Personally I'd like to see Amir expunge the demons once and for all. Prescott has hardly took the world since this fight though. His "Khanqueror" alias alone is worthy of a beating. Maybe Khan will have earned an easy fight after unifying the division, and maybe Prescott will have strung a few fringe wins together. Here's hoping.
He should do it here in England, i think if he beat him it'll be a great boost to his confidence. Only as a tune-up whilst we wait to see the shape of the division.

No it doesn't matter, it would sell but bad move in the long run for khan.
He has proved he can beat a big puncher, now he needs to refine his defensive work and some of his technique against top guys, all round fighters with hand speed and good skills that will punish you for making mistakes.
I don't think Prescott is capable of stringing together a couple of wins in good company.
He's just not very good. That short left hook that got Khan going was the boxing equivalent of Tony Adams scoring from the halfway line - he simply has not shown the capability to do it before or since.
He landed 11% if the his punches on Kevin Mitchell in that fight. And, Kevin was fighting on the backfoot for the first time in his professional career.
If Khan fights him. He just does it. Prescott is scarcely good enough to earn a shot at a world title. In normal circumstances - he isn't.
No. It won't improve his standing in world boxing. Prescott was a nobody and it was a fluke of a win. Khan took on a bigger puncher (and more skilled fighter) in Maidana, and won. He's proved he can beat big punchers.

I agree it should happen and it could do big business in the UK.
I think a fight between them would be a big sell here in the UK because the bulk of the boxing fans that would know him are from England. On the other hand, it wouldn't do that much for Amir's career in the sense that after the Maidana fight, he's answered questions about his chin and resilience, and also ended the critisism of avoiding big punchers. The only benefit would be rectifying that blemish. Prescott isn't really that much of a credible opponent neither, he's been exposed as a pure brawler with **** boxing skills, Kevin Mitchell mainly saw to that. I'm not against the fight but can't really see the benefit as a whole, to Amir's career. PS - I got Khan winning by wide UD/possible late TKO.
