KHAN! He is good for brittish boxing for 1 thing. He's also exciteing and keen as mustard to fight the best even if his Knob Jockey of a promoter aint.
As long as he dont get all Floyd Mayweather on us with his ego im rootin for him
Sometimes that doesn't mean allot, ask Kelly Pavlik and others about it. Strange video. Prescott looked a little cautious about his opponent and Khan himself didn't look very comfortable in there...
I think this is the first time Khan is fighting someone taller than him. That may have effected him a bit, having to look up for the first time.
Yeah, Prescott looks almost emaciated in that video. Look at his arms, hardly any muscle at all.

Yeah, I hate confidence in fighters. Much prefer boring geeks who don't sell tickets.
Also, how can you say that when you have David Haye in your sig AND avvy?
its not the confidence, confidence is good but he describes everything as a big step up even though he is still fighting bums, i hope he goes on to win world titles, but i think there are lessons he needs to learn first
also haye has alread been an undisputed champion, so he has a bit to back it up
Speaking of big guys at 135, this Prescott guy is huge as well. Waay tallr than Amir.
Video of them stood face to face below:

Yeah he is tall as hell, but he is pretty skinny. Where Khan is tall and pretty big built.
Thanks for the video, I hadn't watched the weigh in yet :boxing:
I wouldn't think so either, but DLH didn't look or seem drained at lower weights. But his chin got better, it's just a little theory I had. I was watching some old DLH fight and he was dropped early and it made me think of the similarity to Khan, how both are/were so big at the weight.

I want Prescott to win, especially after Khan's arrogant comments about Prescott underestimating him, when Khan has only ever fought bin men.
However, I agree about maybe making the weight takes something out of Khan, he is the lightweight Paul Williams, I'm half an inch shorter than Khan and it would kill me trying to get to 135.
Hmm, decent point. But I don't think Khan is struggling just yet to make 135. He's still so young, and hasn't 'filled out' properly yet. You can tell by his frame he is too big for the weight though.
Give it another year, and he will be 140 for sure.....
You may have a point though, time will tell I guess.

i want to see prescott win because khan is getting ahead of himself with the world title talk before beating anyone that is near that level,

True that,
I also wonder if his chin will improve if he moves up. Sounds odd, but DLH was droped early in his career at lower weights, but he has a very good chin at higher weights. Maybe making 135 is taking something out of Khan? Maybe not, but it is possible.

i want khan to win because he has a great future ahead, hes only 21!!
He gets hated a lot, but he's only had like 18 fights! Give the guy a break. I also think his weak chin might be du to him making 135, he is huge for the weight! :boxing:
i want to see prescott win because khan is getting ahead of himself with the world title talk before beating anyone that is near that level, i think defeat will do him more good than an easy win and he might then think about protecting his chin and have a genuine chance at the top of the division, with his speed, accuracy and power
Maybe you're right. He is obviously going to move up to 140 at some point due to his size, and then possibly 147 after that if all goes well.
He's too big for 135, but that in itself could help him to a title.

PRESCOTT
hate khan lol
nah hes not a bad kid, but he has a glass jaw and hes been feeding on bums for a while, he needs to be exposed
who u calling kid? your 14
i want khan to win because he has a great future ahead, hes only 21!!
I'm not so sure on that, If he moves to 140 I think he might. But 135 is so stacked, I can't see him winning a world title with all the guys up top.
