\"KM\"<\/a>“Floyd Mayweather, JR. is dodging this fight (Karim Mayfield) & Manny Pacquiao beat him hands down!”–Buddy Ruffin, JR., Coffeyville, KS, President of the Karim Mayfield Beats Floyd Mayweather, JR. On Any Given Sunday Fan Club – 147,167 members and growing in numbers by the day.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After pound for pound king Floyd \u201cMoney\u201d Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) mentioned Karim \u201cHard Hitta\u201d Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 KOs) as one of his possible opponents for his final contracted fight with Showtime, the San Francisco native says is ready to step up and give Mayweather his first loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always ready to fight anyone anywhere,\u201d said Karim Mayfield. \u201cThe fact that the great Floyd Mayweather has mentioned me as someone he wants to fight in September is music to my ears. It would be an honor to fight Floyd in Las Vegas. He\u2019s done a lot for the sport and he\u2019s arguably the best fighter to ever lace em up. My last few fights have been at 140 pounds and I know the extra weight would make me more powerful. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 pounds and gave him his only KO loss. I\u2019m very powerful and comfortable at that weight. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. My trainer Ben Bautista and I have a game plan we know will be successful against Mayweather. I\u2019d give Floyd his first loss in a highly explosive fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set for September 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, along with Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) are fighters Floyd Mayweather has mentioned as potential opponents. Karim feels he\u2019s the better option.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo disrespect to Andre Berto, he\u2019s a good fighter and we have a mutual respect for one another, but he\u2019s not as durable as I am. Berto has two losses against opponent\u2019s Floyd has already defeated. I\u2019ve never been dropped, battered or bruised in any of my fights. I bring a rough style to this fight, a style the fans want to see Floyd up against. In addition, the Bay Area is a big media market and I know all my fans here would rise up and support me. My brother La Ron and I, who are independent, sold out my last fight in San Francisco. I\u2019m confident we can bring a big crowd to Las Vegas. It\u2019s only an hour flight away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs), who\u2019s been begging to fight Mayweather since 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield feels Amir is an easier fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I sparred Amir Khan at Virgil Hunter\u2019s gym, I put hands on him,\u201d Mayfield declared. \u201cSo bad that Virgil had to stop the sparring sessions. Khan has also been brutally knocked out twice by Prescott and Garcia. The man has no chin and he wouldn\u2019t last twelve rounds with Money Mayweather. He\u2019s definitely the safer route.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayfield, who\u2019s been in camp with Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito and Danny Garcia to name a few, has all the experience needed to give the fans an entertaining fight. He\u2019s beaten many undefeated fighters and has a unanimous decision win against Mauricio Herrera.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can deny my heart and determination to fight the best,\u201d Mayfield continued. \u201cI\u2019ve been the ring with everyone. I soundly beat Herrera, I whooped Pacquiao and Khan in sparring. Shawn Porter refused to step in the ring when he had the choice to fight me or Erick Bone with only one day notice. A lot of fighters have ducked me because I\u2019m a serious threat to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayfield feels the fans want to see Floyd Mayweather give an African-American fighter a chance to dethrone him. Mayweather\u2019s last seven opponents have been either, Mexican, Argentinean, Filipino or Puerto Rican.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s time for the fans to see Floyd give a brotha a shot.\u201d Mayfield concluded. \u201cShane Mosley and Zab Judah gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
