    ...no?:think

    ...not just in terms of ratings, etc., but also to prove that he deserves a title shot...unless it's against Prescott, of course...and not sure what Prescott's done to deserve a title shot either, unless it was beating Khan, and round and round it goes...

    What do you think?:think

    It will definitely sell on PPV and I'm sure Khan wants a rematch but it's too risky for Frank Warren

    I could see Khan beating prescott in a rematch tbh...More than likely on points...There is always the possibility of a KO though...

    I'd like to see Khan in the ring on an uncercard in the US quite soon against a tough mexican or the like just for some experience and more of a chance to put Roach's teachings to practice in the ring and then look to fight someone like Davd Diaz at some point...

    If he goes anywhere near the very top of thelightweight pile in the near future he will be destroyed...that's not to say that eventually he won't be able to cut it at that level...

    I don't think a rematch with Prescott is necessary tbh...If Prescott ups his level of opponent and is around the top of the rankings in the lightweight division in a few fights time then the rematch is natural but if things go well Khan could be well beyond that level in a couple of fights...

    If Prescott really is good he'll be on that level too...

    I hope he does rematch Prescott at some point, he doesn't necessarily have to do it to earn a title shot.

    I'd like to see him fight Mezzache first, Thaxton Meh it would be another blow out

    After Khan beats Prescott every one will say well Prescott was a nobody with a padded record it proves nothing

    How did he get lucky? He barely missed a punch, he wobbled Khan with a jab and sparked him in 55 seconds.
    I also believe Prescott has far better fundamentals than Khan, but Khan has the obvious edge in natural athleticism.

    "Surely, Khan would have to beat Prescott before getting a title shot?"

    Going by that logic Hopkins entire career is void.

    i agree he does, if not he at least has to fight prescott again after winning the title at some point.
