    Unfortunately I agree.

    Like you say in the other thread I think someone like Steward would do great for him. Khan would be training with guys like Cintron, Lee, Taylor, Banks, Wlad etc They would give him fits and make him a MUCH better fighter.

    at this stage id pick Thaxton or Earl to beat Khan.

    and if Frank puts Khan in against either there are going to be some pretty sad nuthuggers.

    Earl has to much heart and power to beat Khan. The problem i have with Khan he thinks he is as good as everyone makes out.

    But in reality he hasnt got very good defence and has a poor chin as we already knew. Earl might fall behind against a fast starting Khan but Earl would catch and hurt Khan.

    Khan needs about 5 more fights before he face's either Earl or Thaxton.
    and if Khan starts to believ his hype and jumps in the ring with a guy that can bang to early he is going to get KO'd.

    i mean Willie Limond hurt him. yeah he picked himself up and won the fight. but does anyone think Thaxton would let Khan get back in the fight. Thaxton and Earl will beat Khan if they fight within the next year. mark my words.

    Thaxton has world class power and chin, but limited skills - Thaxton would give any world champ a good fight, never mind khan

    how can khan avoid fighting thaxton without looking like a *****? hes the commonwealth champ, on paper the second best light weight in britian, hes said hes the best so how can he avoid this fight without looking stupid. it almost certain his career will be ended if he step into the ring with thaxton. im sure thaxtons amateur career was no where near as good as khans but yet even though hes a much more experianced pro youd think khan would be able to atleast survive in a fight with thaxton but i cant see him doing so

    FW will claim they couldn't agree on a purse. he'll also make sure khan is damn busy defending his title against the best pygmies the commonwealth has to offer.

    Because Warren isn't going to risk his cash cow in putting him with a guy who'll definitley end the cash train for good.

    Expect Steffy Bull level opponents for a while.

    I really want to see a Thaxton Khan fight. It would pose Khan alot of questions, some of which he may not be able to answer unless he stops leaving his chin in the air after admiring his own work.

    If Thaxton didn't decline? Then no, Khan will get clipped eventually and get put out as the effect, because he can't take a shot of Thaxton's level, we definitley know that.

    I'd rate Limond's power as a 2, Thaxton's as a 6, do the math. Khan's chin is a 1.

    6>1 = KTFO.

    2>1 = Almost KTFO.

    :yep :yep :yep

    warren especially after saturday will not risk khan against thaxton.i think khan at this time would lose that fight. thaxton is a well rounded solid pro who is durable and packs a hefty punch at this stage he's too much for khan.

    **** Earl.....i think he has heart but he is shot to pieces. He can barely string a sentence together, he sounds punch drunk and is as slow as ****.

    having seen theses guys all fight, i am convinced Willie Limond could beat Earl and easily.


    Thaxton, i respect but he has not got world class power....which world class operator has he knocked out, in fact every time he has stepped up a level, hatton, magee he has been sparked. In fact he has been sparked a few times, so where is the world class chin.

    He is a warrior and does punch harder than Limond but it wouldnt be that much harder. I think the biggest factor is actually his size and body strength not his punch strength that will scare Khan's ppl.
