Floyd Mayweather Sr sees a proposed Amir Khan fight as an easy one for his son. He believes Mayweather Jr can expose a lot of flaws in Khan's game and that the Brit will be a sucker for Mayweather's counter right.
Mayweather Sr may be lobbying for Khan because he is the biggest name on a very short list. Other top welterweights like Kell Brook or Keith Thurman simply do not have the name value to generate interest. Fighting anyone on under Bob Arum's Top Rank banner still seems like a highly unlikely option for "Money."
“He ain’t gotta worry about no Amir Khan. Amir Khan is a joke blowing smoke,” Floyd Sr said to Fighthype.com. “He can’t out-think Floyd on Floyd’s worst day. I’m here to tell you that I’m a be there and I’m a make sure every time he throw a punch, he gonna get countered. He gonna get punished, believe me.”
I am in the minority in that I would like to see Khan against Mayweather. "King" Khan has a punch output that Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez and even Marcos Maidana don't have. He would also be the fast opponent Mayweather will have fast since...Zab Judah? I'd go as far as to say he would be the fastest opponent Mayweather Jr will have fast in his career.
If the fight is made it would not be a walk-over for Mayweather.
