Comments Thread For: Prescott Falls Over Laughing at Amir Khan Chin Hype

and did you see the fight?

Most likely not......

I'mma Khan fan and I actually want him to fight sluggers like Maidana, Mathysse and Prescott just because they'd be so easy for him. Not only would they be easy fights for him but those are the type fighters that can make him look good.

Its easier to look against sluggers then against technical or slick quick guys like Kotelnik, Malignaggi and Judah. With his skill, speed, height and reach advantage he can abuse those guys and put on a clinic. Plus he's shown he can take a punch so if they do land a big one he can take it.

Those guys are slow, have limited boxing skill, follow their opponents around the ring and come in straight lines. All they have is power. Once you take that away from them its like fighting a punching bag.

Good post I agree with this.

I am no Khan fan but Prescott needs to shut the *** up and do something bizzare like find a way to win a significant fight. He was running from a non-puncher in McClosky!!! You don't run from a guy who has what a 50% KO ratio?????? He should have been walking down McClosky. All he had to do was win that fight and he let off the gas.

This is the sad reality for you haters....had Khan been KO'd in 10th against Maidana....even though Khan was putting on a clinic till that point....NONE OF YALL would be crying for a rematch. Since Khan overcame great adversity, you still want to find a way to discredit him. Khan wants the best out there. Hes been calling out Bradley....took on the most biggest puncher in Maidana....he fought the slick fighters....yet hes still ducking and cherry picking? Khan can go 50-1 at the end of his career fighting all the top fighters, but the haters will always call him glass chin due to one fluke of a fight.

Are you kidding id have loved a rematch if he had been KO'd would have been funny as **** to watch it again. someone needs to put a clip of willie limond putting Khan down for the ten count but the ref letting him stand up take a knee on the 9 then stand up, well sus stuff. China chin Khan is just a con plain to see manufactured and buying his way to the top, ppl like Prescott dont have these privlages.

[richardt]

At least Khan has been willing to fight big fights. Bradley ran like a little b1tch and also avoided Shaw instead of going to Gary and being honest about his plans. I hope someone KO's Bradley before too long. He didn't have the balls to be honest with his manager. Khan doesn't cherry pick. He was ready to fight the best 140 pounder in the world, period.

No British Hater but, Peterson is the guy that was dominated and dropped by feather fisted Tim Bradley and given a gift draw against Ortiz. Kahn would make more money fighting Prescott or Maidana based on history than he would fighting anyone else not named Mayweather or Pacquiao. It amazes me and I think Kahn is the only top ten guy in boxing history that doesn't want to avenge his 57 second KO... Even, Roy went after Tarver after the KO. Plus his fans and boxing fans would love to see another Maidana fight... Most great fights like that get another fight. Frazier-Ali, Leonard-Duran, Gatti-Ward, Morales-Barrera, Pacquiao-Maorales, etc. etc. Kahn is a fraud and on borrowed time.

Wow...where do I start?

First of all the guys that Peterson lost to...are top fighters, and even though he lost nearly all the rounds against Bradley many of the rounds were competitive, and the Ortiz fight was also competitive and was close on the cards. Khan would make more money fighting in the UK...period, If that was his motivation. He is getting around $2 million a fight at the moment regardless of opponent.

You're theory on him being the only guy not to avenge a loss early in his career is complete nonsense, I am not going to waste my time listing examples, if you don't know then you are not really a boxing fan. Prescott has not done anything to put himself in a position to get a return with khan.

In terms of Maidana. How do you know that a rematch will not happen in the future?? Many of the examples you have given do not really compare to khan-maidana, and almost all of them were not immediate rematches. Since that fight Khan has unified the belts, what has Maidana done?? I would like to see the fight again, and for the record Maidana won 4 rounds at the most, so not really a disputed outcome. If Maidana actually beats someone good, and comes up to 147, I think the fight will happen.

Khan has a weak chin, but he absorbed over 20 power shots flush on the button after the one that make his legs go in R10.

[KillerRightHook]

The thing is, yes Khan absorbed Power shots from Maidana, but shots that are quicker, you have less time to prepare for, so you recieve more of a shock, and doesn't have a weak chin, he just doesn't have a good one, it's decent but whenever he is caught with a good shot, he wobbles.

And richardt, you are a Khan fan. Only a Khan fan would bring Bradley into the conversation. That ain't a bad thing but you don't need to pretend that you don't like somebody you actually like.

He's said multiple times that he doesn't want to fight Maidana... I said top ten guy. Early in his career??? Isn't he still early in his career? I said top 10 guy. I will repeat I never heard of a top 10 guy not wanting to avange his 57 second KO no matter at what stage it was in his career especially when the guy was a viable opponent and still in his weight class. Maidanna should beat someone good like who? Zab Judah? Paulie M.? McKloskey? Get out of here with that BS. When two fighters have a good fight the rematched is based on that. Not making a guy prove he belongs in the ring with you... DUHH the public and networks wouldn't want a rematch if it wasn't a good close fight the first time around... Kahn is fraud and he'll kill Bradley I'll give him that but he needs to stop talking so much **** when he doesn't want to fight Maidana or Prescott and I'm sure Guerrero will fight him when he's healthy as well.... He's a Fraud and he knows what will happen if he fights a Prescott or a Maidana again. So, that's why you'll see him fight McKloskey, Judah, Peterson, or M. Hatton, hell they might try to fight Paulie M again...

His chin is much better than it was at 135, you can see that by the punches he took from Maidana and other fighters at 140. It's probably still not an amazing chin but it looks alright now that he's learnt how to protect it properly.
