Khan beating Prescott won't prove anything about his chin imo. Kats is better choice

[Fenster]

Khan needs to fight a puncher to prove his chin is the most pathetic statement constantly repeated on here.

The boy has a china chin. It will always be china. Any fighter with the ability to land a half-decent punch has the chance of sparking him.

Khan could beat Mayweather then get KO'd by Urango. That's his career.

Thanks fuck i'm not the only one who thinks this. I've been saying it for ages. It just means that particualar puncher didn't knock him out, but the next one might.

Khan haters are not giving it enough thought. They are foolishly assuming any banger will give them wank material - hence the silly calls for a Prescott rematch. As though he has more chance of sparking Khan again than Bradley, Alexander and about 20 other fighters between 140 and 147.

Yeah i asked the question a while ago: Surely he'd be in more danger against a solid hitter who has the speed and skills to land frequently, as apposed to being in there with a guy with limited skills, good power and a lottery ticket.

I agree that Prescott has less chance of doing anything to Khan than either of these guys, but my take on it is a simple one. If you lose to someone then you want to avenge that defeat. To ignore it as though it never happened is a cowardly way to go about things. Khan has chosen to fight the likes of Fagen and Salita rather than fight Prescott. To me that speaks volumes about Khan and his team. These guys were not bigger name opponents and they certainly meant a whole deal less.

I prefer a Katsidis fight, so much more in fact. But if it can't happen in that time then I wouldn't begrudge a Prescott fight. Every man deserves the chance to try and put something right.

I suppose you'll start giving Khan great respect if he avenged the defeat to Prescott? In no way whatsoever would Prescott become a useless borderline journeyman that was totally outboxed by non-world level Kevin Mitchell.

Come on miles, if Khan beats Prescott you'll say it means nothing and if he doesn't fight him again you'll continue to call him a coward and slag him off.

You're so infected with the hate Khan will never win

Prescott is worth rematching if they can't find about 20 other fighters who are much better around that weight.

No, it wouldn't win me over, but you would have to respect him a tad more for facing a demon in the closet and if Khan needs a fight for July it might fill the gap. Like I say, I would prefer Katsidis by far, but if it's Prescott then I wouldn't mind all that much. It is better than some recent opponents.

Barrera, Kotelnik, Powderpuff and arguably even the unbeaten WBA no.1 mandatory were better than Prescott.

I get what you're saying though. At least if he rematches Prescott it gives you hope of seeing him splattered again whereas you wouldn't be certain of that with other better fighters he might face

You do realise that I still don't recognise the Barrera fight!

Kotelnik and Malignaggi are both fighters that are better than Prescott, but they can't punch for shit. Plus they haven't already knocked Khan out in a round. TBH, we all know I don't like Khan so much but I'm kind of ambivalent about him at this point in time. If he is really willing to get in there and fight a higher class of opponent like he said then that's cool. I think other fighters have a much better chance of stopping him than Prescott, but can see the point in a Prescott fight. I like to pose a bit on my Khan stance, but it wouldn't bother me that much if he was able to surprise me. But if I like the opponent more, then of course I will back them as was the case last time out. But we all knew Paulie couldn't punch. Khan really needs to face a puncher and show that he can weave his way through a situation like that.

Why though? Khan calls himself a champ, but it's a rights of passage, you have to fight someone who is a threat and who can punch. There is just no point in careful matchmaking from here on out. It's not too much to ask that a fighter challenge himself and challenge his known weakness. If he wasn't ready to make the break then he should never have fought Kotelnik, it's now time to sink or swim and beating Malignaggi was never going to answer the questions we all have. I think beating a known, hungry power puncher increases his stock immeasurably and puts naysayers like me well on the margins.

[Fenster]

What questions miles?

You still haven't realised Khan has a china chin?

So Prescott is a puncher, right? Khan beats him that proves he can beat punchers?

Bradley only has 11 stoppage wins to his name. He's not a big puncher. If Khan fights him I supppose it's more proof he's ducking punchers?

But Boxing isn't just about getting kncoked out. You can be outboxed and lose, you can be outworked and lose.

Just because Malignaggi doesn't hit hard it doesn't discount his threat as a fighter. He can still beat you. He's still more than a worthy opponent.

Khan won't prove anything by beating a puncher. It'll just prove that he didn't get knocked out by that particualrpuncher.

He'll still be just as likely to get knocked out by the next puncher. That''s what it's going to be like for Khan.

Maybe he does have a china chin, but that's not all I am thinking about. If your chin isn't the strongest and you really want to show that you are something then you should challenge yourself. Khan has been crafty with the matchmaking thus far, bar Prescott.

The Prescott point is a simple one like I've said before. It avenges a loss and fixes a short term need for an opponent. Nothing less, nothing more.

A Bradley fight would be far more desirable. I like Bradley a lot and though he doesn't have many knockouts, I think he can punch. I wouldn't deny that as a good matchup, of course I prefer that over Prescott.

Khan has stepped up to world class since his defeat and shown a massive improvement. That's why he is currently rated the 3rd best 140lber in the world.

Just because Malignaggi doesn't hit hard it doesn't discount his threat as a fighter. He can still beat you. He's still more than a worthy opponent.

Khan won't prove anything by beating a puncher. It'll just prove that he didn't get knocked out by that particualrpuncher.

He'll still be just as likely to get knocked out by the next puncher. That''s what it's going to be like for Khan.

Like I said in my previous post, you should aspire to do great things in whatever field you are in. It's about challenging yourself and saying that you are good enough to beat the best. As soon as Khan decided he wanted to be a world champion that is what he asked for. Fair enough, he's beaten Malignaggi who was beaten by Hatton and Cotto quite convincingly. But there gets a point, are you in this to coast and fight featherfists from here until the end...or will you step it up and face a man who you know can hurt you? Khan needs to do that and until he does, people like me will say that he is all smoke and mirrors. You can't base a career on avoiding punchers and saying "well I might beat this one, but the next one might get me". You have to try it out and show that you have learned.

What questions miles?

You still haven't realised Khan has a china chin?

So Prescott is a puncher, right? Khan beats him that proves he can beat punchers?

Bradley only has 11 stoppage wins to his name. He's not a big puncher. If Khan fights him I supppose it's more proof he's ducking punchers?

Maybe he does have a china chin, but that's not all I am thinking about. If your chin isn't the strongest and you really want to show that you are something then you should challenge yourself. Khan has been crafty with the matchmaking thus far, bar Prescott.

The Prescott point is a simple one like I've said before. It avenges a loss and fixes a short term need for an opponent. Nothing less, nothing more.

A Bradley fight would be far more desirable. I like Bradley a lot and though he doesn't have many knockouts, I think he can punch. I wouldn't deny that as a good matchup, of course I prefer that over Prescott.

That's nonsesne.

So Prescott is better than Barrera, Kotelnik and Powderpuff?

Khan has stepped up to world class since his defeat and shown a massive improvement. That's why he is currently rated the 3rd best 140lber in the world.

I don't see why that is nonsense. Everyone is knocking you for something then you should want to prove them wrong, it's human nature. The matchmaking has been superb and that is undeniable.

Barrera wasn't beaten so let's subtract that one.

Now Kotelnik and Paulie are the two weakest punchers in the division. You can say that he has stepped up, but I will cynically suggest that he has been matched up. He hasn't faced an opponent who can tickle him let alone challenge him. 3rd best fighter at 140? Off of Kotelnik and a Paulie who has had 1 fight at 140 since Hatton? No, I don't buy into it at all.
