    Prescott is on a high, he is young, aggressive and brings hunger, determination and big power to the game.

    Thaxton meanwhile is significantly smaller than Prescott, old, well past his best and I think he'd get stopped on cuts personally. His heart will probably let him hang on in there while his ego won;t let him get bowled over by a young man. He loses whichever way you look at it.
    I watched his European title fight last week and Barry Mcguigan said it was a brilliant performance, he said Thaxton is still pulling off performances like that because he looks after himself between fights unlike other fighters who blow up in weight ,they also pointed out JMM being 35 Joel Casayamor being 37 and Campbell 36. Even though it is unlikely for Thaxton to reach that level he is still only 34 ,younger than three of the elite of that division.

      As impressive as Thaxton's Ko win was, I still think Khan would beat him/stop him.

        Khan should have dealt with Thaxton and Murray before he even started talking up world title chances.
