    Who should Khan fight next?

    If he wants to improve who should it be - Is there anything he can do to improve? Or will his limit be a decentish domestic fighter.

    Should he bite the bullet and request a rematch??

    What will Sky do with him now. He is not PPV material amd I think he lost a lot of fans yesterday

    Get in touch with Rubio, he may suggest her as Khans next opponent.

    Khan should first consider if he wants to fight on.

    He is already a millioniare several times over - so even at 21 years old - he could retire and be considered a Commonwealth Champion - who was good but had a glass chin.

    If he fights on - it all depends on what is he trying to achieve.

    If his aspirations are still to be a NO 1 World Champion then he needs to continue to fight the likes of Prescott again.

    It will be intresting to see from here how Prescott does in the future - pherhaps he is a real world class fighter and future world champion.

    Khan still is a hot prospect with fast sharp hands.

    But defensively suspect - and a glass jaw.

    He could still win big fights - but be knocked out again at some point.

    Terry Norris had a glass jaw - but he was still a real World Class Champion.

    Khan needs to continue to step up to the plate and fight European / World level fighters.

    What is the point of giving him a easy fight against a bum next time? - it proves nothing - we all know he can blow journeymen away.

    The 0 has gone - so maybe the pressure and protection can go now as well.

    I think Khan should fight for the British / European title.

    Let Prescott go on to fight for a World title.

    If Khan can rebuild and progress to world level - maybe in the future - down the line a rematch with Prescott could happen.

    Some patsy.

    Then eventually, another blown up superfeather, well past his sell by date and with little power. Probably an American.

    has to have a rematch with prescott sometime in his career, if he wins he gets that psychological edge back if he dosen't well its not the end of the road for him. Its all down to him now on how he comes back from this defeat, look at wicky hatton after his loss to mayweather jr he came back but his performance was below par against luzcano

    Romanov. His style suits khan. Very ordinary. No way does he hit as hard as prescott

    Romanov is a better boxer than Prescott.

    he doesn't need to hit as hard as prescott. fighting romanov next would just mean two consecutive losses

    say what you want!! you lot thought khan was gonna "blow prescott away", just shows how much this boxing forum actually looks into fights

    he dont hit half as hard as prescot.. and hes not as stable, reachy, upright, long range jab to keep khan away.. and defensively aint as good as prescott..
