I feel Amir definitely needs to avenge his only loss. Firstly, Prescott isn't a top level fighter, while Khan is a superstar in the making (if not one already.) The loss to Prescott was devastating, so Khan needs to beat him to erase the only blemish on his resume and solidify his legacy. Otherwise no matter who he beats in the future, people will look back and say, "he still lost to a bum and never bothered to redeem himself." While some will always accuse him of being scared of Prescott.
Then there's the issue of the chin. I think Khan's weight was one of the major reasons he was KO'd, and he has proven by moving up that he's got a solid chin. Perfect example was against Maidana. Even Judah threw a couple of good shots that didn't seem to bother Khan. But again, some will continue to call him "glass-jawed" until he withstands those shots from Prescott again.
I think Khan outclasses Prescott if they fight again. By doing this he virtually erases his only loss and questions about his chin, while providing a perfect example of how much he's improved since '08.
100% dead on, I agree, you explained it better than me, thanks bra
If Khan keeps going on the way he is no one will care about that one loss. Just like no one cares about Pacquiao's first 2 losses.
Well you're one of those who won't. That doesn't mean no one will. The people that put him down now because of that loss, despite beating Maidana and Judah will continue to do so, even if he beats Mayweather. They'll say things like, "styles make fights, and Prescott's style is all wrong for Khan."

I don't see the point in fighting him now since he has went on to beat waaaaaaaaay better opponents and Prescott has done nothing since beating Khan. He has 2 losses after beating Khan for crying out loud.
Nah not really,anybody can see Khan is a lot better(skill wise)and stronger..If he takes the fight I won't be mad at him,he should want to clear that whole thing up anyway...But if I'm Khan I'm not even thinking bout Prescott...
If I were Khan, I would want that rematch. But really, he doesn't need to fight Prescott again. Everyone knows that Khan put his chin on a silver platter for Prescott and Roach won't let that happen again. His style has changed. Just like Pacquaio and Wladimir didn't need to rematch their losses, neither does Khan.
Eventually those losses will fade in the eyes of real boxing fans but will always be ammo for the haters, but haters don't really matter cuz really, they only hate themselves.
I'll also add,if I were Khan & I knew Prescott couldn't beat me,You could bet your life I would have kicked his a$$ to make sure the world knew.Like His country man Lennox Lewis did.That's beat everyone he faced.
It's like this,in reality Khan doesn't need to fight Prescott,period.But at the same time,people who support Khan,(or anyone in his gym),shouldn't say that Ortiz needs to fight Maidana.
Khan has moved on & walked the dogs on fighters litterally twice as good as him.Just like Ortiz went on to become a welterweight champion while Maidana has been in action fights coming up short against the divisions best & making an Old Mexican legend look spectacular against him.

you can't tell if he has improved until he fights the guy who knocked him the fuuck out. Fighting past prime little guys dont mean shiit. Fight the one that beat your ass. Thats how you tell. how is he risking being called out for ducking by rematching, Prescott is the only one to beat him. Thats why it makes perfect since to rematch. Your an idiot.
I dont necessarily think he HAS to, since he already beat a few fighters better than Prescott now anyway, but...
I mean, wtf, why not? The guy has a nasty first round knockout over you in your only loss. Why wouldnt you want to avenge that and be able to say you beat every guy youve been in the ring with?
I mean the guy changed his nickname to the 'Khanqueror'. COME ON MAN. Id make that guy my priority if I were Khan right now, lol.
If Khan fights Prescott then he risks being called out for 'ducking' someone else. It's a lose/lose situation. Now, if Prescott makes a real name for himself and they are still in the same division--then a real case can be made for a rematch.

khan will never beat Prescott. Believe me the blue print is there cause of prescott. How can you carry the strap when your only defeat is active in your weight class, talking shiit about he koed you in 1 round, and you not want to kick his ass. Thats garbage, any real champion want some get back. Khan is a fagg. Anyone who supports this kind of shiiit is a fagg to. Respect is earned where I come from. This ass kissing, over night legend bull shiiit is garbage. If someone takes something from you, go get it back. Don't run and hide and pretend that person doesn't exisist. It makes you look like a sucker.
Waste of time. Khan is at world level now and should be fighting world class opponents which is what he is doing. If Prescott ever gets there then a rematch would be great.
He doesn't need to prove he has improved by beating Prescott, its very clear he has improved since then. If you watch him in the Kotelnik fight and then watch the Judah fight he looks like a totally different fighter which is amazing in a such a short space of time. Freddie Roach has done wonders for him.
The rematch was intriguing for some time after because Khan's chin was very suspect, but now that he has taken the punches of hard hitting 140 pounders Maidana and Judah, i don't feel the rematch is necessary.
I'd still want to see it but i'd rather see Khan fight guys like Timmeh,Guerrero.
Its a waste of time for Khan at this point. Same reason nobody is asking for Martinez to rematch Margarito. Every fight fan on the planet knows who wins both of these fights now.
you guys are fags, just like PUCCY Khan. lol
Your credibility here is zero and calling people fags doesn't prove your point anymore than size 20 red fonts.

How is it pointless when thier both activelly fighting in the same weight class. Thats bull dokey, Khan needs to step up and rematch Prescott before moving to another weight class. Thats ducking in its purest form, plain and simple. I believe Prescott has his number and khan knows it. Thier both the same size, and the punch that hurt khan was a perfect timed left hook on the chin while khan was jumping in Jabing,lol. Khans style is the exact same as it was on that night. He makes the same mistake over and over. Prescott would catch him with that same punch again and khan knows it, and so do you, thats why your afraid for him to rematch, lol. Stop this garbage about its pointless, if all fighters thought like you we would never have great rivals like Ali vs Fraiser - Gotti VS WARD - Costillio vs Carrles - Lenard vs hearns - Lenard vs Duran - you guys are fags, just like PUCCY Khan. lol
I just watched the vid. You might be on to something. I'm not sure. The fight was at lightweight
i agree to some extent with him...khan should have rematched prescott immediately. that ship has since sailed though and its a pointless fight now IMO
