AMIR KHAN is going back to the drawing board in a bid to save his Floyd Mayweather dream.
The Bolton star was totally down in the dumps following his nervy points win over Chris Algieri on Friday night.
Khan reckons he walked out to the ring totally flat and that his 14 -week training camp had sapped him of his explosive energy.
The 28 year-old knows Mayweather would have watched him struggle and thought the Brit would be easy pickings.
So Khan will speak with trainer Virgil Hunter in the next two weeks and tell the California cornerman exactly how he feels.
He said: "We all have bad days and good days, I'm glad I got through it. Physically Algieri looked bigger than me, I did not look as big as I did in the last two fights.
"There was something there that wasn't right, I will tell you honestly. "I did feel flat, there were a few things that I did differently from previous camps.
"There were a few things I did differently in the last two weeks that I had not really done before and I was not used to it, it was a few technique things I was doing differently.
"I don't know if I got caught in between two different styles, training wise we also changed things.
"Looking back now, I think I made the weight too early, a lot of people were saying that my physique was not as it was before.
"I did not feel the same explosiveness, the speed or the power. I've not spoken to Virgil about it yet, but I will do. Imagine if I had trained this way for say someone like Floyd."
