Thaxton: I’d KO Amir Khan

Thaxton: I’d KO Amir Khan
British lightweight champion Jon Thaxton has re-iterated his long-standing challenge to Amir Khan to meet him in what would now be an old-school showdown for two traditional titles following Khan’s win over Willie Limmond on Saturday night. The Olympic Silver Medallist captured the Commonwealth Crown when former holder Limmond failed to emerge for the ninth round at the O2 Arena in Docklands, but only after climbing off the canvas and surviving some torrid moments of his own in the sixth..

“I want Khan to be a man,” began Hennessy Sports ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) promoted Thaxton. “He’s said a lot about me in the press. He’s disrespected me, so now it’s time for him to step up the plate. I’ve got the British Title, he’s got the Commonwealth Title, so let’s do things the old fashioned way and put them both on the line.

“If he says yes, the fight can happen. My promoter Mick Hennessy wants to make the big fights, so we aren’t going to let politics get in the way of things. I’m not going to hide behind my promoter; we will happily go and box on one of their shows.”

Thaxton, who made the first defence of his British title with an impressive stoppage of English champion Scott Lawton in March, has always been sure that he would be too much for Khan. The weekend provided further evidence.

“For me, there have always been a few question marks about Khan’s ability to take a punch,” he added. “He got as close as you can get to being knocked out by Craig Watson in the amateurs. Now I’m convinced that he’s got no chin.

“He was floored heavily by someone I consider a light puncher; someone who gave up his status as mandatory contender to my British Title. He’s getting knocked out the first big punch I land. I would get the job done properly; I wouldn’t let him off the hook. I think he was one punch away from being stopped.

“No disrespect to Limmond, but I believe Khan went for the easy touch by fighting for the Commonwealth. Well, he’s got a bit to prove now and I am giving him the opportunity to fight for the British Title against the number one lightweight in Britain.

“After the withdrawal of Graham Earl, the Board delayed their decision to install my next mandatory contender until after Khan’s fight at the weekend. Now he’s won, hopefully he will be installed next month and then we can really see what he’s made of.”

The 32-year-old Thaxton got his head down and earned the right to be called Britain’s best the hard way. Whether they clash or not, the Norwich hero hopes that Khan will now set about his business in a less vocal fashion.

“He has disrespected a few fighters,” he added. “He’s been talking like he’s the best in Britain, saying how there’s a few of us he’d like to shut up and that we need to fight him before it’s too late.

“He’s also talked about being ready for a world title by the time he’s 21. I don’t believe he’s even good enough to win a British Title, even if I was out of the picture. I don’t think he’d get past someone like Lee Meager. I think Meager could stop him.

“I think it would be better if Khan remembered his level. I think someone like John Murray is a good example of a young fighter. He’s a great little boxer having a proper apprenticeship. He will get the rewards.

“Khan has received a lot of money and attention. Given where he is at, I personally think it’s a bit unjustified and a bit of a circus. I am the man to end it.”

So, what do you think?

[stake501]

he is 100% correct.

i hate to say it, if they fought within 12 months, that would be the outcome.

If however Amir khan gets a defence, i think that this fight could happen in 18-22 months time, and Kahn could get a positive result. Needs Manny and quick.

I dont think Harrison has improved him as a fighter. He has the talents, he needs to be moulded better

[Decebal]

I wonder what some posters who berate us when we "hate" Khan for self-hyping yet fail to rebuke him when he disrespects his peers and betters think about Thaxton's comments. Apologists are not much better than nuthuggers or haters in my book.

[stake501]

they all self hype, hate on each other etc....

how long has the hatton-witter feud been going, dont see them fighting or getting publically rebuked for not fighting and mouthing off

[China_hand_Joe]

Thaxton is calling out a novice, that is pretty low

[GazOC]

Thaxton is calling out a novice, that is pretty low

depends how you look at it, he's also calling out the Commonwealth Champion.

[Charles187]

Thaxton is calling out a novice, that is pretty low

I agree, but if Khans gonna win a world tittle by 21 he'll have to beat better fighters than Thaxton. Close fight imo.

[box-now]

Thaxton is calling out a novice, that is pretty low khan has more or less called all the british light weights out by saying he was the best in britian he should prove it, they have all offered to fight him so why does he not just hut up and get it on!

[David UK]

Even after showing faults against Limond, Khan is too good for Thaxton. I like Thaxton as a person and he's a good fighter, but he's not the monster many people are making him out to be.

[LeedsLad]

Someone should tell Thaxton, he hasnt got a chance of getting this fight. Seriously, if you think ****** is throwing Khan in with anything like a decent fighter in the next 2-3 fights your very mistaken.

[achillesthegreat]

To my knowledge Khan won't be old enough to fight for the British title until he is 21 in December.

I want to see Khan get in a quality defence (in September) and then fight Thaxton in December.

[LeedsLad]

Maybe Graham Earl or Kevin Mitchell?

[achillesthegreat]

Maybe Graham Earl or Kevin Mitchell?
I say Graham Earl. The power threat is there but truth is the power threat is there from more or less everyone now. Weak punchers have stunned and hurt Khan so might as well put him in with a guy who is limited.

Earl is small, can be hurt and quite easy to pick apart. Khan would get credit for the win. Plus Khan would be waiting for Earls power. Limond could put skill on his work and do things a Graham Earl couldn't.

Earl in September.

Khan has to stay on this level now. If he takes a step back the people will backlash. He is now a major domestic player and has to act like one.

Thaxton in December.

I agree with you 100% on most of the things you said, but can you see ****** taking the same point of view? I see FW taking absolutely no risks, drafting in some nobody from somewhere in the commonwealth who Khan can dismantle easily.

[achillesthegreat]

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.

[ryanty22]

I live in the us and have not had a chance to see amir khan yet but from what ive heard he is turning into nothing but a hype machine just like fraudley harrison is this true or does khan have the stones to be a great boxer???

[BoppaZoo]

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.

[chewy 22]

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

[Amsterdam]

No shit he'll KO that china chinned fraud. What else is new?

[AllyT]

Who is lkley to be the next mandatory challenger for his Commonwealth title?

[Badman B]

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

[rooq]

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 ****** 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.

[Badman B]

if thaxton stayed the same and khan had three years more experiance do you think khan could beat him?

[SevenSamurai]

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.

[faisal]

khan will get TKO'd perhaps a bout with earl

[Amsterdam]

if thaxton stayed the same and khan had three years more experiance do you think khan could beat him?

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

[ron u.k.]

****** 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.

[stake501]

Fuck 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 shit.

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.

[jc]

Khan is still a boy in the pro game. ****** def wont tough Thaxton yet, Khans commonwelth champ now so expect a coupla random Africans and Graham Earl before he goes near Thaxton.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Who does Thaxton think he is, superman??? He talks like hes an elite fighter who has achieved it all, & his ramblings about how he would KO Khan the minute he hit him, what a load of utter drivel.

Then he goes onto say how John Murray is so great, but hes had nearly double the fights Khan has & doesnt have a name on his record anywhere near the class of Limond, like Khan does.
Man, Thaxton annoys me. He was way too disrespectful of Limond too IMO, calling him "the easy option" & so on.

If this fight happens I know who I will be cheering on, Amir Khan. Its about time someone shut Thaxtons big mouth up.

[Max Molyneux]

Who is lkley to be the next mandatory challenger for his Commonwealth title?

Khan's mandatry for the Commonwealth.

Thaxton is 5'6 barely, and not a light-welter, which is where he suffered those 2 loses...he looks a lot more solid at lightweight, bigger, stronger, and so what if Magee hurt Thaxton? he hurt Hatton, does Hatton not have a world class chin? if Thaxton has better technique the ko percentage would be higher

[Max Molyneux]

Don't agree about Murray, Khan for all the hype he's got and the trouble he had with Willie has stepped up unlike John.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Kid isn't of Limond's ability though. As always, I wish him the best of luck.

You are of course correct Amsterdam my good man. Stewart is a tall & awkward fighter, but he would come unstuck against Khan. However, as hes as scot I would love to see the fight, in the hope one of us would be the first one to stop Khan in his tracks!

I have nothing personal against Khan as you know Amsterdam. In fact, I hope he goes onto have a great career, cos it will make people realise just how good Willie Limond is. The better Khan does, the more people will respect Limond.

Thats how I am Amsterdam, completely obsessed with scottish boxing!

However, if Khan ever fights another scot? You can expect me to want Khan beat:smoke

All my hatred is directed towards Hatton, so I dont have the energy to truly hate anyone else:D

[Amsterdam]

I've given Willie his credit Dunky, that kid came to fight and really has heart and in terms of Brit domestic, he's really not too bad of a fighter.

But there is a difference between Brit domestic and World Level. Most top ranking Brit domestic fighters are barely on the level to World ranked journeymen and gatekeepers.

I use at LW for example, gate keeper Miguel Huerta, this guy is tough and he'd spank Khan in my opinion within a few rounds, he'd also beat Willie Limond with relative ease, but this is just a comparison between Brit domestic and international rankings, the Brit's don't get thrown in with the dogs, but more or less recycled on home turf against other domestics, "Rooq" touched on this.

But yes, Willie gets big credit from me for coming in with his limitations and almost ending this nightmare.

I personally don't understand hating Hatton and supporting Khan, but to each his own sir Dunky.:lol: :good

I know what you are saying, & I agree that there is a massive difference between brit level, & domestic level in other countries like the USA for instance. The contender USA vs UK proved this. The brits didnt half get spanked in that one, including Bundrage whupping my fellow scot, Colin McNeil.

As for calling me a Khan fan? Whoa!!!(as you americans would say;) ) I only support scottish fighters, I may like other fighters from other countries, but I only truly support scottish fighters. Its a tough route to take, but when a scottish fighter achieves something it gives me a sense of pride as a fellow scot that following a fighter from anywhere else in the world couldnt possibly come anywhere close to.

I mean, say I wasnt the way I am for a second. Then I would be a Pacquiao nuthugger, cos hes my favourite non scottish fighter, I simply adore that guy. If I wasnt so obsessed with scottish boxing I would have a Pac avatar, & could be smug as fuck on the general forum, being a fan of a modern day legend like him, kicking ass in all arguments, & looking forward to the Barrera rematch, when Pac is going to make Marco think his first beating was a walk in the park.

Sorry for going on, but I dont like the thought of anyone thinking I live in a wee scottish bubble, cos Im smarter than that, trust me:D Its just that I love Scotland & scottish fighters so much I cant find the energy to talk about anything else, although I probably should from time to time, for the sake of my own sanity:D

[Zakman]

Thaxton better get in line. After what happened the other night, PLENTY of guys will be looking to make a name for themselves at the expense of Khan's fragile whiskers. :yep

Think about it. You're a domestic level fighter who can crack a bit. Wouldn't you want to fight Khan?:D

The problem is, his management wants just the opposite. Whoever posted that guy's record with the 5 KOs in 21 fights has it EXACTLY right. Those are exactly the sorts of fiighters Khan's management will be looking to fight.

But, as Limond showed, with Khan's brittle beard, there are NO guarantees.:-(

To Limond's credit however, he's a damn tough kid who put everything he had into his limited punching ability and limited fighting ability, this next guy probably wouldn't last too long and probably has even less of a punch than Limond without the drive to land it.

But absolutely, there are no garauntee's.:rofl

Of course I'd want to fight Khan if I were in these guys positions, Limond's already going to be making a better living as a fighter because of the result...

i want the chin-checking manual.....you always say if anyone wants more info on how check chins then ask....I am asking and want the manual.

Does the method mean that Limond have a grade A china chin as well? I bet it doesnt cause of amir khans size.

No chance Thaxton would beat Khan IMO Ron. Khan wasnt 'exposed' as many would like to believe, he just came aup against a very underrated(like I have been saying for ages) scottish warrior in Willie Limond. Its to Khans enormous credit that he won that fight at this stage in his career, & I cant say that enough.

The Thaxtons of this world are all lining up to have a pop at Khan now, after seeing him nearly beaten. I hope Khan fights all his UK detractors & finishes them off in style, just so they know...

& I say this as a man who hates Khans fans, as I heard they were fuckin horrible anti-scottish racist fucks before & after the fight, the asians AND the whiteboy english Khan fans:twisted: I got a taste of it though when I seen Khan fight in Glasgow, his fans were twats then too, & had to be escorted out of the Braehead arena as the jocks had enough of their goading & were ready to kick their fuckin heads in:lol:

Did Limond get stopped on damage, or knocked the fuck out?

These two are not even comparable, he took a lot of punches and was stopped by damage, never did he once even go down, this means he probably has a rather decent chin, not that I rate Khan as a significant puncher.

The chin checking training is lengthy, there is no 1 manual, it's learned through trials and tribulations.:yep

Thaxton stops Khan.

Limond is a good fighter and I agree with you that he is underrated. But he also has feather dusters for fists and even his 8 stoppage wins have been a large accumulation of shots, he has very very little in the way of power. His own corner admit as much and don't even try and say his power is underrated, and yet he had Khan virtually out of there.

I said before the fight it was a great step up and a good fight for Khan to learn from and be pushed, but I did not expect him to be nearly KO'd even though I had worries over his chin.

Thaxton is aggressive and hits MUCH harder than Limond. If Khan fought him now he would be stopped, I am convinced of that.

RIGHT GUYS LETS GET SOME FACTS HERE. LIMOND DID NOT HAVE A BROKEN JAW, OR A BROKEN NOSE, THE ONLY THING THAT LIMOND HAD WAS A PERFORATED EAR! HE SUFFERED THIS A FEW TIMES DURING HIS CAREER, SO ITS NOT KHANS POWER THAT DID THE DAMAGE. HE DIDNT GET PULLED OUT FOR ANY OTHER REASON, HIS BALANCE WAS STARTING TO GO CAUSE OF HIS EAR. SO PLEASE STOP SAYING HE GOT SMASHED TO FUCK CAUSE THAT IS A LOAD OF PISH.
IT LOOKS AS IF I'LL BE DISAGREEING WITH MY OLD MATE DUNKY ON THIS ONE. DUNKY, I WOULD PUT A GOOD LOAD OF MONEY ON THAXTON EATING KHAN FOR BREAKFAST, ACTUALLY THERE ARE PROBABLY 3-4 IN BRITAIN THAT WOULD MAN RAPE THAT CLOWN. I'M JUST SO DISAPPOINTED THAT WILLIE DIDNT HAVE A BURST FOR 30 SECONDS AND FINISH THIS IDIOT.:thumbsup

I think KHAN has had too much publicity and that has overrated him.
Lets hope Thaxton teaches him a lesson. Big mouth and showoff khan.

& I say this as a man who hates Khans fans, as I heard they were fuckin horrible anti-scottish racist fucks before & after the fight, the asians AND the whiteboy english Khan fans:twisted: I got a taste of it though when I seen Khan fight in Glasgow, his fans were twats then too, & had to be escorted out of the Braehead arena as the jocks had enough of their goading & were ready to kick their fuckin heads in:lol:
dunky, pay no attention to some khan fans alot of them, dont no the a,b, c of boxing, many show blind love for khan as hes a fellow asian, alot of his fans are silly little ****stani girls who only watch his fights because they reckon he's buff:lol::lol:

I have not heard or seen anything that could possibly change my mind about whether Thaxton could beat Khan. It is a no brainer. Khan has the skills but Thaxton is an old pro with power i.e. Khan's worst nightmare. If he came through the fight with a win and not the bullshit happenenings of the Limond fight i may start giving the kid some credit.

Anyone who has had the misfortune to be anywhere near Khan's fans will have the same opion has you. The hatred is not just reserved for the Scots. If it was at a football ground Frank ****** and Khan would be in deap water and a large majorit of fans would be banned.

Thaxton stops Khan.

Limond is a good fighter and I agree with you that he is underrated. But he also has feather dusters for fists and even his 8 stoppage wins have been a large accumulation of shots, he has very very little in the way of power. His own corner admit as much and don't even try and say his power is underrated, and yet he had Khan virtually out of there.

I said before the fight it was a great step up and a good fight for Khan to learn from and be pushed, but I did not expect him to be nearly KO'd even though I had worries over his chin.

Thaxton is aggressive and hits MUCH harder than Limond. If Khan fought him now he would be stopped, I am convinced of that.

You are convinced that Thaxton would beat Khan fought him next? Thats a bold statement my friend! However, I could be wrong about Khan, & you could be proven right. I just hope the fight happens, cos Khan did promise Thaxton the payday, & if it is half as good as the Khan-Limond fight then the winners are us fans at the end of the day. We need more of these big domestic matchups to make boxing mainstream again on these shores.

[Dunky McCafferty]

well dunky they might be khan fans but they're certainly not boxing fans,we've seen it many times a football fan style mentallity,it does my head in.anyway i thought it was a good fight one thing i think we now know,young khan has a bit of substance about him,if he fails it won't be for lack of a fighting heart.as for willie i was very impressed by the way he went about his business totally unfazed and confident you could probably tell after a minute or two that this fight was a totally different proposition from all khan's others.i was gutted when it was stopped actually.

You are right Ron, the Khan fans seem to be a dumb lot in the main. Sorry for quoting you pal & going on about it, as if it was your fault:lol: I was just quoting you & went off on random rant as I do sometimes, it was nothing personal:good You just happened to be the guy I was talking to when the Khan fans jumped into my big scottish head out of nowhere...

Like you I was gutted when the fight suddenly ended, cos it was an ITV classic, the first mad war since the days of Nigel Benn & co in the ITV classic era of the 90's. Thats how im not getting into any mad debates about the fight now on here, cos I was privileged to see a fight that reminded me why I was a boxing fan in the first place. Ive got massive respect for both guys, & hope they go on to have great careers. Its weird how certain fights blow you away, & that was one of them for me.

[ron u.k.]

i never gave it a thought mate,anyway i always enjoy your rants i always have a chuckle when you go off on one.i thought both fighters came out of it with a bit of credit.i suppose there's still questions about khan's whiskers but i think it's more a case of improving his defence than anything.

[bigG]

khan would fight a much different fight against a known banger like thaxton....he may already be a much more skilled fighter than jonathon....the kids had 12 pro fights..lets not let his uneducated fans put us off...he may be the real deal.....i think with his sharp shooting style, he would stay away from thaxton, who lets face it, is a solid british level fighter, nothing more, and bust him up, stopping him late on cuts......

[Top Dog]

Last time I offered you a bet that Khan would beat Thaxton and Limond you went all quiet!! It's one thing to state on here you'd bet against Khan, it quite another to put your money were your mouth is:hey

We can go to Betfair.com if a Khan/Thaxton fight is made and have a private bet, but I bet you duck out:D

When did you offer me a bet??:huh I dont come on the site every night so must have went past me:huh I'd take a wee side bet if Thaxton and Khan get it on, no problems:thumbsup Dont think they will meet anytime soon cause ****** knows Khan will have his bollocks handed to him on a plate, but if it happens by all means call me out again, I dont mind putting my money where my mouth is. I offered Boxingchat a good size bet when Muttley took on Anderson but he went all quiet when it came to fight time, I aint no bottler bud:thumbsup

why bump this

truly terrible poster

[richard mossley]

Thaxton couldnt beat Khan then and he cant beat Khan now,It was Thaxton want to make a name for himself and get a payday against one of the countries biggest prospects.

He has retired Ten Tron, why the strange interest in Khan-Thaxton?

[53 and counting]

Turn off the computer and go back to masturbating furiously over King Khan, clown.

[TFFP]

Report this dickhead. I swear its Taco Bill trying a new tact. Instead of being a racist cunt he's being an annoying one. Boring troll.

[TommyV]

Stop bumping old threads you cunt.

[China_hand_Joe]

Although Khan is limited fighter who massively disappointed Freddie Roach with an abysmal showing against Maidiainanana.

[brucebufershair]

odd thread to bump . A few years ago it would have been a banana skin for Khan but he's improved out of sight since he went to the states and Thaxtons retired .
