Although Amir Khan’s goal is securing a big money showdown with Golden Boy stablemate Floyd Mayweather, another potential opponent is Robert Guerrero, who faces Marcos Maidana on August 27 for the “vacant” WBA junior welterweight title (Khan is recognized by the WBA as its “super champion). In an interview with Comcast Sports Net, Khan trainer Freddie Roach offered the below quote on the proposed bout, explaining he’d expect a very good fight despite Guerrero’s fight next month being his 140 pound debut.
Guerrero’s a very good fighter, and he used to train in my gym. He’s a very good boxer. He’s starting to sit on his punches more. It would definitely be a competitive fight and would be a great fight for the fans, but I’m confident in my guys. I get them prepared to win. I don’t believe fights should end in decisions, and I’d like for my guys to end them with knockouts.
Amir Khan is expected to return to the ring in early December. His other potential opponent is Erik Morales should the Mexican legend defeat Jorge Barrios for the WBC junior welterweight title on September 17.
