khan looked like crap against a slow systematic Maidana, any real good worthy opponent will spank his nalgas.

Real men do rematches. They don't walk around like PAc does today...not rematching Singsurat or Torrecampo, or Kostya not rematching Phillips, or Wlad K not rematching Sanders. Real men do real rematches... Khan needs to rematch Prescott to show fans that Prescott doesn't have his number-****having a title.Comment

I can't say I didn't know this was coming.... Kahns ego is going to become super sized, even more so then it was before the Maidana fight.
If, or when Bradley beats Alexander don't be surprised if a fight between Kahn and Bradley takes a year or more to make. More then likely, Kahn is going to continue with the "priced himself out" and "he'll make more than he's ever made before if he fights me (so that means I should dictate how much money he makes LOL)" routine with anyone not named Mayweather. Even then I would not be surprised if Kahn demanded a higher split then HE himself deserves against Floyd.
If you think Kahns ego was huge before the Maidana fight, believe me, you ain't seen nothin yet.... If JMM supposively "priced himself out" twice already in negotiating with Kahn, BEFORE the Maidana fight - How much do you think Kahn is going to say Bradley is worth? He has already told the world (before fighting Maidana) that he believed that Maidana was better then Alexander AND Bradley, and that taking on Maidana meant he was "taking on #1 straight away." So, if Amir thinks he just beat #1 (and look how hard it was for Maidana to negotiate $$$), can you imagine the kind of things we're going to hear from Amir during negotiations to fight Tim Bradley?? Amir: "Tim Bradley doesn't deserve to be paid as much as Maidana got paid because Maidana is better then Tim, and I beat Maidana."
As much as Kahn and the HBO commentators want to say that Kahn CHOSE to fight Maidana, the fact is that - had Chino not been Amirs mandatory, and if a purse bid not been ordered, we probably would have never seen Kahn vs Maidana. If Maidana had not gone on to petition the commision for a mandatory purse split bid, Kahn would have been able to walk away and simply say that Maidana was not willing to negotiate and gone on to fight someone else.
Right or wrong, I just can't stand the way Kahn acts like he deserves to call all the shots. How is it that Amir Kahn, at age 22 (at the time), with only 25 fights (at the time) that weren't exactly "newsworthy" (with the exception of HIM being brutally knocked out in the 1st round by a stepping stone) - is the end all and shot caller? How is it that every fighter worth their weight that Team Kahn negotiates with is "over pricing themselves"?? As an example - telling a legend and a warrior like JMM that he has "priced himself out of a fight" with the likes of Kahn, who has done virtually nothing IN COMPARISON to JMM, is laughable and is what leaves so many fans with a bitter taste when it comes to Amir Kahn IMHO. Again, I believe whole heartedly that we have only just seen a small preview of what is yet to come in "The World according to Kahn".
Don't get me wrong, I do acknowledge Kahns improvements and respect his skills... it's just his attitude, and the things he says outside of the ring that leaves so much to be desired, and is what I think keeps people from becoming full fledged fans of the man himself (much like FMJ). He hasn't done enough yet though, IMO, to have the kind of superiority complex that he has at this time (unlike FMJ).
[Side note: I realize that Kahn won a silver medal in the Olympics... Many fighters were outstanding amateurs and some were/are Olympic medal winners. However, I don't recall those fighters, at Kahns age, coming in to the Pros and acting the way he has so early off in their career.]Comment

IMHO, Prescott will not win again against Khan, because Khan performances since his lone lost, is ascending. Unlike Prescott who is sliding down since then. Though I believe Khan will win against Prescott at this time, it won't be easier for Khan to beat him!
