So what of Breidis Prescott

Probably hard to tell. I mean he was still up and coming in the same way as khan was so had only really fought bums, like pretty much every fighter does at that stage. He did seem a higher quality fighter than Khan, a lot more composed, looked tidy and even though he did **** him out, he saw the openings and went for them. Even though Khan has no chin, that knockout in 51 seconds is still brilliant work.
Too early to tell really but maybe he can cause a few upsets. I'll definitely keep an eye on him because if he gets a chance to fight some decent fighters, it could make for some interesting fights.
What i do know is Khan will never be as good as he thinks, or his deluded fans think. Having decent speed and no chin is about as much use as a Ferrari with no brakes.Last edited by CrookedRain; 09-08-2008, 10:16 AM.Comment

Most of the top, experienced skilled lightweights would be able to deal with his style. But most wouldnt want to take the risk
Khan clearly hasnt got the smarts or defence yet to deal with someone coming in throwing wild hooks.Comment

regarding the talk of a re-match, whether it's now or somewhere down the line and whether it's guts, lip service or ******ity he should never be allowed to fight this kid again, at least until he has mastered becoming a defensive genius along the lines of a Floyd Mayweather.Comment

I think he should move up to light welterweight. He's a big guy but he couldn't KO a guy with a only 10 fights (and 10 wins) which proberbly indicates he's going to struggle in a division like Lightweight where Diaz, Katsidis, Pacman, Marquez, Guzman, Campbell, Casa, Santa Cruz, Valero (now) and proberbly Soto. Light welter after Hatton retires should be wide open.Comment

This was the first time ive seen him fight. And he can ****, but thats about all i got to see from this short fight. Ill definatley tune in to his next fight as he will always have a punchers chance.Comment

To be fair to prescotts' record, even a lot of great fighters won some of their early fights by decisions, So you can't really hold that against him.Comment

Prescott appears to have good power judging by his record but his level of competition hasn't been good at all. His best win is of course against overhyped Khan who has bad punch resistance.
We won't know how good he is till he faces someone decent.Comment
