Come on Khan fans...

[dan_cov]

Has Khan ever ruled out a rematch with Prescott? No

Has Khan gone on record saying that if Prescott works his way into contention the rematch will happen? Yes

Is it Khans Fault that Prescott has lost twice and looked largely unimpressive ever since his fluke win against Khan? No

Again i really dont see the problem the onus is very much on Prescott to win his upcoming fight and it will go from there.

Sure Prescott lost twice but the two guys he lost two wasn't exactly scrubs. Lewis lost to McCall, McCall lost to Bruno, Lewis still went & avenged that loss.

Simply put if Prescott beats McCloskey which I personally believe he will then Khan needs to avenge that loss, if he don't, he is ruining his own legacy and well, he is running scared.

can nobody touch khan right now , none...not bradley, not mathysee, not alexander and certainly not guerrero......maidana on the other hand, im not so sure about in the rematch...

and **** presscott...

[-Lowkey-]

The issue is that dancovboxer has pointed out there has been cherry picking in Khan's career and although he did eventually fight and beat Maidana he only did so when he was given the option of dropping his belt or fighting. Like it or not I can see where dancovboxer is coming from. I don't agree with him 100% but his points are not as outlandish as many Khan fans claim. When the Maidana fight is cited as evidence of a non ducking policy when you look at the facts that is a farce.

You could make a case about any top boxer cherry picking during his career to say otherwise is absurd the fact of the matter is though Khan has the best resume at 140 so if Khan is a cherry picker what does that make everyone else in the division? People are always going to be crying out to fight the top guy and biggest draw in any particular division and Khan is that top guy at 140 so he is no different he will have 1 more fight at 140 before moving up and his opponent is yet to be announced. He cant fight everyone. He already tried to make a fight with the former top guy of the division in Bradley

Oh get out, just go.
McCloskey is a euro bum thats best win was against Lauri, he has fought no other notable opponent. He was a huge 6/1 underdog for a reason. That reason being he hadn't beat anybody worth a damn, he has extra no power & is a defensive clown that belongs on Dancing with the stars.
He isn't even a full time boxer, boxing is a hobbie, he is a damn potato farmer.

McCloskey was actuallly ranked #10 at Jr WW so he infact was in the Top 10 when Khan fought him.

As was Paulie Malignaggi, Marcos Maidanna, Anreas Kotelnik and Zab Judah.

Bradley probably couldn't, Alexander almost certainly couldn't.

Matthysse IMO would beat him.

Guerrero would be a very interesting match.

Prescott, well...


But could you imagine if he rematched Prescott and got knocked out again, haha oh you poor Khan fans!

Why move up though? There is unfinished business at 140. He'd get some big paydays for them as well. God the kid is so protected it's unreal.
Yh I suppose you could make that case with the exception of the Klitschko brothers, B-Hop, Vic, Froch/Ward who are all at the top and have beaten/fought just about everybody worth a damn and ducked nobody.

Fact is that the only concern Khan has as far as boxing goes is "how can it increase my bank balance".

Ducking and diving, ruthless management, clever match making to make him look good all while his blind fans and the general public :wank: in his face.

I say again, the guy has skills but he isn't someone who deserves respect, him and his team are nothing but a dodgy businessmen in it for themselves - screw the fans, screw the sport, screw legacy.

Nonsense you only need to have a basic understanding of Khans career to realise this is false.

Khan is a guy that was a millionaire before the age of 20.

He is a guy that left his old promoter Frank Warren to join GBP and fight for considerably less money against higher quality opponents. If it was all about the money he could of stayed in England headlined Warrens cards and made millions without any real threat.

He is also a guy who was willing to give away 50% of his UK PPV money in order to make a fight against a guy then considered as top guy in the division.

Does this all sound like a guy who is only in it to increase his bank balance? I think no.

I agree with you,the fact is dancovboxer said there has been cherry picking in Khan's career and loads of Khan fans said no way and clearly he is right. I don't have a problem with it especially in the development stage and I am a Khan fan. The point I am making is that dancovboxer's claims are not as outlandish as some of the Khan fans claim.

Amir Khan Silver Medalist in Olympics earned himself a big name on these shores from that tournament and was seen as the shining light of boxing's future. So there is a difference between Khan who has quite a following which supports him very well economically (millionaire by the time he was 20) asking for Floyd Mayweather fight and Lucas Matthysse asking for the fight.

Khan won a title against Kotelnik - A guy he shut out for 12 rounds and most people believe Kotelnik beat Alexander, a guy you credit Bradley for as a big win.

Khan defended his title in his home town against his mandatory challenger, an undefeated Dimitri Salita, he could do this as there would be enough money in it to make it happen.

Khan fought Malignaggi in his first US fight - An exposure fight as Malignaggi is a know name, this fight proceeded in making him bigger in America.

Khan fought Maidana in his second US fight - People expected Khan would duck Maidana after he recently TKOed Victor Ortiz - yes a guy who is fighting Mayweather next (so why can't Khan ask for that again?), Khan fought through adversity and ended up winning.

Khan fought McCloskey in the UK as he was a mandatory challenger and top 10 ranked fighter, also undefeated.

Khan then went back to the US to fight another well known name in Zab Judah who was also a Champion, this was only after Bradley turned down 50% of Sky Box office money and openly ducked Khan for all to see. Zab Judah also holds a win over Matthysse, you may say he lost that fight but hell he still did better than Alexander did. Khan obliterated Judah.

To address Prescott, it may happen as Khan has said but Prescott has lost to two fighters now well below Khan's level.

So once again, what has Khan done wrong?
