If thats a sign of things to come in his career then it wont be great because Kotelnik was tailor made for him yet he didnt look great. Youd like to think that a superstar in the making would look better in their first world title fight.

    All we can do is wait for Khan to get matched with a dangerous opponent . Until then continue to buy the PPVs on the offchance he gets beaten again

    Mate have you ever stopped to think that the reason they call him 'King Khan' is because it has a nice ring to it, a bit like King Kong?

    It's just a play on words really no need to get your pannies in a twist over it.

    Plus he beat Kotelnik better than anybody else ever has and that considering he's fought some decent opposition like Junior Witter, Soliman MBaye and Marcus Maidana that's not bad going.

    He's only 22 years old, the third youngest British World champ I believe and he's going to get better.

    How many fighters are there who win their first world title by 22 years old? Whether it's a paper belt or not he's still done the business.

    Calzaghe and Hatton were in their mid twenties before they got near a title shot.

    Khan turned pro very young, much younger than most and it's taken him some time to find his feet. But his last three fights have been incredibly impressive. He's not put a foot wrong.

    Roach will mould him into something special.

    I know the kid has gotten a lot of shot from everyone but I'm willing to give the kid a break. A great or sucessful fighter isn't always undefeated, and I think he's learning each fight and think he would easily dodge prescotts bombs and outbox him easy. It ain't all bout the chin it's about not getting hit in it. If a chin was all it took margo would be undefeatd and not need to cheat. Better khan lost early then in a title fight down the road. I still say Paul williams loosing was the worst thing that could happen for any of his future opponets

    I would favor Khan in a rematch against prescott.....I think Prescott got somewhat lucky in that first fight. I think Khan would take him to a decision in a rematch.

    Breidis has terrible technique and doesnt throw straight punches. He also seems to have stamina issues and gets frustrated easy in fights....I also think his power is overrated cause of the Khan fight....

    Khan seems to have good stamina, and the ability to punch and move for 12 rounds so I think he can stay away from prescott and get a decision (it wont be pretty and we will hear boos).

    I am not saying Khan is that good, I am saying prescott is that bad from what I have seen in his last few fights.....

    Hes no paul williams. Yeah i actually think kahn would beat him as long as prescott never landed one punch on his chin or general head area. So no (we tried to make the fight but he doesnt want it) these excuses will no doubt be used as they were for murray thaxton and others. Paper champ with a paper chin.

    I think now is the time to do it. Khan coming off a "big win" winning a title and Prescott coming off a loss. He will at least have a slight advantage going into the ring. One of the reasons I don't care for him. Spouting off at the mouth about about his recent victories but not about avenging his devastating loss. If he did that and won, I still wouldn't like him but then I would just be a bitter asshole

    I think its a risk/reward case now that he has claimed a trinket.Prescott off his loss last night brings little to the table save for Khans thirst for revenging that nasty blemish.Khan has passed that disaster but it may rightfully leave many lingering doubts if its left unaddressed.I think Prescott can be out maneuvered and out boxed ...if not by Khan than by someone else.

    I think people will always be all over Khan no matter what he looks like or how his career is actually moving. I don't think the Prescott fight happens now because Khan is trying to gain stardom and that starts with chasing big names. Khan getting caught by Prescott is not the end of or the tell all of his career. He is looking better while Prescott is looking flawed with every fight. I do think for a guy of Khan's hype and talent a lost can be the best thing to happen to him. It forces you to look at yourself as a student and not a possible star and creates starving hunger again. I am not fan of Khan but I know how to keep it real. He'll be a world class talent in this sport. He may not dominate a division but he will be a major player.
