    its always good to avenge losses, but as long as he keeps winning and manages to win a belt at 147, he should be good

    No, in 20 years time it will enhance his legacy when we look back on it.

    Lol. No. Prescott is a ****ing bum who scored a fluke knock out on an obviously weight-drained Khan. Khan will lose nothing if he doesn't rematch him, simply because Prescott has not done a single thing to warrant a rematch. And Khan has supposed that lose more than most would have predicted!

    It still would be nice to see him avenge his loss.

    No. Although Khan avenging his loss like Louis did to Schmeling would be a glorious thing to see.

    This is just as wrong as those that say it ruined him.

    That was not a fluke KO and the weight-drained excuse is about the most pathetic one I've ever heard, especially for a 21-year old. That was the real deal. And Prescott is no bum. He hasn't shown yet that he's world class, but his only losses are a split decision to another world champion, and a decision loss to another highly ranked contender. And of course, he does have a devastating KO win over another world champion. that's not the resume of a bum.

    Right now, if things stay as they are then no, Khan's legacy won't be hurt by it. But if Prescott gets a couple of quality wins and just won't fade away like they're hoping, then yes, he'll have to rematch him or it will hurt his stock.

    It all depends on Prescott. If he becomes a serious player than Khan has to fight him again and beat him. However if Prescott fades in to obscurity or just is not a major player than despite the fact that a first round Knockout loss is hard to live down. I think Khan's career will be mostly uneffected by it.

    Why should he fight him again? It was just a lucky punch and Khan has improved massively from that fight.Prescott doesn't deserve a shot he's not even in the same class.

    He wasn't weight drained? How stupid are you? It was a fluke! Khan had NO knowledge of his opponent, it was a last second pick and they sent him in there and he got knocked out. Why couldn't Maidana even put him down after that 10th round? Just look at Khans upper body back then, he was built up all wrong and if you think you know better than Khan himself, Freddie Roach and many boxing experts, than you go ahead and think that. You absolute ****ing idiot. Just look how big he is, if you don't think that weight was an issue than you're a straight up hater, and a ****ing ******ed one at that.

    Also, I love these little Prescott fans, just trying to cling on to some positives, even in his losses, the guy is a ****ing nobody and will never even be consider anything other than a one hit wonder.

    But seriously, "the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard". Do you know how many people believe the weight issue to be the case for that loss? I think you've just come out from under a rock with NO research on what you're talking about and talking complete ****.

    :patsch
