Amir Khan's trainer Freddie Roach is adamant that the cancellation of the fight with Lamont Peterson will not throw the Brit off course in his hunt for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Khan had been due to face Peterson on May 19 for the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles, but that contest was scrapped after it was revealed Peterson failed a drugs test.

The Bolton fighter is now expected to be back in action in late June or early July against WBC king Danny Garcia, who beat Mexican legend Erik Morales in his most recent outing.

The WBA and IBF crowns are also expected to be on the line, and Khan will hope to leave the 140lbs division with three titles.

If he does that, he will represent an enticing welterweight opponent for Mayweather, who said before his triumph over Miguel Cotto last weekend that he was keeping a keen eye on Khan's progress.

And Roach feels that a battle against Mayweather, the unbeaten American often called the planet's pound-for-pound king, is very winnable for Khan.

"If it's Garcia, Amir will be too fast and hard-punching for him," Roach told the Daily Mail. "Whoever it is, we'll do this one more fight and then go up to welterweight to look for Floyd Mayweather. I see Floyd's legs beginning to go [at 35] and him slowing up a little. If we get him as early as December, Amir can beat him."

How overrated is Freddie Roach as a trainer? This is insane

Extremely and he doesnt teach defence, you can see why Mickey Rourkes face got fukked up.

His Parkinsons is real bad now.It was either during the build up of the Manny/Marquez or Khan/Peterson fight, where his arms and head were shakin like a bobble head doll.

The way him and Khan were sayin about how Peterson could of seriously damaged Khan because of the drugs he was takin was just

Cant wait till Kel Brook KO's him the fukk out

I was at my barbershop the day after Peterson/Khan fight was cancelled. We were talking about Khan, we all came to the consensus that dude would be a fukking beast if he had a damn jab. He would not get hit by anyone. I dont think he would lose if he had a jab, yet Freddie would rather him fight like Manny instead of using his physical traits.

Every time I see people hype up Roach I just look at them like

Why would ppl expect roach to teach defense for? If you ever seen his fights there's a reason why he ended up with parkinsons

Dawson and Ward . Dawson could barely handle an old ass Hopkins, what's he gonna do with a much younger version? Ward is the smaller man, but I see him bullying Dawson in that fight. Dawson don't have the mental strength to handle a fighter like Ward.
