Floyd Mayweather News

This is my chance to prove once and for all that I'm the best in the division.

I can win the WBC title and will have held three of the four belts in the light-welterweight division, so it's time to move up to 147lbs.

I just think there are more challenges out there for me in that division.

I want to be in big world title fights and in big fights with the likes of Mayweather. To do that, I need to be up in that division.

Watching Mayweather's last fight (a points win against Miguel Cotto), coupled with the way I've been training, I think I'm ready.

One of the reasons I want to move up to 147lbs is to fight Mayweather and it's not about the money, it's about me knowing I can beat the guy and be the next guy at the top, the next pound for pound champion.

Floyd Mayweather is currently serving a prison sentence for domestic violence and Khan will be waiting when he is released in a few weeks' time.

Floyd Mayweather Jr added the WBA Super World light-middleweight title to his tally with a unanimous points victory over Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas overnight.

Mayweather won by margins of 118-110 and 117-111 (twice) on the judges' scorecards to preserve his unblemished 43-fight record.

Attentions will once again turn towards the prospect pairing Mayweather with pound-for-pound rival Manny Pacquiao, but the 35-year-old American must first serve a three-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to a domestic violence charge.
