Prescott v. McCloskey

[Tam Seddon]

There's no point in a rematch at all now cos Prescott did lose this weekend, if he had knocked mcclosky out than maybe the fight could have happened. But Prescott proved in that fight that he's not in the league of khan and he would lose I have no doubt. It's not a case of khan being scared , just a fight with Prescott just really does nothing for his career. Prescott has lost three times now since that win and in doing that his stock has gone down significantly. The only way he would have fought khan again is if he didn't lose and continued knocking people out like he did against khan. He brings nothing to the table anymore and I don't see his career going anywhere. Khan however is going places and he has proved that it was just an off night the Prescott defeat. Khan is working very well with roach and he doesnt need a Prescott fight at all.

What he brings to the table is that he is the only person to beat Khan. Avenging Khan's only loss is better than beating someone of McCloskey's ilk. On paper it is an easy win for Khan, but people would buy it because of the brutal KO Khan suffered at the hands of Prescott.

That was ages ago though and Prescott has lost THREE fights, when khan is winning fight of the year against the number two fighter at 140. He's past Prescott, as I said before if he beat mcclosky then maybe , but he lost against. Prescott has shown it was a fluke. Khan would beat him easily!!

What bigger fish does Khan have to fry though? I could see Matthysse/Bradley/Mayweather, but who else?

Thats what i was getting at hence why i put the " " around bigger fish to fry.

Bradley can't fight him right now because of promoter issues and when he can come back, he would want a tune up before taking on a big fight like Khan.

Mayweather is fighting Ortiz and will likely try and get another Pacquiao deal done.

Matthysse just pulled out of a fight with Morales because of injury and Morales is old and shot so Khan fighting him would be a joke.

Peterson is a decent option for Khan but i think Prescott does more for him. Peterson is the better fighter but Bradley already beat him and Prescott knocked Khan out in 54 seconds.

Why Khan doesn't want the rematch, i don't know.

It was only three years ago.

This isn't like Pacquiao rematching Singsurat right now lol.

He did beat McCloskey, he just didn't get the decision.

Khan would likely outbox Prescott easily but saying he will do it proves nothing. Khan rematching him and actually doing it means alot more and you know it.

Khan has no good fights out there right now. Why not rematch the guy that gave you your only loss and knocked you out in 54 seconds.

[Tam Seddon]

Because he just got beat by somebody khan beat no too long ago and Mitchell dominated him too, therefore proving khan doesnt need to beat Prescott and would be a waste of time.

Did you actually watch the fight ?

McCloskey at best deserved a draw.

Mitchell beat him but it doesn't change the fact that Prescott knocked Khan out in less than a minute.

It wouldn't be a waste of time.

Khan avenging a devestating loss like that would help his career. if you think otherwise you are blind.

It's not like he has a fight signed either.

It's annoying that Prescott didn't get the win he deserved as it would have set up a potential rematch with Khan or a fight with Maidana. Prescott against either of those 2 would be far more interesting than McCloskey against one of them imo.

i agree

prescott maidana would be pretty firery

[Tam Seddon]

Yes I did watch it and I think mcclosky edged it IMO. None the less he LOST the fight and how does losing to the guy khan just beat earn you a shot at khans world title? Khans a champion, Prescott is someone who has lost 3 out of the last 6 and has no belt. He brings nothing to the table and as I said before if he beat mcclosky then yes potentially if he couldn't find anyone else he could have faced him. Now Prescott is a nobody, he needs to earn a shot not lose 3 out of 6 and that doesn't merit a fight with khan who has proved he's passed Prescott.

[Pugilistic]

Of course you had McCloskey "edging" it.

Prescott deserved the win, i'm sure the majority of fans agree with me.

Khan is a champion and has gone on to do better things while Prescott has had his downs since his win over Khan but why does Khan not want to avenge the only loss on his record ?

Khan deep down surely wants to erase the only loss of his career. He has the chance right now.

I think he should take it especially since he has no fights lined up.

You keep telling me why Khan shouldn't fight Prescott so in your opinion, who should Khan fight next ? who is available for Khan's December matchup ?

[Tam Seddon]

I did think mcclosky edged it he came on strongly in the later rounds and I think he was one point ahead.
It was a close fight but no way Prescott won that fight he started brightly but definatley faded at the end. I understand why you think khan should fight and before he lost to Mitchell and now mcclosky I agreed strongly khan should of fought Prescott. But the times has changed how can Prescott get a shot at 2 belts after losing to mcclosky? I'd prefer mcclosky to have a rematch against khan than Prescott who has lost three of 6. We are going round in circles here though, that's just my opinion.

Personally I think he should make a defence against a ranked fighter who has earnt his shot. I would like to see him against Antony peterson or maybe even devon Alexander. These are ranked IBF fighters and would give khan more US exposure. Or I wouldn't mind him fighting kell brook in the UK, I reckon that would be a cracking domestic showdown. I also think Maidana deserves a showdown and he also has the WBA belt, which khan has the superbelt version. I would love a Bradley fight too, if it happens is another question. As for Prescott he needs to repair his damaged stock because there is no way he deserves khan, even if he did knock him out. He's a limited fighter who has been exposed three times now.

[Violent Demise]

Because he just got beat by somebody khan beat no too long ago and Mitchell dominated him too, therefore proving khan doesnt need to beat Prescott and would be a waste of time.

Jesus Christ. The idea of Con geting back into the against Prescott really scares you to death, doesn't it? If it's such an easy win you would think one would say go ahead Con. Get it over with. But no. Con and his groupies want no part to the sequal "Gone in 54 Seconds"

[Gandalf]

Prescott deserved the nod. He was winning by a fair margin going into the championship rounds and fair play on McCloskey digging in, but it wasn't enough IMO.

There is no good reason for Khan not to fight Prescott. If Lewis can avenge losses then so can Khan. Such a poof for never giving Prescott a rematch.

[No Contest]

Didn't all 3 judges score it for McCloskey? Majority of the fans doesn't really matter.
