Khan scared of prescott?

[marbleheadmaui]

I'm no particular fan of Kahn, but I no longer think he has anything of import to avenge. Prescott hasn't kept up in terms of accomplishment and Kahn has stayed in there with another big banger in Maidana.

Kahn has, in my view, responded exceedingly well to that loss. He renewed his commitment to the sport, he has worked to become technically far more proficient and he is fighting important and risky fights. I have no complaints.

Emil Griffith never "avenged" his KO1 loss to Hurricane Carter
Manny P never "avenged" his KO loss to Rusty Torrecampo
Alexis Arguello never "avenged" his KO loss to Omar Amaya

Those three all have exceedingly strong legacies. I can come up with dozens of others.

Now I think it'd be different if Prescott was now thriving against top competition the way Kahn is. But he isn't. It is up to him to earn that fight in my view.

Been discussed many times. Khan's left it long enough now to the point where it probably is relatively meaningless in terms of a sell - though it would have sold better than Mcclosckey fight.

Prescott needs a big win to get him back in with a shout.

But yes I think Khan's a bit hesitant about him for sure.

Yeah I think marble's post sums this one up. It just doesn't really have a lot of appeal as a fight right now. If Khan still had demons about Prescott there's no way they would have taken the Maidana fight, considering what Prescott has done since stopping Khan there's no way he would've posed a bigger risk even with the fact that he won by KO. Bottom line though is Khan is a very talented fighter with a bad chin. If he's going to get knocked out again it should at least be on the level he has proved himself worthy of.

I fail to see why Khan would want to fight him , he is a bum , if he earns a shot im sure the media will demand a rematch. Until then Khan has to get on with his career.

Those are great fighters though, you really think Amir Khan can achieve anywhere near what those fighter's did ?

Breidis Prescott has more explosive power than Marcos Maidana, and is taller which makes him more dangerous than Marcos Maidana style wise for Amir Khan.

I'd actually give him a ton of a credit for revenging that loss.

Prescott vs Maidana would be a great fight.
