Yet with Manny Pacquiao you never mention Medgoen Singsurat or Rustico Torrecampo?
Yet with Juan Manuel Marquez you never mention Freddie Norwood or Javier Duran?
Yet with Bernard Hopkins you never mention Clinton Mitchell?
I just don't see the difference. All these guys are irrelevant in comparison to the names they have fought. Yet with Khan the haters want to keep Prescott in our consciousness as a way of discrediting all of Amir's great achievements?
Also, the craziest part is that it was Prescott who was heavily chasing the rematch.
thats where khans ego gets in the way again, lol, instead of khan trying to get a rematch, lol, he dismisses prescott as a nobody just trying to cash in on the khan name, lol, khan is too proud, lol, he shouldve foght prescott, lol, khan was always better than prescott but he shouldve just shut his mouth and seeked redemption vs prescott, lol,
Khan hasn't been in the upper echelon of any division since he beat Zab Judah way back in the summer of 2011. Quit lying to yourself.
Name 10 fighters better than Khan in either 140 or 147. You cant. He's a top fighter you're the one lying to yourself out of hate.
The guy has talent but his fans should just relax and let him work,instead of trying to give his props for stuff he has yet to do..ok you believe in him fine but let him keep growing
the way that israel vasquez did, lol, many fighters have that talent, if a fighter with that talent doesnt get marketed right, lol, he becomes a fernando vargas, lol, great potential but too much heart for his own good
A highly touted amateur star getting KO'ed within seconds of round 1 in a pro fight is pretty humiliating. You want to rematch that guy and give a better showing of yourself.
Neither Marquez, Hopkins, or Pacquiao were seen as much of anything when they lost. And Hopkins and Marquez didn't exactly get destroyed. Pacquiao and Khan should have wanted that rematch. I don't think Khan likes rematching guys that give him a tough time though. I imagine you also think it's perfectly fine for Khan to stay the hell away from Danny Garcia and Marcos Maidana as well? Because they're so irrelevant and Khan is the king now at WW. Only fighter Khan wanted to rematch was Peterson, because he's a light puncher.
Khan is the type of fighter that would fight the best, most dangerous fights, but once he loses to them, he does not even want to attempt to avenge the loss. It's a strange mentality. Fight the best, but if they beat you, move on and keep fighting the best, oh yeah and keep losing and never try to rematch them again with a better gameplan. In the very least, he's willing to fight the best, i'm not hating.well said, every little point,
one last thing about khan is his giant ego, lol, he talks too much and laughs at others all the time, when people saw him k.o;d in that k.o fashion, lol, the khan haters were out in swarms using that knokk out against khan, lol, if khan didnt have this massive ego, he wouldve been another fighter on the rise that was knokked out, lol, since khans reputation was so high profile, lol, he got massacred by the media and worst of all, the khan haters
Because it's pretty much a convenient way to hate on Khan. Khan doesn't have a good chin but it gets overplayed. He got caught early by a big puncher and tried to exchange while hurt.
What i am saying is why are Khan fans trying to rush this guy?? he seems to be getting better, relax and let the man grow damn.stop trying to shove him down our throats..if he is good it will show..chill out
I can respect that Larry, it's rare to go a day here without people slinging mud at him over hurdles he's overcome or learned to deal with years ago. He is a top name, he's top 5 in the welterweight division.
I want to see the kell brook fight next.

Neither Marquez, Hopkins, or Pacquiao were seen as much of anything when they lost. And Hopkins and Marquez didn't exactly get destroyed. (How about Pacquaio?)Pacquiao and Khan should have wanted that rematch. (Why didn't Pacquiao?) I don't think Khan likes rematching guys that give him a tough time though.

Khan has always called for the Garcia rematch because he was busting him up bad until he got clipped. I deliberately didn't mention his name because he is a relevant fight and not the point in making. In the same way I didn't mention Pacquiaos loss to marquez.
i think this is khans real weight class, he will prove this like he did with alexander and hes shown potential,
its like wlad, wlad used to get k.od by lessers, he started to do things different(with help of stewart), now wlad no longer has chin problems, lol, khan just needs to change few things, lol, then khan becomes the man who he set out to be
khan will need to find the inner him and when he does, lol, hes a problem to everyone in the world
The guy has talent but his fans should just relax and let him work,instead of trying to give his props for stuff he has yet to do..ok you believe in him fine but let him keep growing
People make the dumbest excuses on here, Prescott has been at the short end of two horrible decisions, McCloskey and Garcia. The man is still active and refining his skills too, you make it seem as though he's retired.
I don't really think it has anything to do with Prescott really. Khan has always been known to have a questionable chin since well before Prescott. Prescott just re-affirmed it.
But Prescott did get him outta there in under a minute if I'm not mistaken. So it's an lol thing.

are you really a khan fan?? first you said over 10 years ago and edited..and no it was 18 fights
i dont recall how many fights it was in to his career, thus i put a "?" at the end of the sentence, but thanks for answering
like i said it was early into his career and it was a beautiful shot, he bounced back like a true champion, i do recall after that loss khan was written off by everyone..

Yes if baffles me how they bring up a fight from over 7 years ago when inexperienced Khan was thrown in with a unknown entity. He was what 9 fights into his career?
Although that Prescott loss was the greatest thing to happen to Khan because he found out how much work he still had to do, he has come a long way

its major due to the fact that khan was k.od in one round, not tko'd but out cold...................
morales had a beating by zahir raheem
cotto had a disgusting one vs trout
chavez sr. had one against frankie randall
tyson had one against buster douglas(people call that the upset of the century)
castillo has 2 against javier jauregui
etc.
Larry Logic: Manny Pacquaio isn't in the upper echelon of the welterweight division because he refused to rematch Medgoen Singsurat or Rustico Torrecampo.
It doesn't matter when it happened, there's no cut off date that we can pin down as 'relevance', all we have to go on is where both fighters are after that fight. Prescott hasn't had a notable win, khan has unified world titles and in the sweepstakes to face the biggest names in the sport.
What I'm arguing is prescotts name belongs in the same irrelevant pile as those other fighters.
No man my logic is what has Khan down to be a top ww?

manny was a malnourished boxer without any quality training what so ever and without proper eating habits. Marquez was Dq'd. That was hopkins first profressional fight as a boxer.
Khan was an up and comer with great training, great nutrition and with plenty of fights under his belt. And that was just his first defeat. Then he got knocked the F out a few fights later. And inbetween those knockouts, he almost got knocked out by fn maidana. He had chances to prove he wasnt chinny but he failed the test multiple times shortly after.
Not the same thing at all
Please. Khan has only been knocked out since by Danny Garcia. That was partly the result of a terrible camp where his trainer left him for a large stretch of it to work with Chavez in New Mexico for his fight with Andy Lee. You say Pacquaio was badly trained, Khan wasn't trained. All he had was a strength and conditioner for most of the Garcia fight camp.
My point remains.
