FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. DISPUTES AMIR KHAN:

In a recent interview with The Daily Star, former world champion Amir Khan once again stated his case that he should be next in line to face undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather. "When he trained me one time, he said 'You'll be the guy to beat my son'," Khan commented, suggesting that even Mayweather's own father, world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., once told him that he had the tools to give Floyd the first blemish on his perfect record. There's only one problem with that statement. Mayweather Sr. denies ever saying that to Khan.

"He's a liar and that's the biggest lie on the plant. I had a meeting with Khan at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas in 2006. He gave me an autographed book about his life and his time in the Olympics. We had a meeting and he wanted me train him," Mayweather Sr. explained, recalling an initial meeting the two men had when Khan was first looking for a new trainer to work with. "Amir Khan was accompanied by his dad an he wanted to be trained by me, but it never happned. I never trained him. He ended up going with Freddie The Joke Coach Roach."

When FightHype.com reached out to Mayweather Sr. for his response to Khan's comments, he emphatically denied ever making such a statement. "I never ever said that he could beat my son. I never ever have said that any man alive could beat my son. Amir Khan has a glass jaw. He's not good enough, nor is anybody on the planet good enough to beat my son. He just wants to get a payday befoe it's all over with. That's the only way he'll be able to live comfortable like he wants to live. If he's going to continue telling lies, keep in mind, that's how lawsuits happen," Mayweather Sr. added.
