I think Prescott would beat Khan again.

    Being honest, yes. But watching the fight with Khan is enough to convince me. It wasn't luck. Khan got countered and destroyed. Prescott wasn't just winging shots. He hit Khan with some well time, well placed shots. Why he hasn't had success since Khan is beyond me...

    I'm thinking about that Cuello masterclass he put on right now.

    Edit: Ah. Okay, the TS is making it pretty clear he's kidding. Well done.

    And after Khan - when he stepped up a level - he's been 4-2 with 1 TKO. Does that not tell you something? He'll soon be 4-3 after McCloskey has finished with him. Yep, what a threat he is.

    No with Amir moving up in his ideal weight and ariza's conditioning and secret formula in a bottle.

    NOPE.

    You're perfectly right in saying it wasn't lucky. Khan was amateurish and poorly prepared going in, and Prescott took great advantage of it. Nothing lucky about that. It was inevitable. If he didn't knock him out in the first round, he would have knocked him out later, because Khan was that naive and green back then.

    Why he hasn't had success, is not beyond you. You just haven't reviewed his fights yet. And when you do, you'll realise why more and more people are dismissing the need for a rematch with him. I recommend watching the Kevin Mitchell fight. Instead of 54 seconds, you have a full 12 round example of a one-dimensional slugger moping around the ring cluelessly against a boxer-mover that was a British domestic-level super featherweight at the time.

    Seriously though, on that particular night, Prescott didn't just get lucky; he almost committed murder.

    The point is Khan and/or his people must fear that Khan might lose, else they'd make this fight.

    Both Khan supporters and his detractors would pay to see it. So why aren't they? Someone fears...

    Prescott can carry his power and it's still a mental thing Khan has to get over. Can he Khan get over that Koloss who knows.

    At that time, I don't think Prescott was lucky. I honestly think Khan's chin wasn't that good back then due to either weight issues or just being too top heavy back then or both. If he didn't catch him cleanly in that round, he would have later on and still knock him out. NOW though I think Khan would be too much for Prescott and will beat him comfortably.

    I cant see Prescott pulling that off again.Khan has been in with better fighters since and learned a lot from those fights.He would fight a totally different way.
