He got KTFO by McCall and Rahman, went back at them and brutalized them both. When you do that, the fans can say "well the first was a fluke".

An unavenged loss will always be a black hole on your resume! ESPECIALLY in Khan's case where Prescott starched him like a bum in 30 seconds.

But what if you get the same result again? That really is a black hole! Then you start hearing "he has your number".

For sure! But I think it's better to at least try. If someone KTFO you, IMO a true champion will be chomping at the bit to get back in there and get revenge.

...if they dont wanna get back in there, to me it says they are mentally pwned and scared!

Gotta love Lennox, he knew he was the best, he knew he'd murder those two turkeys... and he did!

...hmmm Khan? Maybe not so much ahhaha

I think that in the end, it's all about the fashion in which you did lose and how a revenge is relevant or not for the boxing community.

Dead on! Wish that was my post.

I think if Khan gets a chance to fight Mayweather for $3M, he should take it, because he's another knockout waiting to happen, like we almost saw in the Julio Diaz fight.
