Floyd Mayweather Jr has sent out a series of tweets during the festive period of him defeating proposed opponents, with Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao featuring in the pictures.

Talks of a bout between Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao have been rumbling on for years, with disputes over the terms of a potential fight and drug testing hindering the chances of a fight between the pair.

And the name of Khan has also been a potential opponent for Mayweather Jr, with the latter recently saying in an interview that a fight with Khan would make sense from a business perspective, and that he admires his qualities.

However, Mayweather Jr has labelled Khan a "con artist", posting this picture on his Twitter account:
