Has he got a better idea for an opponent or has he just ruled out Tahxton as a good one?
He did withdraw from the purse bids, but Thaxton was also offered a career high purse for the fight which he didn't take. I think Thaxton is trying to milk as much money as possible from the fight as a swansong.

It's a fight that would cement Khan as undisputed no.1 in britain, so I'd like to see it on that respect, but I don't expect it to be much of a fight. Thaxton name was first mentioned as someone who could derail Khan after the Limmond fight, more due to Khan's apparent frailties than to Thaxton's abilities when it was a believed that a half durable fighter with a half decent pumch would batter him. For some reason his name has lingered on since and a lot of people will have to backpeddle when Khan dismantles him in less than 6.
