    Amir Khan: “I think Floyd Mayweather will avoid me like he’s avoiding Manny Pacquiao and other fighters out there”

    by Geoffrey Ciani (Exclusive Interview by Jenna J & Geoffrey Ciani) - Last week’s 137th edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio (brought to you by CWH Promotions) featured an exclusive interview with the reigning unified WBA/IBF junior welterweight champion of the world Amir “King” Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) who is coming off a very impressive fifth round knockout victory against “Super” Zab Judah (41-7, 28 KOs). Amir spoke about his victory and his future and touched on a wide variety of subjects including Timothy Bradley, Floyd Mayweather versus Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero versus Marcos Maidana, Erik Morales versus Lucas Matthysse, moving up to welterweight, the Super Six Finals matchup between Carl Froch and Andre Ward, Wladimir Klitschko’s victory against David Haye, and more! Here is a complete transcript from that interview:

    JENNA J: I do believe it is time for our final guest of this week’s show. He is making his seventh appearance with On the Ropes. We’re joined by the unified WBA/IBF junior welterweight champion of the world, Amir “King” Khan. How is everything going today Amir?

    agree, as much as i would like Khan to win, he would get schooled by FM. his best chance is to fight FM in a couple of years when he is entering his peak and FM is entering his twilight but i doubt FM will still be around then!

    Not sure you know. At times last night a young ortiz had Mayweather on the back foot like iv not seen him before. I dont know if it was ring rust but in my opinion Khan is much faster than Ortiz and could have troubled him if he got in the situations Ortiz did.
    There was a lot of talk that Khans next oponent should be Vargas who is part of the Mayweather Stable, he fought last night on the undercard. After watching his performance, Khan would blow him apart anyday!

    Chandtara bro u have to also bare in mind that floyd wasnt counter punching....he was head hunting. soso i wouldnt look too much into it. khan moves side to side and isnt as straight on as ortiz. mayweather would counterpunch khan into submission.

    It wouldnt be as one sided as people think. Khan is a much improved fighter under Roach at Wildcard. Floyd doesnt throw many combinations at a time, as you said he relies on his counter punches to get him through. But if Khan keeps busy with his fast hands i can see him pushing mayweather on to the back foot and causing a few problems. Its that Michigan wall they have to get past though. That defence is solid and usually leads to the downfall of the opponent. Leads them to making mistakes and no one better in the game at the counter punch then Money.

    Khan will have problems with quality fighters on domestic scene like kel brooks. khan has looked good but not really battle tested againstboxers in their prime.

    Amir Khan is a very good boxer and hes getting better and better, the way he spanked Judah was impressive but this is Floyd Mayweather we are talking about, hes the best in the world right now, its FM 1st, Manny 2nd and daylight 3rd
