    I don't see the point in fighting him now since he has went on to beat waaaaaaaaay better opponents and Prescott has done nothing since beating Khan. He has 2 losses after beating Khan for crying out loud.

      I feel Amir definitely needs to avenge his only loss. Firstly, Prescott isn't a top level fighter, while Khan is a superstar in the making (if not one already.) The loss to Prescott was devastating, so Khan needs to beat him to erase the only blemish on his resume and solidify his legacy. Otherwise no matter who he beats in the future, people will look back and say, "he still lost to a bum and never bothered to redeem himself." While some will always accuse him of being scared of Prescott.
      Then there's the issue of the chin. I think Khan's weight was one of the major reasons he was KO'd, and he has proven by moving up that he's got a solid chin. Perfect example was against Maidana. Even Judah threw a couple of good shots that didn't seem to bother Khan. But again, some will continue to call him "glass-jawed" until he withstands those shots from Prescott again.
      I think Khan outclasses Prescott if they fight again. By doing this he virtually erases his only loss and questions about his chin, while providing a perfect example of how much he's improved since '08.

        If Khan keeps going on the way he is no one will care about that one loss. Just like no one cares about Pacquiao's first 2 losses.

          Well you're one of those who won't. That doesn't mean no one will. The people that put him down now because of that loss, despite beating Maidana and Judah will continue to do so, even if he beats Mayweather. They'll say things like, "styles make fights, and Prescott's style is all wrong for Khan."
