    Will the winner of Prescott v McCloskey go on to face Khan? Or do you think Khan will have moved up a weight class by then?

    Not a chance. Khan will fight in December and then move up to 147.

    I don't see either fight happening but I'd prefer to see him fight Prescott rather than McCloskey (who offered little offense). For all the talk about Prescott's punching power, he's only stopped 1 guy since Khan. I'm not sure if his power will have carried to 140. That being said, it would be good for can to draw a line under the whole thing with Prescott and shut up a lot of his detractors.

    If Prescott wins maybe, it's an easy fight for Khan, and a chance for him to avenge his only defeat before moving up to 147.

    If McCloskey wins (which I think he will), then not a chance in hell. NO ONE wants to see him rematch Khan, unless you're clinically insane.

    the only way I can see khan fight prescott is if he gets stopped in december by matthysse.

    Looks like the Prescott/McCloskey winner will go onto face Maidana which would be interesting. The good thing about the McCloskey/Prescott bout is that I do not know who will win or what will happen in that fight - Certainly one to look forward to.

    McCloskey is going to outbox him for 12 rounds. :D

    And neither will get to face Khan. Khan will move up to 147 after his next fight.
