I think it will happen after Bradley. Rite before a move to 147. Prescott can bang! Its good for ppv and a fight Khan would win 2nd time round.
To be honest what it really shows you is how bad Prescotts form has been since he beat Khan. Unless he gets in as a last minute sub or a marking time fight he's blown it.
Why should he have to earn it? He layed his ass out. Should be vice versa. Khan need prescott more that he needs china chin.
He DID earn it, unfortunealy he cashed it in when he lost to Mitchell. Thats how boxing works, a couple of losses and you are right down the pecking order even if you did manage to KO the champ a few years ago....this isn't a Rocky film. And as for Khan needing Prescott more than Prescott needs Kahn? Doesn't look that way from here.....
Look who Margo lost to since the Cotto fight and look who Prescott has lost to....theres your answer. Margarito would be a viable contender for Cottos title even if they hadn't of fought before, no way would Prescott get within a million miles of a title shot with Khan.
you have severe learing difficulties cotto lost to margerito when cotto was 28 years of age and fought at the world stage for years in his 30 something fight, khan lost presscott in his 18th pro fight at the age of 21 (and was considered only a prospect at this point) and he was defending his crappy commonwealth belt, how the **** are the 2 even remotely comparable.
Skeletons in the closet. He will always be brought up, discussed, remembered until he takes that fight again. Khan knows deep down he can not be fully confident in himself until he revisits his worse fear. Same reason he sh!ts himself in last few rounds every fight maidana, kotelnick. etc.
He'll probably claim he's a qualified psychologist as well as a member of the SAS and record breaking distance runner.
Presscott has to keep himself relevant, i.e. credible. Isn't he fighting again soon? As long as he has a top 10 ranking for any of the belts then Khan should make this fight happen as a voluntary before moving up to 147lbs.
