    He went on to make millions and have huge fights, and is still relevant...

    Maybe if prescott didnt lose a bunch since then a rematch would be in demand but the dude has lost everytime he has stepped up... Crawford just outclassed him...

    Prescott should be thankful that he even has a win over khan because without it he would be a nobody.....

    Tyson did just fine without rematching buster...
    Hearns did just fine without rematching hagler
    Duran did just fine without rematching hearns...

    Yes i like it when guys rematch guys who have beaten them but its not a deal-breaker in my book... Could careless about prescott-khan 2
    Wladimir also did fine without rematching Sanders.

      He was right to avoid him. Should have avoided alot of other fighters too.

        No surprise only because an Amir Khan loss, a boatload of excuses and a scapegoat always go hand in hand.

          Besides, it's not like Khan was fighting worse fighters than Prescott in the meantime. It's not a duck if you're fighting better fighters than someone who wants to fight you, especially if the guy you're "ducking" never wins the fights he needs to.
          Quoted for truth. Ever since he upset a very green and overconfident Khan, Prescott has lost all his significant fights. He got his ears boxed off by the mighty Kevin Mitchell, and went life and death with Paul McCloskey, whom Khan toyed with. His best win since Khan was... Bayal Jargal maybe? Meanwhile, Khan fought six legitimate top 10 junior welters, and beat four of them.

          When the winner is begging the loser for a rematch, you know something went wrong with his career...
