Everyone is assuming that Khan will beat Devon Alexander this weekend, but that isn’t a certainty given Khan’s background.
Assuming Khan does win, he will likely get the golden ticket to fight Mayweather. Here is what Oscar had to say via Boxing Scene.
“One thing for sure is that as Amir Khan’s promoter, I’m going to push as hard as I can to get that Mayweather fight, because that’s what he deserves. I truly feel that if a Manny Pacquiao fight doesn’t happen next year for Floyd, then he has no choice but to fight Amir Khan, especially if Amir Khan has a spectacular performance. I mean, the public are demanding it. The fans are demanding it and that’s how we have to push it. I truly feel that Amir Khan fighting a Mayweather, Amir Khan’s style can give a lot of trouble to Mayweather,” De La Hoya said.
Oscar has thought everyone’s style would give Mayweather problems for the last 8 years.
