Amir Khan has thrown down an audacious challenge to pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather as he prepares for his seventh professional test in Belfast tomorrow night.

The bullish Bolton teenager believes he has mastered the four-round distance to such an extent he could give the American superstar a run for his money - and would even cross the Atlantic to prove it.

Khan is brimming with confidence after a dazzling start to his professional career, which extends to seven fights against Hungarian Laszlo Komjathi at a sold-out King's Hall.

Khan said: 'Talent-wise I am already one of the best fighters in the world over four rounds. I would love to have four rounds with Mayweather. I am as quick if not quicker than him and I can sustain a fast pace.'

I would definitely like to fight in the US soon and show what I can do

I heard them mention this on ITV.

Amir clearly has too many yes men round him. The boys got potential, but someone needs to smack him back down to earth, hopefully it can come from an uncle or a daddy rather than in the ring.

I hope just for the hell of it Mayweather takes this in August then fihgts in september, and beats Khan up like nobody's business.

Hamed already

You can imagine it cant you.

Floyd "On September the 16th I will beat Oscar De La Hoya. Not only this, on the undercard I will beat Amir Khan because he challenged me like a fool."

Khan is off his nut.....he would be outclassed by any good world fighter at the moment

This is one of the more ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Audacious would be "I've mastered the four-rounder, I'm ready to fight a full 12-round fight now, and I'm so confident I want the #1 P4P boxer there."

Absurd is: "I've mastered the four-rounder, but I'm not ready for a 12-round professional fight yet. Nonetheless, I'm so great in four-round beginner matches that I'm challenging the P4P best fighter in the world to fight a four-round beginner match against me.

Mastered the 4 rounder. You know Mayweather has masteredt he 20 rounder. Which means to him, 4 rounds is like one round. 4 rounds is still 4 rounds to Amir. Mayweather would utterly outclass and destroy Khan.

Seriously in his 7th fight he is sounding like Hamed already.

Butterbean was a 4 round king but he got beat in a 12 round match by a 50 year old Larry Holmes

it's because he is getting too much attention, via ITV and sold out arena's.
He needs to be brought back to earth

[SalTheButcher]

zab DOMINATED PBF in 4, kahn would get KTFO

so much for that shit i read about him not wanting to overhyoe himslef

he really lost credibility with such a rediculous statement, that makes him look scared to go longer with a real fighter

Nothing that a good knockdown wouldn't teach him

hehe....don't worry, it'll happen soon enough
Did you see the fight tonight Star?

[Purist]

No, but I see a bunch of openings on Khan when I saw one of his fights thanks to Smashup. How did he look tonight? Ready for Mayweather Let's keep in mind if Mayweather was fighting the guys now that Amir is fighting that Mayweather would just point and insult them and they'd fall down

here's my post on the other thread:

not impressed by Khan tonight
he was too sloppy when he came inside, his defence needs working on and he needs to pick his punches alot better....he thought he could just roll over the guy with these quick flurries but they weren't even going through the opponent's guard. All that did was waste energy.
He also hasn't got much power, he's still young but there are alot of improvements that need to be made.
All the showboating was irrelevent, all he managed to do was get hit.....He thinks he has the reflexes of Roy Jones but that is not the case.
