This fight is NOT gonna happend this is Bull**** Amir "Chinny" Khan is talking alot of crap. The next story is gonna be Presscot did not want to fight hahaha. presscot will want to fight him but Frank Warren would not make that fight he will lose alot if Khan gets K.O'd again. If khan really wants it then it would happend and if it does he will get knocked out AGAIN.
So, why would he take it? The obvious, and only, answer is purely for the money. OK, it's almost certainly the biggest paying fight he can get right now... but compared with the alternatives is it really big enough to justify the risk, Prescott is perfectly well aware Khan has decent chances even if the outcome is by no means certain. Warren will put up a truckload of money, but I have doubts it will be a large enough truck, and Khan does have enough alternatives to stop Prescott pulling the strings.Comment

I suspect this will be the standard "Bull****" and "crap" response fron Khan haters if this fight doesn't happen, but you might want to ask yourselves WHY would Prescott want to fight him again, if not for a belt? He's fought Khan, and KO'd him in the first... not exactly normal circumstances for demanding a rematch, hmm? Does Prescott get a better resume if his wins? Nope. Does he go higher in the rankings? Nope. For him there is little to gain, but an awful lot to lose. It's just like Barrera in a way, you need to consider the other guy's motives and objectives before screaming 'rematch'.

But 12 rounds against an uninjured Barrera would be a very good test for Khan, it wouldn't be pointless at all. As I keep pointing out, it's easy for a fast, athletic fighter to look good for less than a round against a slower and smaller fighter (once Barrera was cut he could no longer judge distance and the rest of the fight was a travesty). Over 12 rounds it's a whole different ball game.
Frazier barely landed a punch for the first 4 rounds of his first fight with Ali, but he started to catch up with him in round 5, and after that it became a war of attrition. Khan's stamina under pressure has never been tested, and it was as unfortunate for Khan as it was for Barrera that the cut happened, because he needs to come through a test like the one an uninjured Barrera could have given him, at this stage in his career.Last edited by Dave Rado; 03-24-2009, 02:38 PM.Comment
