    With Amir Khan’s impressive win over Zab Judah last Saturday night now behind him, it is becoming more likely that Floyd Mayweather will be facing Khan than his Wild Card Gym training partner Manny Pacquiao.

    Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s), after his victory over Judah, now holds the IBF and WBA Light Welterweight title belts and is becoming increasingly more marketable with each fight.

    Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO’s) seems to have shifted his attention somewhat from his arch rival Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) to Khan. In recent interviews Mayweather expressed a desire to fight in Khan’s homeland of England. In addition Mayweather opened his gym to Khan’s fans, many of them English. In both instances it appeared that Floyd was giving a clear signal that he wants to fight in England, and who better to fight in England than Amir Khan?
