    Khan: "After St Clair, Bring on Thaxton"

    Commonwealth lightweight champion Amir Khan (15-0, 12KOs) wants UK rival Jon Thaxton to keep one thing in mind - he's next on the hit list. Khan tells Setanta Sports that Thaxton is next after he disposes of Gary St Clair on February 2. [details]

        finally a boxer who talks like a boxer. he is taking heads and he isn't holding back. while scheduled for a fight against st.clair he was being taunted by thaxton and he stepped up and is calling him out even before he has taken care of st.clair. his career will be fun to follow.

          Huh? He's unbelievably talented and unbeaten.

          Please explain the "joke".

              Yep, I like that he's willing to talk trash and then back it up.

                Unbelievably talented? He lacks even the most basic boxing fundamentals. He has VERY poor footwork, VERY poor defense, and NO backup plan.

                The guy can punch. That is it. That is all Kahn has is his punch.

                He stands with his feet 15 miles apart and unload bombs on hopelessly over matched opponents.

                  What a shame, Thaxton is definitely a step down fight and Khan will steamroll over him. Won't this mess with his plans to become the youngest british lightweight champion? Warren should just have him pass this fight and move to bigger better things

                    Not sure if you saw his last KO but he had TREMENDOUS balance and good use of combinations. His chin is suspect but that's about it. The speed, power and precision punching is there undoubtably.
