterweight belt holders.
The fight was fought at a brisk pace early, with each man having success landing sharp blows in the first frame.
The action continued to heat up in the second, and Collazo turned the tide permanently with a quick right hand in the trenches that caught Ortiz on the jaw and sent him spiraling to the canvas.
Ortiz wasn’t able to beat the count, granting Collazo with a huge win as he climbs to (35-5 with 18 KO’s). Ortiz falls to 29-5-2 with 22 knockouts and has some serious thinking to do in the wake of his third consecutive defeat.
As for the 32-year old Collazo, he didn’t waste any time in calling for a Brooklyn showdown with the sport’s top attraction, Floyd Mayweather.
