"I spoke to Floyd Sr. Bro, it was funny this conversation we had," stated former world champion Amir Khan, who responded to recent comments made by world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. Apparently, several days ago, a mutual acquaintenance put Mayweather Sr. on the phone with Khan, and when the subject of a potential fight with his son came up, it didn't take long for the conversation to get ugly. Although Khan hinted on his official Instagram page that he may release the audio from their conversation, thus far, he has yet to post anything. During an appearance at yesterday's Broner vs. Porter open workout, a fired up Mayweather Sr. spoke to several reporters about the incident. FightHype.com reached out to Khan to get his take on the encounter.
AMIR KHAN ON "CRAZY" CONVERSATION WITH FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.:
He said, "You ain't fought shit. You ain't fought no one." I go, "You don't know shit about boxing." I'm using his own lines on him, brother. I go, "You don't know shit about boxing, Floyd. Why's your son fighting guys who I've already beaten then if he's really that good?" He goes, "You got beat!" I go, "Well, the best fighters in the world get beat. Maidana was beat. Maidana got beat, but your son still fought him. Victor Ortiz was beat, but your son fought him. All these guys your son is fighting, they've all been beat, so what makes me different?" He's like, "Aw, well, yeah, you fucking don't know shit." Aw, I killed him, bro. I go, "Look, I like you, I respect you, but I just think that the fight should happen now. And look, what I'm gonna bring is, I'm gonna bring a lot to the table as well. I'm going to bring more to the table and I'll give your son a better fight than Pacquiao did."
