Thread: why is khan ducking prescott??

khan is seriously running out of options for his fight in april although bredis prescott is now constantly calling for a rematch.

sky would take this fight in a heartbeat , the fans would sell out the arena fast and the ppv numbers would be much more than if khan fough petterson , ortiz , mccloskey and murray

so why does khan not want the fight if hes so confident in beating prescott

He should rematch Prescott. The fact that he can't seem to find a decent opponent and that Prescott wants to fight him, indicates that Khan really doesn't want to try and avenge an extremely humiliating defeat.

According to Prescott he's Khan-tucky Fried Chicken to fight him.

agreed it would be an easy seller - and one I have been saying for some time I would love to see. I won't pay for Mccloskey if he is opponent.

Personally I don't see how Khan would be worried by Prescott as he is a class above him - but then again I have never been in the situation Khan has been in to know how you would feel about facing a guy who had brutally kayoed you.

But at the same time if I was confident in my ability as Khan appears to be I would want to avenge a defeat such as that to wipe the slate clean and prove it was a fluke.

Lennox did it.

Do you reckon it's Khans management who dont want him anywhere near Prescott as maybe think he cant handle it mentally ??

who knows

If the PPV was gonna be that good the fight would have already been signed. Fact is, Prescott got totally schooled by Kevin Mitchell on Sky, who then failed miserably when upped to world-class.

Barring Prescott's "1 in 100" night against a novice Khan he's a borderline journeyman. McCloskey would beat him 10 out of 10.

I'm glad logic showed up.

To be honest Khan has suppassed this loss and proven alot of people including me wrong.

but saying all that it is still unfinished buisness and he should rematch him to just show it was a bad night at the office.

Lennox Lewis avenged all his losses and no one says yeah he was good but he did get KO'd by etc etc

so from a legacy point of view why not it would still sell quite well at this point in time IMHO

Styles make fights. Prescott did him once I think he could do him again. He also has a massive psychological advantage.

I actually do think car is scared of him.

I think Prescott would need to get a few wins under his belt first to even earn a fight with Khan.


But box office it would be a money spinner.

I suppose. I just wonder what would happen if Khan did beat him. People would still have their doubts about him and his punch resistance. There'll always be someone else waiting in the wings who would potentially beat Khan.

If he beat Prescott, there would be people saying he's scared of Ortiz or Alexander or whoever else.

It's only a month since he beat Maidana, who's probably the most dangerous fighter at 140, and people are already talking about how he's scared of getting ko'd again by Prescott.

I think Khan needs to fight everyone at 140 in the same night. He should cut out this one fight at a time bullshit and just go for broke.

Lol I wrote car instead of khan in my last post that's made me chuckle.

I don't think he's scared of Ortiz, Alexander maybe. Maidana was very very limited.

Earn a fight with Khan? Khan's hardly fighting elite opposition. He's looking for any old bum.

Styles make fights but Prescott ain't got no style. He's just a long armed crude swinger. He caught cold an ultra-chinny novice at 135lbs that didn't know what defence was, now fights in a higher weight-class and has one of the worlds most decorated trainers and top conditioning man in his corner.

For sure it would be nice for Khan to avenge the loss. I suppose there are a few worse opponents than Prescott. But boxing is littered with "great" fighters never avenging losses without it harming their status.

Well then i'd say to Khan, get your skinny ass in the ring and prove it.

Who ever Khan fights there is always going to be a chance that he gets caught and stopped.

A bit like watching a Nigel Benn fight.(the good old days)

Prove he can beat a borderline journeyman that "fluked" a KO over him.

Well if enough people really want it i'm sure it will happen.
