Carl Froch believes Amir Khan 'stands no chance' if he takes on Floyd Mayweather

Former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch does not believe compatriot Amir Khan is the man to spoil Floyd Mayweather's flawless record.

Khan, a former world light-welterweight champion, has been pushing for a big-money fight with the 38-year-old American and is hoping recent points victories over Devon Alexander and Chris Algieri can land him his shot.

But Froch is adamant that Khan's previous defeats to Breidis Prescott, Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson prove he would suffer the same fate as every other fighter who has tried to topple the WBA (super), WBC and WBO world welterweight champion.

In an interview with Lonsdale, he said: "I don't think he's good enough.

"I don't think there's anybody out there who is. That's no disrespect to Amir Khan but when he steps up, he gets beaten. People think I'm having a go at him, but I'm not.

"You can't put somebody like Khan, who's been beaten by three people, up against Mayweather.

If you're losing to that level [of fighter], you can't put him up against Floyd Mayweather and expect him to win.

"He got knocked out by Prescott and Garcia and Peterson had him down. If you're losing to that level of fighter, you can't put him up against Floyd Mayweather and expect him to win.

"But a fight is a fight. It's interesting, but I don't think he will stand a chance."

Many are hoping Khan will return to England for a fight with domestic rival and current IBF king Kell Brook, while three-weight world champion Adrien Broner has also called out the Olympic silver medallist ahead of a bout with Shawn Porter.
