    Khan should have rematched Prescott immediatley after the first fight. By not doing so he waited till Prescott lost a fight and now is using that as a excuse to duck him. I think it was a fluke and Khan would win a rematch pretty easily, but i dont think Amir is so confident or he would want to avenge that loss.

    Mcklosky is kinda crafty and has decent power, but he was never a threat to Khan and Khan hit him when he pleased. On paper hes a bad style matchup for Prescott who doesnt do well with movers or counterpunchers, but McKlosky would probably have to bring his best or its nighty night for him. Prescott has alot of tools to be great, but doesnt use his jab enough and starts throwing hayemakers a mile away. Good thing hes very tough and durable because hes a ko waiting to happen. He gets very reckless and focuses on power or loading up way too much thats where he gets outboxed like Vasquez and Mitchell did. Im not sold on Mcklosky I only like his uppercut, but he only looks good beating the ghost of Cesar Bazan and delivery drivers.

    Very true! That way we would have seen Haye- Thompson II rather than Haye chasing Wlad, and Doniare should rematch some random rather than looking for mega money fights! :patsch

    Khan already beat a better, harder hitting version of Prescott in Maidana, he has nothing to prove. If Prescott is so hung up on rematches, perhaps he should fight Kevin Mitchell first, as he practically schooled him

    good point, but check it out, sometimes fighters that aren't necessarly great have great fighter's number, kinda like Vernon Forrest had Mosley's number, and what did Forrest go onto do????? Get KO'ed by Mayorga and drop a decision to Mora (Mora is a class fighter though) but R.I.P to Forrest though

    Khan should fight Prescott in an over the weight, non title fight just for revenge. Fighters of today are so ****in scared to rematch guys who beat them its a shame. There are a few who do immediate rematches, but more often then not, they are content to move on with their careers after a loss, and its called a great business move by managers mostly, smfh.

    Forrest didn't get kod. He got up, and the pathetic ref deemed him unfit to continue. The rematch decision loss was even more pathetic. Forrest lost to and beat Mora.

    If Presscott does win, I see no reason why he shouldn't get a shot, infact I think he might become his mandatory if he does, Khan got KTFO than proceeded to call the man a bum, why won't he prove it?

    Yes, Forrest was the champion. The ref asked him a question, and Forrest didn't answer, and he stopped the fight.
