    he probably faced the worst possible fighter he could - prescotts not a top ten lightweight but his style didnt work for khan

    khan would have more chance against manny paquiao than he would against prescott - coz as good as manny is hes not a knockout artist, he usually outclases people on boxing skill and wears you down

    i think khan will learn a lot from this fight with prescott

    theres a lot of good fighters at 135pnds who khan would beat

    1 - david diaz
    2 - yuri romanov
    3 - michael katsidis

    true story

    some people will find it hard to believe after a bad defeat to an unknown colombian - but this is how things work

      I'm not a 100% sure what people mean by a protected British fighter. But what they probably mean is that since khan has a large fanbase in his country, they keep him over there and not to the US. Plus he only fights opponents that r considered "good" by British fans. But those opponents r completely unknown to the north American fan. So as long as they can keep his countrymen beleiving that he's actually an elite fighter, the longer they can keep raking in the cash.

Others say that khan was finally exposed as a protected British fighter with no real talent to fight on a high level. It seems clear to me what happened but I'd like to know what u guys think. Everyone vote on the poll so we can figure this mess out
        can't be a fluke because khan has tasted canvas against smaller fighters.

          First of all, at this point in khans career, he doesn't have a chance in hell to beat the pacman, marquez, Campbell, Diaz, or guzman(fatty). By the time he's ready(if he ever is ready),it'll be four years from now and all these guys, except for maybe juan Diaz, will be retired. I do agree with u that he'll beat yuri, and david Diaz. (maybe).... But I still don't think he'll beat katsidis

            You're only saying that because of the Diaz fight. Diaz has a chin of steel compared to Khan. Pac would knock Khan down with a straight left very easily, Khan hasn't seen that type of speed especially from the southpaw stance.

            Also, Katsidis would destroy Khan quite easily. Katsidis throws powerful wide hooks that are easy to defend if you fight from a shell like Juan Diaz, but can crush a glass-jawed fighter with no defense like Khan.

              Like most have said you can't descredit Khan as talentless.

              He is obviously very talented, with an awful awful chin.

                I agree. Khan might have a bright FUTURE(maybe). But isn't it a joke how his fans think that he can actually be competitive with PAC or anyother elite lightweight out there!..

                  I was pretty surprised they had him in there with a dangerous power puncher, who is undefeated and relatively unknown. I mean surely they knew Khan doesn't have a great chin.....seemed like a pretty big risk going into the fight (which obviously now looking back was a bad mistake).

                    Khan charged in against an unkown puncher - ******!

                    Prescott from the short time i seen him looked the buisness, im expecting good things from him but i cant say for sure after less than a minuites viewing!
                    Khan for his part has it all except a half decent chin! Fighters with Khan like talent and a **** chin have made it before so i aint gonna write him off yet but i can see him getting Crushed again before his career is out!
