AMIR KHAN: “I’LL GET THAT FIGHT BEFORE MANNY…MAYWEATHER HAS AGREED TO FIGHT ME”

“Most of these guys are veterans. They have been at the top for a long time and become used to being there and maybe take it for granted. They lack the hunger we have. They’ve been there, they’ve made the money, and they have held the belts. We want to be in their position. Mayweather don’t have my hunger…I’ll get that fight before Manny. Mayweather’s scared to fight Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight me…but we can’t look that far ahead. I got to get past Peterson, then maybe my 2nd or 3rd fight at 147 could be against Floyd, even though he makes excuses about me being a good prospect and to fight Jessie Vargas, who I in fact watched while at the Primetime studios and he didn’t show that he wants or deserves to fight me. Brad, did you see how much punishment he took? I honestly felt sorry for him. Even if I fought him, I wouldn’t want to spoil his career. You don’t do that to guys like that; you don’t put him in with guys like me,” stated jr. welterweight champion Amir Khan, who is confident that he’ll be next in line to face undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather. In this in-depth interview, check out what else Khan has to say as he speaks candidly about Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, and much more.
