WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is training for his upcoming title defense against Marcos Maidana on December 11 in Las Vegas. He talks bout the fight with Maidana, his desire to unify the division and thoughts on facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2011.

Having developed your defense, something you have always possessed is power. Do you think that many fighters outside the UK including your next opponent Maidana who has been knocked down several times Victor Ortiz underestimate your power?

"I think I go into this fight with the most power. I think I have a shot to knock out anyone if I hit them clean. In the Malignaggi fight, you know I had him going a few times but the guys was just running I couldn’t catch him, but with Maidana he is going to come onto the shots and when you have someone who wants to fight you as well, it just makes the fight more exciting.

People can think what they want, but they will see a totally different Amir Khan in this fight and a different style, a better style. "

The negotiations between Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Manny Pacquiao  fighting each other appear to have come to a dead end. Now there is talk of you fighting Floyd in the future?

Yeah, I think if that fight was going to happen it would happen in about 12 months time. I want to unify this division, I want to get Maidana out the way and then fight the winner out of Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley, which will make me the unified champion at Light Welterweight. Then I would like to move up a division and fight Floyd.

I think that would work out well timing wise and if you want to be the best fighter in the world you have to fight the best in the world and I think it’s a fight people want to see. Because you know, Ricky Hatton failed when he fought for the pound for pound title and I’m sure that I can go there and become the pound for pound fighter in the world, the best fighter and bring that title back to England."
