I think saying he got lucky against Khan is taking it too far, but it is a fairly meaningless fight. Prescott is what you'd expect from a Colombian. He's Edison and Dionisio Miranda, Zuniga, and Sam Miller. He's Joel Julio and Richar Gutierrez. Urango and Torres. He is whoever else I forgot. They have some power and basic skills, but they have all the same basic flaws.
I tried to tell people this after the Khan fight. I felt like I was the only person on the planet who had actually seen Prescott fight pre-Khan. He looked like **** against Abril. He looked better against Toledo than Abril, but he also looked worse than some guys we know aren't really quite top level did against Toledo. Prescott isn't a top level prospect. I'm not even sure he's a mid-level. If they guide him to a belt it will be with much care, and even then it will probably take a fluke pairing that makes no boxing sense: i.e. Mayorga beating Forrest twice.
