    All khan needs to do is learnt o fuck what the crowd wont and learn to fight on his bike at times... mayweather gets hate for it be his the p4p king and mega rich...

    Once khan learns to let the other guy force it while hes dancing around on his bike he will go far, right now he is trying to impress...

    This could be a very good fight, I would like to see although I wouldn't fault the Khan camp for
    waiting on this one he is still very young.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Thats because people just don't like Mayweather. People love or "loved" Khan. And people just want him to make a mistake and are waiting for it so much that when he does they jump on it.

    Its amazing how you put someone in a position where they can do nothing else and you don't help them, and they last and last without making that decision you force them to, and when they finally make that decision you say "you see? he's nothing" People are so insensitive.

    imo Khan and his team put him in this position
    if this fight had happened nd he hadn't been sayin i am this i will do this ppl wouldn't be coming down so hard on him

    but i bet he's sat thinking but i won didnt i ?

    I could see Kahn beating Thaxton who gets hit quite easy, Earl would be a gamble because of his power and bravery, Meager is brave and has power but also very easy to hit.

    The problem Frank now has is although boasting that Kahn is ahead of Hamed at the same stage of their careers, Hamed never looked that bad early on, Kahn now has a title and now everyone has seen Kahn can be hit and hurt and still hasnt gone past 8 rounds, they will relish the job and sooner ratehr than later, before he improves any.

    Kahns sparring cant be that good, he will not learn anything beating up and overwhealming the same old faces in training, hes not being made to think in sparring and it showed when Limond was walking him down, if I were Frank id send him over to Gleasons, Wildacrd, kronk or any gym that has a non stop que of of boxers wanting a piece of Kahn, this is the only way he will improve, being made to work and think in training, he is too used to overwhelming opponents with his strength and speed, mainly because they are all smaller.

    Nice idea in theory but I don't think Frank allows his fighters to have passports

    I totally agree mate, with his raw skills he needs some guidance from experienced trainers and the top ones in the States, but this wont happen, he needs some technical sparring partners.

    Not technicly just tough, wanting to prove themselves over Kahn, make a name for themselves.

    Kahn will only improve when he feels under pressure in the boxing ring, his last fight was a start but if he goes back to the routine sparring then he will struggle with the better fighters he will now be facing with that title

    Personally, I think Frank will be telling Amir Khan not to answer any more questions about Thaxton for the next six months, in case he talks himself into a corner.

    For me, Amir's guard and defence were what let him down, as he held a high guard and fought well early on, but as soon as he started to let his hands drop and started rolling those fists as he does, it was obvious to me that his chin was going to get tested, no matter how fast your hands are, if they're not up in a guard, you're going to struggle to block punches.

    I think that three or four fights against opponents of the caliber of Willie Limond will teach him to keep those hands up, and coaches will be drumming it into him from now till eternity. In the same way Calzaghe's overcome his dodgy hands by adapting his punching, Khan will just have to work around that dodgy chin of his, and develop so that it becomes very difficult for him to get hit there. He's shown he's a decent counter puncher, so it's a viable option.

    But if he fights Thaxton now, it could all go pear-shaped for my money.

    I'd love it if Khan joined Team Calzaghe and Enzo trained him
    Really think they'd bring the best out of him and Calzaghe snr is one of our best trainers imo and just gets better and better
    Thaxton would lay him down the first big punch he hit him with.

    But if that happened we'd never get to see Khan on a world stage, he'll be another stay at home fighter.
