Floyd Mayweather Jr. has yet to make up his mind on who to fight in his next bout scheduled on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

British boxing icon Amir Khan is still considered as the most likely opponent of Mayweather after winning in the poll conducted by the undefeated American, but Marcos Maidana is still reportedly being strongly considered.

A report surfaced on Sunday indicating that Maidana signed a contract to face Mayweather, but his camp quickly quashed the report, saying that they are still waiting for Mayweather's decision on who he intends to fight.

"Maidana is well aware that he is indeed a firm candidate to face Mayweather Jr next May 3, but the fight is far from being made or confirmed as other fighters are still also in the mix. Hopefully we will have news in the next few days but in the meantime we don't want to confuse the fans or the boxing press," Maidana's camp posted on their Facebook account.

Khan has been publicly raising his stock over the past few weeks, saying that he is the fighter who has the best chance of handing the reigning pound-for-pound king his first ever defeat.

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and former British boxing champion Ricky Hatton also said that Khan's style and speed is tailor made for Mayweather. In a recent interview with Sweet Science, Khan insisted that no fighter, even Mayweather, can outbox him on top of the ring.

"No fighter can out-box me," Khan stressed. "Floyd won't do it either. I can't see Floyd out-boxing me...he can never dictate a fight. I won't let him control the fight. I beat him with footwork and speed. I can keep up with him in many departments."

Khan also took a swipe at Mayweather, saying that the undefeated American looks afraid to fight him, knowing that he will have a lot of problems dealing with Khan's speed and style.

"Look man, if they want to fight, I'm here. OK. We're working in the gym. Floyd knows that I am preparing for him and no one else. And if for some reason he doesn't fight me, then I really believe he is worried," Khan said.
