Khan roars at 'chicken' Mayweather

 

Amir Khan doubts he will ever get to fight Floyd Mayweather Jnr because the veteran American is terrified of losing his unbeaten record.

 

Mayweather makes his long-awaited return to the ring on Saturday against Victor Ortiz, a talented opponent - but one who is not expected to pose a serious threat to that perfect record.

 

Although Manny Pacquiao remains the man that people want to see Mayweather face, the bout remains a distant prospect - as does Mayweather v Khan, with the Brit told he must first defeat Jessie Vargas.

 

And now Khan has accused his rival of ducking all the fighters who might ask him serious questions. "In my opinion, Mayweather is a chicken. He is doing everything to avoid me just as he did everything to avoid fighting Manny Pacquiao," Khan told the Sun.

 

"I don't want to sound cocky or arrogant but I believe the real reason for Mayweather avoiding me is that he knows I have his number. Mayweather knows if he ever fights me his 0 will go.

 

"All Floyd does is pick fights that he knows he will win. I thought world championship boxing was about proving who is the best but if he keeps turning his back on me how can he still say he is the best?"
