Comments Thread For: Prescott Accepts De La Hoya's Idea For Khan in The UK

[LeadUppercut]

I'm well up for this fight and I believe this fight either makes or breaks Khan. A loss now and its curtains for his career and a win over the guy who flattened him so brutally would fill his sails with all the wind in the world.

Im not so sure Khan will want this fight though, I reckon he wants Peterson 2 immediately. I hope Peterson doesn't give it to him though and we get this instead and then the Peterson 2 fight follows later this year

I agree. Since moving to the states, IMHO, Khan should never have seriously considered Prescott as a legitimate opponent. He is not a world class fighter. But now, Prescott looks to be a very good option if Amir cannot immediately land a rematch with Peterson. Hoya is right, that would be a great UK fight for Amir to get things back on track.

Khan already has trouble with taller fighters so he would be better served to stay away from Prescott until he learns how to fight inside properly. Trading with Prescott the way he did with Lamont would get Khan flat lined again... Prescott is learning and gaining experience from his loses as he was beating Alvarado to a bloody pulp before he gassed and Alvarado lucked up, and imo he clearly beat Mccloskey...

not sure how much this helps kahn, it seems like a step backwards in comp, if kahn wins who cares, kahn could drag the ghost, rios, alvarado, or any other notable 140 pounder to the uk. i think kahn wins the rematch with prescott cuz prescott is not a inside fighter and stayin on the outside with kahn would be curtains for prescott. as long as kahn stays away from good inside fighters he should be okay

de la hoya might want khan and prescott but i don't think khan wants it. i think he believes like i believe....prescott has his number.

Prescott will beat Khan, he was destroying Alvardo then got tired. He just has to train very hard, be in shape, which I think he will be and he will easily beat Khan.

Junior welterweight contender Breidis Prescott (24-4, 19 KOs) is ready to pack his bags and travel to the UK for a rematch with former WBA/IBF champion Amir Khan (26-2, 18KOs). Khan's promoter Oscar De La Hoya recently told his social network followers that a Prescott rematch would be perfect way for Khan to bounce back from last month's split decision loss to Lamont Peterson.

Styles make fights and Prescott's wide hooks will floor Khan into oblivion.

[Ringlife]

Good fight to make right now plus he gets his get backs I am mean Peterson doesn't look like he wants to fight Khan again so Khan should fight this guy first and if Peterson is still there than fight him only if Peterson is still the champion with his two belts then go for Bradley.

Don't mind the idea.

Have Khan fight Prescott in March/April, while Peterson could fight Alvarado, Rios, or Matthysse.

Also, Prescott was only out-boxing Alvarado the first 4 rounds, from rounds 5 till the end, Alvarado cut the distance and was ripping Prescott up on the inside and KO'd him. Yes, Prescott was up on the scorecards, but only by a point or two. Alvaradow on rounds 5-8 no doubt and round 9 was close, than Mike KO'd him.

Alvarado is basically the same style and fighter as Brandon Rios. I'd love to see Rios, Alvarado, or even Maidana all fight each other. Those would be some action packed bouts.

I like it.

It would be over for Khan though if he loses again.

Perfect. Now if you're all you say you are, if you're all the public thought you were, go knock out this hard hitting rube that dismantled YOU, then come back and extend a rematch to Marcos Maidana for a lot more money, just as Prescott is extending to you, and prove Maidana is NOT the better man, contrary to everyone's belief. Should you come out of those two fights clearly on top, then you're back to being the man, you led everyone to believe you were! Robert Guerrero got yellow and scared, after he claimed to have a tore rotator cuff, cancelling his fight with Maidana, now having no interest in making that fight a reality afterall. DON'T DO THAT, KHAN! Guerrero wants to fight everyone now EXCEPT for Maidana. Tim 'Barely' (Bradley), Lamont Peterson, and everyone else you want to fight will still be around. Go take out Prescott and Maidana and you'll be back in the driver's seat.

that was a funny title you had to your post...wouldn't mind seeing the rematch...If Peterson gives the rematch fine...otherwise Bradley showed interest, and then you got Prescott. Alot of good choises for Khan, he shouldn't be desperate for a rematch now. Do either one of the 3
