Great heart and punch power. Joy to watch. Will miss his action style. Good time to retire.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Jon Thaxton announces his retirement
Top man. I actually quickly spoke to him as he was leaving the Alti arena last week. Wish him all the best, which is what I should have said to him last week..... rather than, "I enjoyed the fight". Ha. I was excited still..... Ha...
Hope he does well in what ever he does....

I think he wants to be a Barry McGuigan and do commentating etc on TV. That's the impression I get whenever he has a mic in his hand anyway.Originally Posted by themacmagician
Will always remember the Hatton fight, both cut to fuck and scrapping away.

Tough fighter. Long career. Seems like a million years ago when he was fighting Augustus, Dunne and the like.
