Matapos magwagi sa puntos laban kay two-division world titlist Devon Alexander noong Linggo, agad inamin ni Briton boxing superstar Amir Khan na mas mahihirapan siyang harapin si eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao kaysa sa itinuturing na pound-for-pound king na si Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Sa panayam ni Carlos Boogs ng BoxingScene.com, iginiit na gusto niyang makalaban sa 2015 sina Mayweather pero asam din niya ang pay-per-view showdown sa dating sparring partner at ka-stable sa Wild Card ni trainer Freddie Roach na si Pacquiao.

“Manny Pacquiao is a tougher fight because he is more explosive and has more power while with Mayweather, it is more a game of chess,” ani Khan. “ They are both great fighters and both big names. I want to be in the hall of fame one day and I want them to say that I am a great fighter. I need those type of fights.”

Para kay Khan, ang kanyang estilo ay malaking problema kay Mayweather dahil wala pang nakahaharap ang Amerikano na kasing bilis niya sa ibabaw ng ring.

“I have proven in the boxing world and in the 147-pound division how good Amir Khan is. I really belong with the top guys and it’s all about getting that big superfight,” giit ni Khan. “I really believe I have the style to give Floyd the biggest problems. Floyd has never fought anyone as quick as me and someone who is quicker than him so, yeah, I definitely want the fight.”

“I think Floyd knows that as well and he will think it’ll be a tough fight for him and I will cause him problems. That could be why the fight hasn’t happened,” dagdag ng Briton. “I know it’s a fight the British public want but at the moment I want the big names like Mayweather and Pacquiao.”
