Amir “King” Khan

The second fighter on my short list is Amir “King” Khan (29-3, 19 KOs). Khan, 27, was widely discussed as a possible opponent prior to both the Marcos Maidana fights.
After seeing Carl Froch and George Groves fill Wembley Stadium in May, dollar signs must be dancing through the heads of The Money Team.
From a promotional standpoint, it may be a perfect fit. Khan, who was born, raised and lives in England, would of course love a shot at Mayweather. They would have no problem putting 80,000 plus fans in Wembley Stadium. Khan does have first class skills and terrific hand speed. His biggest weakness is a suspect chin.
Add to the recipe that Mayweather has recently touched on possible changes to his team in 2015. He also made some comments that many found disparaging relating to domestic abuse so maybe now is a good time for Mayweather to take his show on the road. Khan may be the perfect anecdote.
