They took their time but they finally have Calzaghe down as champ as well.
Much appriciated Max for some reson my PC was being a pain in the arse navigating the site!

Khan is a long way up in those considering who he has fought.

Audley was high up too before Danny beat him.

Popularity and hype must play a part.

Fewkes-Murray would be a beauty as well

Can't wait for Murray-Fewkes.

This fight could be the one that shows us whether Murray can deal with speed and movement, or whether he's too slow on his feet.

have Murray-Fewkes and Khan-Thaxton made any headway yet?

Surely, Murray would drop the English if he can get a crack at British champ Thaxton?

And Thaxton - what are his plans? Invoke his Commonwealth title shot, OR keep things in-house and defend vs Murray?

Khan has said he will be fighting for European title next and not Thaxton and the deal was near enough done .
So that leaves Thaxton without a fight so makes sense to give Murray a shot.

makes a LOT of sense for Hennessey, because he keeps the British title no matter who wins.

but will Warren really put Khan in with Romanov just yet? It's a big risk. Romanov chopped down Vanzie, when Warren promoted him.

If not then surley it would be Khan-Thaxton? Murray needs letting off the leash, but Fewkes is an excellent test for him.

I'm unsure what's happening here. Murray-Fewkes, Khan-Thaxton; OR Khan-Romanov, Thaxton-Murray...

What does Thaxton want to do?
