Thread: Thaxton challenges Khan

http://www.saddoboxing.com/5670-jon-...ir-khan-2.html

Don't you just love Thaxton's attitude. Old fashion boxer...just wants to fight!!!

Lets not count Khan out yet i think saturday night will have taught him a lesson stop going for the ko just to please the fans stick with his boxing and don't allow himself to get over anxious.I would still lean towards Khan against Thaxton Khan would'nt be daft enough to mix it up early.

Just about everyone in the country around that weight will fancy the job now.

I think Thaxton maybe by the end of the year, my next fight would be against Lee Meager if i was Kahn good decent fighter who comes to fight, then id take Earl ( who for me is on the slide) then Thaxton.

Knowing Frank Warren his next fight will be Ricky Burns

Even Burns would be considered to dangerous at the mo

But at least he can't punch.

I think it's safe to say a fight with Kevin Mitchell won't be happening soon.

But to be honest it might have done Amir good. He's been a star since 17/18 years old and has just been swept along with his own hype.

I mean imagine being at such a young and impressionable age as he is and having all your boxing hero's, the British media and analyists all saying you're the greatest British prospect ever and that you are going to be a superstar.

He's always come across to me like a starry eyed pop idol contestant when he's talking about how he wants to rule the world and win multiple world titles. He's just parroting what the people around him are telling him.

Now he's been hurt like this he, and perhaps more importantly his team have had a reality check. He now knows he can't just turn up and whoop whoever is put in front of him and that even at domestic level the opposition is tough.

He may now start to inwardly doubt himself but that might be a good thing, making him more cautious and taking every opponent more seriously.

I still think he has tremendous potential.

People should cut him some slack, he's at a stage now where ordinarily he wouldn't have even made it onto television yet but he's already a veteran of being in the media.

It's a heck of a lot of resposibility to put on such young shoulders.

I wish more people would get off his back. We have a funny tendancy in Britain to want to destroy our best sporting stars and gloat in their failures rather than cheer them on and hope they can proudly wave the flag for us in the future.

Good for Thaxton has said he will go on a SN card to fight him

I'm with Bilbo there is no way Warren would match Khan with Thaxton.

I haven't seen thaxton fight tbh, but if he's a good pro who can punch then I think it would likely be a 3 hit fight. You forgot the part where the ambulance hits 80.

Will he swerve the British title though?
Amirs put himself in the deep end with his mouth and the public will demand this!
Gonna be hard not to let them fight imo.

Khan needs a new trainer, I get the impression he's surrounded by yes men who just tell him how good he is.

A fight with Thaxton would really tell us how far he's come. IMO he has enough skills to outpoint Thaxton already, that's IF he doesn't get over anxious for the KO, bigger punchers have failed to KO Thaxton. It would be a good fight for the fans as well.

Thanxton will beat Khan!!!

If they fought right now then probably yes, but Warren won't rush Khan now.

He will fight for the British title when he's ready......
















































which probably means when Thaxton is no longer champion

Thaxton lost to Augustus didn't he? Stopped even. How good is he? I've only seen that fight and another from him, against Meeger maybe?
