Freeza 0 Posted January 9, 2008 "I hope Khan does not do these titles a disservice and start fighting for inter-alphabetty titles." Thaxton is quoted as saying, legend, made me chortle! Kahn clearly knows John has too much experience and power and wants to protect his unbeaten record against nobodys, pussy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Amir Khan talks it up then pulls out because he knows damn well that John Thaxton would teach him a lesson.It is a shame because I would love to see the loud mouthed little git put in his place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dame to Blame 94 Posted January 9, 2008 Exactly he knows dam well that Thaxton is to dangerous to him at this moment in his career , he is still wet behind the ears and Thaxton is an experienced pro who on his day will cause anyone real damage in his weight class.

Thaxton''s a big big puncher,a lot bigger than any of Khans opponents up till now and it would be interesting to see if Khan can make the next step up.

Kahn fought Scott Lawton in October, guess who Lawton''s previous fight was against?........... John Thaxton.Neither or them have fought any one great in the last two years but at least Kahn has got in the ring with a top 10 world ranked fighter.You have to ask the question of why did Thaxton turn down a career best purse to fight Kahn?

I don''t think that Thaxton would provide much stiffer resistance than Khan''s previous opponents. I would bet on Khan winning without doubt and by a knockout in the first or second rounds although I would be delighted to lose my stake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buncey 1 Posted January 9, 2008 Amir needs to start getting hit. If he think he can waltz to the world titles without fighting the mexicans or diaz or katsidis then he is joking. Amir khan has been hit once and went down. He needs to fight thaxton to know what a punch feels like.If Amir khan steps up to fight at the ONLY world title belt he is ranked at, he will fight katsidis and he will lose. Katsidis nearly killed the last person he fought and he has completely scrambled earl.Amir khan thinks he''s the big''un, he needs to start fighting reputable boxers. The only decent fighter he''s fought is graham earl and earl has lost his marbles completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green and Yellow 0 Posted January 10, 2008 In the USA during the 30s 40s and 50s and no doubt today fighters were under instruction to throw a fight. I would not suggest that takes place in this country but you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Afraid this will probably go the same way as Graham Earl. I.E. Average fighter seeks big pay day against up and coming star. Up and coming star ignores average fighter as they have bigger and better plans ahead. Average fighter goes to the press saying star is "Scared", or "Running away", and that he could beat him easily. Fight takes place. Up and coming star wins easily.Unfortunaetly Thaxton needs this fight far more than Khan, hence him running to the media to try and wind him up and secure the fight.And I say all this as a thaxton fan.(By the way some of the above may be wrong in this instance. Boxing press releases are usually full of crap I find. One camp says the other is scared, the other camp says he declined the fight etc etc. You never really know the facts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
