    I would personally love to see Khan fight Prescott in a re-match because Khan would rip this guy to shreads right now and would finally get that defeat off his back and I do not see Prescott winning a re-match whatsoever.

    Khan has bigger fish to fry than Prescott

    You mean smaller fish to fry...he's looking at lightweights to take on. Sure there's no sense of accomplishment in beating a guy who iced you inside two minutes.

    I think even Marquez, who's never fought at 140, would be a disgrace. If Khan's going to be on HBO, it should be against a real opponent.

    Khan in a re-match with Prescott would beat him more convincingly than Mitchell did - beating him inside the distance IMHO.

    I really want to see this re-match happen in July at the O2 Arena, London.

    By this line of thinking, Roy Jones getting KO'd by Glen Johnson is okay to not avenge because Jones beat Tarver once...just like Glen.

    or

    Joe Frazier beat Ali once despite getting bounced off the canvas by Foreman who Ali beat.

    That completely releases Frazier from the Foreman losses.

    I get it.

    It's like Kostya Tszyu...as great as he was there will always be a black mark on him for not attempting to avenge the KO loss to Phillips.

    More excuses from the Khoward Krew.

    No I just don't think Prescott is relevant right now, other than the win over Khan. If Breidis had gone on to win a world title or something like that then yea, fair enough, fact is he has lost comfortably twice and is nowhere near the title picture. Let Breidis form his own career rather than just hang off the back of that one win.

    This is lunacy. Pure lunacy.

    Every negative bit about Khan starts with his glass chin which came to a head by getting drilled violently by Prescott. The only way he erases that is by fighting the guy or fighting someone considered a real puncher. Which Katsidis is NOT.

    Furthermore, since you're giving Khan credit for fighting two "top ten junior lightweights" then why not prove you're the best in the division by continuing to fight guys in your own division. That's not accomplished by fighting lightweights coming up.

    As said earlier...it's the same mentality and road Jermain Taylor took when fighting Cory Spinks and Winky Wright. As far as I'm concerned he got gifts against Hopkins both times. When he finally faced a guy his natural size he got drilled and has continued to do so.

    Khan's following that same career path only he managed to get drilled coming up. This is clear evidence Roach knows the kid has no chin.

    And the most ridiculous bit of it all, Khan actually has physical advantages against guys in his own division...Bradley and Alexander aren't any taller than malignaggi and neither are true punchers.

    In Ortiz (once again the next highest ranked guy in Khan's organization and they share a promoter) you have a guy who punches like a mule but is mentally fragile.

    I want to see him clean out the division not bullshit and buy time. I suspect if Golden Boy and Roach are talking about this smaller light hitting guys...they know what they have. the same is said about a guy like Andre Berto and I don't like that guy either.

    Certainly what I'm saying makes sense.

    Muzse, Prescott has done precisely JACK SHIT since that win over Khan, he's lost twice and is off the radar. Yes he has that win over Amir, good for him, but whilst Amir has come back from that to win a world title and beat some top 10 140 pounders, Prescott has been getting dominated by Vazquez and Mitchell. Yea, Prescott is this great puncher who couldn't put a dent in Mitchell, whilst Katsidis is a little girl who beat Kevin like he stole something...and he isn't any more of a threat...sure :lol:. Great logic.

    As I said, names will get banded about, it's been three days. We will see what happens, I don't know who he is going to fight next, and nor do you, all I know is that Amir was asked who he wants next and he said the name we all wanted to hear.

    What you're saying makes sense Musze but Prescott is crap, pure crap. I'm not Khan's biggest fan but I think his fight with Prescott was an anomaly. Yeah, he doesn't have the best chin around but 99% of the times, he'll box circle around a guy like Prescott without losing a round. Prescott just happened to face him the 1% of times he gets unlucky and gets caught.

    It was a bad KO, it couldn't look any worse than it already is. The fact is, Khan has improved and gone on to bigger and better things, whilst Prescott has stayed in the same place, possibly backwards. Your Katsidis/Prescott logic is flawed.

    With 22 KO's from 27 fights, why isn't Katsidis considered a big puncher in your eyes?
    The guy does hit hard - I think and many others - Mitchell knew it before the fight and said it afterwards and despite what people may think of Mitchell, you still gotta finish opponents off when you have them troubled - which is what Katsidis has done in his career by stopping opponents and KO'ing them.

    It's a fight Khan should win but Katsidis is no easy push over.

    First off, 22/27 = 81%. Not bad, but it basically means that almost 1/5th of the guys he has beaten have gone the distance with him.

    Secondly......how many guys has he really iced with just 1, 2, or 3 shots?

    Katsidis strikes me as a hurtful puncher, not a one punch killer chiller put his body in the fridger type. Still hard enough to take a fair few people out.

    I'm not 100% sure on how many guys he KO'd with a single or 1-2 combos, but he has good few wins via stoppage under his belt which he won in 1 round or 2 or 3 rounds.
    I was going to say he is a hard puncher and is capable of hurting opponents with a flurry of hard shots and maybe hasn't got the killer BIG KO punch but you definately know about it if he hits you.

    Slice, you are wasting your time arguing with Musze about Khan. The bloke hates him, purely and simply, and will happily go round and round in circles in an attempt to portray him as a coward when thoughout his career he has shown that he is anything but.

    Now he is banging on about Khan fighting smaller fighters, despite that fact that his last three fights (since he moved up in weight, BTW), were all against established LWW's and that two of whom were, at worst, consensus top ten guys at the weight- a point I made earlier in this thread and which he has conveniently sidestepped.

    Whatever Khan does, Musze will find something to whine about.

    MTF :shit:

    MTF none of that's true which is why a point was made to bring up Jermain Taylor and how he followed a similar career path.

    Perhaps it's just MY mentality but if someone whupped my ass like that I'd fight the guy 100 times if necessary to get him back. That's why Mosley was always a favorite fighter...was advised to NOT fight Forrest but wanted him after Forrest cost him a spot on the Olympic team...was advised to not fight an immediate rematch but again...fighter's pride made him do that. The same holds true with his two fights with Winky Wright.

    And while I'm on the Jermain Taylor comparison, he had my respect when he made DiBella make the Pavlik rematch. They didn't want that fight but he needed to fight him again. Taylor earned my respect for that.

    I'll also throw in Barrera...while I'm not a fan of the guy (never was) look at his two fights with Junior Jones. The Morales trilogy. Prescott isn't anywhere near the level of those guys.

    But that's just me...obviously there's support for khowardice...if that's your choice, who am I to tell you differently?

    Mind you...Prescott is LAST on the list. My main point is why look south when there are plenty guys in your own division to fight. I can't for the life of me figure out how its viable to search at weight classes BELOW for a fight. especially if you're a "champion." It makes no sense to pound the drum for a fight against a guy like katsidis. Guy barely won a round against Juan Diaz and got KTFO by an old Casamayor. The fact he did that to mitchell says more to how much of a piece of shit mitchell was than how good katsidis is.


    Lastly, the argument of "he wants the fight but his management doesn't want it." That's bullshit. If Khan were so beholden to every word his management says he never would have left Frank Warren.

    What do you guys think of the analysis of some critics on Khan after the Malignaggi win about them saying that after only 1 fight in America against a fading Malignaggi, Khan looked really tired, that his face was badly bruised by Paulie's weak punches and that he should of beaten Paulie before the 11th round and without getting/ looking fatigued and as marked up as he did?
