Are you saying Prescott was a bum? Thet's be honest here, he was far from a bum. He had a almost perfect KO percentage and he hit as hard as any other lightweight.. being unknown and fighting unknown fighters doesn't always make you a bum.

I wish people would stop using the Prescott fight as an example why Khan is going to lose. The circumstances are so different in this fight.

  • Khan has a world class trainer in his corner.
  • Khan will undoubtably of learned his valuable lesson about rushing into fights.
  • Prescott no doubt hits alot harder than Barrera ever has.
  • Prescott was alot younger and fresher than Barrera is, not to mention more hungry.


And so on.. Barrera is a new type of opponent for Khan, just as Prescott was. He may of fallen at the first hurdle, but why do so many people give him shit for wanting to get back up and try again?!
