I remember this fight,very exciting...But it was also the first place I seen Khan to be a really flawed fighter...But it's also the fight in which I found out that Khan is a very fun exciting fighter..I still feel both ways..Very good and informative fight..

Just shows then that Khan has a lot of heart but man the guys defence back then to now hasn't changed. As soon as he got KO'd by Prescott he should have looked at going to a more defence minded coach who teach him at least the basics of having a good defence. Warning signs were always there.
A rematch against Prescott would be interesting.
Even in a fight you can figure out,hey my chance to survive is to approach my opponent in a more careful(defensive)manner..But if that is just not part of your mental make up,you might know it but will never apply it..IMO this is Khan's biggest flaw and a reason he will/has loss a lot of big fights..His pride..
I agree a rematch with Prescott is very interesting,and very dangerous..

Want another example if it helps?
Maidana was paid step aside money so Khan wouldn't have to fight him for a year. After the year was up Khan still didn't want nothing to do with him. Maidana had to write a begging letter to his organization to force the fight. Are you disputing this?
Khan shows a lot of heart when he fights, I've said this before and he is in exciting fights but let's not act like he has never dodged a fighter or taken an easier option. Its a myth

There was some good corner work in Khan's corner...Khan has always had problems with fighters that are,or around his height...

Lmao at Khan telling the ref that it was a push. He didn't even know where the hell he was. Khan had always been a pathetic twat.

Watching this makes me realize how much Khan hasn't changed. He went up to 140, which probably made a difference in his conditioning/punch resistance, but he still fights in virtually the same manner. A lot of flurries, nervous energy, leaning in as he throws and losing his balance. He even got hurt in an exchange with a sneaky overhand right due to his own over-zealousness. Left hook and overhand right, he still has problems seeing those shots coming. His offense is predictable and he's defensively irresponsible.
When is Khan gonna get the message that he fights in a manner that will always get him in trouble?Last edited by kiaba360; 01-28-2013, 05:13 PM.
