I think Prescott would beat Khan again.

    His style is to buckle Khan's knees with a simple jab, stagger him with a shot that only clips his temple, then put him on his ass with a right-left hook combo. :good

    I don't think Prescott would win again, but he is improving and it would be an interesting fight since Khan wouldn't have the usual advantages he does over smaller opponents. Khan doesn't need this fight and Prescott hasn't earned it yet, but it would be fun to see down the line; good for both fighters, and for the public.

    Maidana smashed Khan around the ring, had him out on his feet, but Khan still didnt go down. Khans chin at 140 has improved

    Its the same with Cotto, at 140 back in the day he used to get shook by the likes of Ricardo Torres. Then he moved up and was taking shots by bigger men but was still standing. Chins do get stronger as a fighter moves up in division

    Another factor to consider is Khans much improved skillset. I highly doubt that Prescott will be able to even land a solid blow on Khan. Khans handspeed and strength is head and shoulders above Prescott's now.

    McCloskey is overrated. Prescott will KO him. He almost bet Vazquez too.

    throw in the fact that khan went straight at him, letting prescott be more effective. khan should of been more patient. he should of let prescott come to him. instead, he tried to wipe him out and payed the price. it would be a lot different if they were to fight again.

    i wouldn't rule prescott out completely, but i think khan would take him. wide UD.

    So, as I thought, you've only watched one of his fights, then?

    I voted NO cause Prescott didn't get lucky. Khan is just massively weight-drained that's all... I don't think he can beat Amir at 140. Do you honestly believe Prescott can hang in their with Maidana? Heck, even Paulie would beat him...

    I don't think many of you realize the psychological damage such a crushing loss can have on a fighter.

    I also pick McCloskey over Prescott, but I bet Khan still has nightmares about Prescott and it will take a few years before he can stomach the thought of a rematch with Prescott.

    Even if Khan is the superior boxer, which he is, Prescott is playing the role of boogeyman in Khan's mind right now. Believe that.

    I think you got a bad batch of mushrooms and you should refrain from posting for a while.

    Wow, is this Poll really 70/30? :patsch

    Really, if anyone has followed Prescott and followed Amir, you'd know, he was 100% lucky.

    Anyone can get caught cold.

    That was his Lotto ticket.
