Amir Khan signs for fight with Floyd Mayweather – destiny or destruction?

Many fans questioned Amir Khan to why he would turn down a fight against the former IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander however those question marks will soon be resolved as Amir Khan comes inches closer to fighting the pound for pound king & recently awarded boxer of 2013 by ESPN… Floyd Mayweather Jr.

If you’ve followed Amir Khan’s career his biggest dream was to fight Floyd Mayweather, well looks like dreams do come true as he has officially done a statement which Daily Mail published:

‘I am the one who signed the contract, I’ve signed my part of the contract, they’ve not signed theirs,’ he said. ‘If he wants to fight Amir Khan then he should sign it.’

Once Mayweather signs the deal, the fight is expected to take place on May 3^rd in Las Vegas.

Many people doubted Mayweather would never take up the challenge of fighting Canelo Alvarez… but he shocked the world by announcing that fight last year and what a thrilling performance it was, he made yet another champion look very ordinary playing with Canelo for the full 12 rounds, making him miss then making him pay winning a majority decision.

Boxing critics have said time and time again Amir Khan can cause Floyd Mayweather problems with fast speed and footwork around the ring. Also not to forget one of the best trainers in the business Virgil Hunter on his side to draw up the best possible game plan against Mayweather – what are your thoughts on this? Does Amir Khan have what it takes to put a dent to Mayweather’s legacy? My personal opinion is YES he does (don’t shoot me) I believe Amir Khan has learnt all his lessons from his last 2 losses and is as hungry as ever whereas Mayweather is slowly declining – I would not be at all surprised if Khan’s speed surprises Mayweather on the first round however we all know Mayweather’s best asset is that he can adjust to any style within seconds.
