    Default Khan: Where's Thaxton?

    Lightweight contender Amir Khan (15-0, 12 KOs) says nothing has been heard from British lightweight champion Jon Thaxton since December 8 when he stopped former Lonsdale belt holder Graham Earl in just 72 seconds at the Bolton Arena. "In the past Jon has always been saying that he'll be the first to beat me, but I've heard nothing since I destroyed Earl, who's a much better fighter than Thaxton," said Khan. "Before the fight I said I'd retire Earl, and I'll do the same to Thaxton. Jon's a good fighter but he's not in my league. I'll be too quick and too strong for him, and I can't see the fight going the distance.....sadly I think there's more chance of Thaxton turning up on the side of a pint of milk than getting in the ring with me." Khan, 21, is due to box again on February 2 at the ExCel Arena, London.

    Con is to skilled for Thaxton. Con needs to get off the domestic scene and fight some real contenders

    Exactly, Yuri Romanov would be a good step up and get him the EBU belt

    He'll surely be a step up from the walking corpse that was Earl

    Theres loads of Lightweight's that he could fight.

    Miguel Angel Huerta
    Almazbek Raiymkulov
    Edner Cherry
    Yuri Romanov

    Etc,

    If he does fight Thaxton next and wins, then its seriously about time to step it up and forget domestic level.

    amir has just turned 21 for christs sake, and had what 15 pro fights, cant think of to many guys in boxing that are his age and at his advanced stage already in his carrer... i can remember a huge number of people on thius forum saying Earl would KO him!!!

    He should fight thaxton next as its the next logical step in his carrer, by the end of 2008 i predict you will see Kahn winning a world title!

    When your as hyped as Con has been (and he's been hyped) your expected to move at an accelerated pace

    I know that Khan's been hyped up a lot in the UK, but beating Thaxton then three defences to make the Lonsdale belt his for keeps would let him really settle into the weight, before going on to better things. Maybe throw in a few European contenders in there to boost his rating. I know people want to see him step up, but they're also people who often want to see him fail. Keep bringing him on gradually would be my move...Euro level in a year or so. World level in two or three if all goes to plan. None of this big talk about winning a world title next year or anything.

    Would never ever happen but Khan-Anthony Peterson would be interesting. Neither's really stepped up, the two best prospects at 135 probably.

    Khan could fight somebody like Fransisco Lorenzo, no power but kind of akward to deal with.
