    You're joking right?

    Thaxton is just using Khan to promote himself. Khan is under no obligation to fight anyone and especially not a washed-up journeyman who's been beaten by every class fighter he has fought. Khan is right to go after a world title if Thaxton isn't willing to accept a career high payday, even if that career high payday is smaller than Khan's percentage. I mean, what right does Thaxton have to claim a 50-50 split anyway? 80% of the people watching the fight would be watching for Khan.

      Pretty much sums it up. After his next fight Khan will probably have one more and then go for the world title.

          Parody, the fact you think it matters what Amir "wants" makes me laugh. We all know Frank has a host of unknowns and "top fighters... from the outback" waiting in the wings. If you think Warren would let Amir anywhere near Katsidis you must be dumber than I first thought.

          Also, Jon Thaxton has a bigger punch than the majority of other opponents of Amirs, and everyone knows Amir has a chin made from counterfeit china.

            I am not argueing with you man...your making self look foolish by thinking a journeyman is a threat to Amir Khan. I will bump this thread next year when Khan will be a World champion.

            Im still laughing at the fact you think Thaxton is a threat to Amir Khan.

            Have a nice day mate.

              I think Khan will fight him in 2008. Its no point putting him in with the likes of Katsidis in 2009 if they are not willing to fight Thaxton in the next few months.

                Amir Khan said he can't afford to split evenly with Jon Thaxton because he has to pay his £1,000 speeding fine.
