John Thaxton calls Amir Khan a chicken.

[p4pking]

Saw today an advert in the Boxing News where John Thaxton calls Amir Khan a chicken. It is funny as he is in a chicken farm, with hundreds of chickens behind him and he demands to know where Amir is so that he can give him his for feathers. Good publicity stunt on the eve of Amir's big fight and will certainly get his attention.

Remember when Holyfield did something similar in the Ring, where he was holding up bags of money and wanting a fight with Tyson. Should Witter try to do the same with Hatton?

Who the hell is John Thaxton anyway? Another British prospect?

No he is the guy people beat on the way up . Colin Dunn stopped him with a body shot over a decade ago , he's been stopped by Jason Rowland , Ricky Hatton beat him on the way up . Eamon Magee knocked him out even Augustus knocked him out. This was when he was in his prime too . All these years later he is just waiting for his turn against the cash cow .

So he's just a journymen and he's calling out Britain's top prospect and talkin all this trash? WTF?

I've never seen Thaxton fight, but just going by his record, I think that's about bang on from what I've seen of Khan lately.
