Mayweather Returns to Ring in September Against Berto

Mayweather will square off with Berto in what could be his last outing in a boxing ring. After which he picked Maidana once more for a rematch as an alternative of Khan. Best believe I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do. Khan topped the voting, garnering 57 % of the greater than 35,000 votes.

It is not the first time Mayweather has spurned Khan’s advances and the Bolton fighter expressed his dismay at the setback. His compatriot Kell Brook has all the qualities to make a major fight, while the likes of Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman would make for intriguing matchups. In Might, Khan outpointed former junior welterweight titlist Chris Algieri in a struggle that was once more alleged to be a tuneup for a potential Mayweather shot.

And had Mayweather declined to struggle Khan as a way to dare to be nice by preventing a prime middleweight – Gennady Golovkin, even at a catchweight, anybody? – that might be applauded.

In what Mayweather claims might be his final fight, and what is the last bout on his rich six-fight Showtime television deal, the reigning World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council champion will risk his crowns against a two-time world champion who has lost three of his past six fights. “Somebody is getting knocked out and it won’t be me”. With no new opponent in sight, Khan disclosed that he intends to keep up his hard work and eyes to reach the top of the welterweight division in the future.

Is Money Mayweather scared of facing a boxer of Amir Khan’s stature who has been demanding a fight with Mayweather for a long time? But anyone still feeling let down by Mayweather’s choices of opponent or the way in which he conducts himself is a fool, a glutton for punishment. That would be a huge fight for Khan’s career.

Many doubt Mayweather will settle for retiring at the same iconic record as the late heavyweight Rocky Marciano without taking a chance at 50-0.

“I’m disenchanted to not have gotten the struggle for what’s the third time after having been one of many front-runners”, Khan stated. Forget the apologists telling you he has earned the right to fight who he wants, that’s absolute nonsense and only shows how far he has devalued his sport.

Amir Khan: “Berto will give Floyd a very tough night.” Berto failed that test, suffering a torn shoulder tendon in the process, and has done nothing in the 25 months since to indicate he belongs in the same sentence with a fighter of Mayweather’s caliber.
