Floyd
Mayweather mocked British boxer Amir Khan in his post-fight press
conference, but conceded that he could fight the Bolton-born fighter
next.
Mayweather
saw off Argentine Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas on Saturday night, and
could finally meet Manny Pacquiao in his next fight.
But
the American admitted that fighting Khan at Wembley is still an option,
despite unfavourably comparing Khan's record to his own.
Mayweather, posing with his belts, stressed that his record as a champion is much better than Khan's
'Amir Khan
is a solid, good competitor, he's a good fighter,' said Mayweather. 'We
don't know who I'm fighting right now, we don't really know.'
'I'm not rushing. If that fight happened to come my way then we'll make it happen.
Asked
if he was showing signs of aging, Mayweather joked 'I felt good. I
can't really say what age I felt, I felt like the winner.'
'But
Amir Khan's a good fighter, of course. I mean I think when Amir Khan
was an amateur, I was champion. And then when Amir Khan turned pro and
got knocked out, I was champion.
Then
when Amir Khan got knocked out again I was champion. And then when he
lost his belt again I'm still champion and I'm still right here.
