Amir Khan has stated that he is not very interested in fighting Floyd Mayweather, even if the American decides to come out of retirement.
Mayweather retired last year, after equaling Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record with a win over Andre Berto in September, but hinted at a comeback when he attended Badou Jack's fight against Lucian Bute on Sunday.
Khan is preparing to take on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez for the Mexican's WBC middleweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday. When asked about the possibility of fighting Mayweather, he replied: "Do I want to fight Floyd Mayweather with all the messing around he's given me?
"He messed me around a lot so I don't think I'd take that fight. He messed me around, so I'd probably treat him the same way''.
"Floyd's probably missing not having his picture on the MGM. He must see my picture and Canelo's picture and think, 'People have forgotten about me'. As soon as you say you're retired, we do forget about the people who say that.
"Mayweather's feeling that now, he's feeling like no one's talking about him, that he's old news, and maybe that's why he's trying to get everyone supporting him again by sayingn 'I want to make a comeback'. "Whatever Mayweather says, let him say it".
