Khans pissing me off, who the **** does he think he is? what has he done? He has to prove he's the best in England
typical frank warren i think it'll be another 10 years since he takes risks again after haye v big mac
Thrilla in Manilla? Lets not get our hopes up - I suspect Kristjansen represents no more of a threat to Khan than a manilla envelope. One that has been signed, sealed & delivered to keep Khan's youngest british world champion quest alive.
if the stewart fight is any thing to go by thaxton will have to say good bye to boxing after ramanov rapes him,
Suppose it depends whether you think Thaxton is only as good as his last fight. Win or lose both Thaxton & Romanov should be given some credit for making this fight happen - unlike Khan who seems to prefer to name drop them as opponents and then opt for Kristjansen instead. Its a big step up for Thaxton but he will still be the british champ even if his euro bid fails. Really looking forward to this match up. :good
outside from the hatton and magee fights both of which he lost hasnt really fought any one of particular note, so its quite hard to say, actually it was warren that was doing the name dropping not khan:good and thaxton was given an offer after the earl fight and priced himself out
With respect I think you will find Khan called out Thaxton just before Kristjansen was named as his opponent first time around. Thaxton has gone to extraordinary lengths to confirm he was never made an official offer by Khan's camp. My view is that they wanted it to look like Thaxton had priced himself out when they withdrew Khan as mandatory challenger. Depends who you believe.
Realistically Thaxton will be up against it. Although he is the underdog it is a good opportunity for him. At least he is prepared to fight someone who is a genuine threat.
khan will never fight thaxton warren will never allow it to risky fight khan will only fight washed up fighters or fighters that cant punch
What is this **** about not giving Thaxton a payday, the same **** Hatton comes out with, man oh man:fire If someones slags you off , you would take them into the ring and KNOCK him the **** out, not spit the dummy and say "OH boohoo, he was nasty" What a **** that guy is, a total ****, shite bag
Thaxton may not get a Khan pay day but he will get a chance to fight a very good fighter for a very good belt when he fights Romanov. The differance between Khan and Thaxton is that Thaxton has bollocks.
I am a Khan critic but when Khan v Romanov was prematurely announced I said he was a good opponent - its a shame some Khan fans on this board can't afford Thaxton a bit more credit where its due for taking on Romanov next rather than just commenting on his shortcomings.
