Someone on this or another thread threw up the idea of Kahn/Rios at 140, which I think would be a great fight. Less consequential but more exciting than a Bradley fight and at least even with a Peterson rematch. (I do think it's BS that Peterson isn't giving Kahn a rematch, as much as I detested Kahn's post-fight conduct.)
Khan deserves a rematch but I don't feel sorry for Khan given that he wouldn't give Prescott a rematch. Peterson is angling for bigger fish to fry just like Khan did.
Rantcatrat come on man I thought you knew better than to employ a clearly biased logic like that. Khan came into the Peterson fight with 2 belts, Peterson was only his mandatory for the IBF belt not the WBA. Still Khan put both belts on the line as the champion, in Peterson's country, in Peterson's home town. Whan Khan fought Prescott it was for the pretty meaningless WBO intercontinental lightweight title which again Khan had. Why has nobody ever mentioned the fact that Prescott has lost 4 times against Vazquez, Mitchell,Mckloskey and Alvarado and after beating Khan won nothing. Khan after his loss to Prescott came back and won the WBA lightweight title, defended it then won the WBA light welter weight title which he then defended 5 times before losing to Peterson.

You cannot compare Khan not wanting to fight Prescott who had won nothing with Peterson avoiding the guy who gave him a big break in offering an extra belt and conceding home advantage. Why is nobody getting on the backs of Vazquez, Mitchell, Mckloskey and Alvarado for not giving Prescott a rematch? because he brings nothing to the table. Khan is clearly a bigger draw and at 3 in the light welterweight class rankings deserves a rematch or a fight against Bradley but both are dodging him.

When Khan fought Fagan for the WBA lightweight title he was not avoiding Prescott he was not avoiding him when he defended against Barrera he was winning in his weightclass.
