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

Although, I agree with you, none of it matters.

The fight WOULD sell. You honestly telling me you wouldn't watch it?
(I should start a poll).

Yeah of course i'd watch it. I will watch Khan's next fight whoever the opponent is. I don't think avenging the loss is such a big deal though. There's an endless list of "great" fighters with blemishes on their record.

Lennox rematched McCall because the vacant WBC title was on the line. And Rahman was an immediate rematch for all the titles. The opponent has to offer something.

Prescott offers Khan nothing. I don't think it sells any better than the already mentioned possible opponents.
