People should really stop using Amir Khans age as an excuse...

kahn should never have been main event on box office £15 for someone wiv 16 bum fights to his name. i bet prescott couldnt believe his luck a chance to prove him self in front of that many viewers should do wonders ror his career.

Seriously its getting annoying, "people keep forgetting hes 21 years old...", "hes only 21 yrs old he needs a chance to improve, did ricky hatton fight good competition at 21 years old?"

Firstly Amir Khan is on sky box office where people must pay to watch him fight, whether hes 21 or not is not the point, he should be satisfying the viewers not fighting bums who are just there for a pay cheque. Secondly Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe at 21 yrs old weren't even on sky sports, never mind sky box office. (it took joe 20 fights to get reconized).

I admit he looked impressive fighting a guy who just came there to collect a cheque. Into he fights his demons against Bredes Prescott he hasn't got a leg to stand on, if he beats Bredes and then starts winning at least one world title. (vacant included) i'll start paying to watch him.... but guys stop using Amirs age as an excuse as I just proved that age shouldn't mean anything if you're on sky box office. To make matters worst, Mike Tyson was the most feared man in boxing at 20 and Naseem Hamed was the youngest brit to win a world title.

yep your right people should'nt use hs age against him, the fact he's **** is all you need to know.

Nah I don't think hes ****... ****? Look at 3/4 of the boxers in the world.... Hes just massively over-rated, many people in the usa and stuff see him as a superstar along the lines of calzaghe and hatton.

[ironalex]

hes 22 years old, and?! wilfred benitez won the WORLD title at 17! whatever happens now, amirs chin will still be dodgy. he still has not worked on things such as inside fighting, all he does is tie the guy up and look for the referee to break them(some refs wont allow this and allow fighters to work in the inside), khan still an amateur fighter.

[Wyson]

i do agree with this statement...people need time to grow in boxing and build their fan base so no one should be saying anything

[.:PRINCE:.]

People always talk about Prescott being a 'decent' fighter and even he beat Khan, he's clearly more than that, and in that match it was definately Khan the underdog. The only reason people bash Khan is because nobody knows much of Prescott here in England, but back in Columbia he's had a heck of a record (check his stats) and is much better than Khan's was at the time. Even still, yes, a 1st round knockout is pretty embarassing, but mistakes happen to everyone. Give the kid a break.

I do however blame Frank Warren abit becuase they make Khan seem like a golden boy, but he's really got quite a step to get there first.

[DJ QUIK]

Blame Frank Warren not Khan, thats the 1st thing, 2ndly the age thing the boy is still growing.

The problem is, since the Olympics he has been pushed down our throats and people are getting sick and tired of him, being this big name boxer due to hype but in reality he is still an up & commer who is still learning

amirs 22 u ****** **** and get off his **** hell be great in the end thats all that matters

The trouble with khan , he believes in his own hype, it wasn't that long ago he was telling every one he was ready for a world title (LOL) world title! he hasn't fought the best of the UK or Europe. Khan had a name as a top amateur so did Audley Harrison, but as a pro he's not going to make it, he can't take a punch, come on guys don't be taken in by all the hype, Khan still fights like an amateur, frank Warren will milk him as long as he can.
