Who should Thaxton fight next?

[Autobarn]

When Thaxton's excellent lightweight campaign comes to an end, I wonder what he will do. Will he retire, will he bounce straight back. Or will he go for the British light welter title again, I wonder?

[THEBUTCH]

The best option for Thaxton would be a defence on the EBU crown on ITV IMO.

I would like him to fight Mcallister v Murray winner.

Thaxton needs to cash in at his age and his track record -- a world class opponent will derail any world title shot, and topugh domestic fights are just for a few hardcores -- the obvious choice is Amir Khan.

A nice tasy PR knockout to get himself 'into contention'.

[Autobarn]

With Khan won't it be the same rigmarole? Khan is Thaxton's top contender again, and we saw what happened last time. Pulled out of purse bids basically (rhetoric & side offers notwithstanding).

Yeah but Khan isn't as prescious to his promoter anymore. Toss him to the wolves. If he cant handle Thaxton he'll never be champ.
