    Right then pal.

    No arguments here mate..... Do you think Warren is using Mitchell as a way around Khan having to fight Prescott again ?

    No way does mitchell or khan fight prescott untill he shows more holes in his game.

    It to much of a gamle......Khan management,backers know what they are doing and cannot afford to lose again as there concept of boxing is to push a fighter via wrapped in cotton wool rather than geniune risks.

    Yes. I said this last week.

    He's hoping Mitchell beats Prescott so Khan fights Mitchell.

    Fools the casuals.

    Yep Grant thats the way I see it.

    Mitchell is an easier fight for Khan than Prescott is.

    Mitchell has a decent chin and decent boxing abilities. He can outbox Prescott and if he gets caught he could handle it pretty well. Then Khan (IN MY OPINION JIGSAWIGSAW) would box rings around him to a UD.

    If Khan has to fight Prescott, whilst he's a hell of a lot better than he was, and with Roach wouldn't be allowed to use similiar tactics those demons would still be there in the back of his mind

    There must be something in the water......i just cant trust myself to dive in........surely mitchell backers who happen to back Khan do not want to take such a risky fight?

    Fair play........but i still dont think it will happen.

    Prescott has been poor in his fights post-Khan, Mitchell/Khan can outbox him, if they don't get knocked out.

    We all know that.........in fact in two fights he hasnt knocked anyone but this is boxing........the wool over the majority happens alot.

    Are the backers of Mitchel and Khan taking a calcualted risk ? surely not.

    With what Khan has been coming out with for the last few weeks this will be Khan's last fight in the U.K as he really wants to fight in the U.S and maybe even move there. Also if Khan beats Salita he will be forced to fight Maidana next by the WBA. In all fairness Khan needs to be fighting the best of 140 next year as he is one of the main men in the 140 division by holding one of the world titles.

    There are also signs Khan and Warren might be coming to an end with Khan starting his own company called 'Khan Promotions'. Khan has been hanging out with David Haye maybe he has been giving Khan a few tips.

    Prescott is a lightweight when he fights above lightweight he looks poor. Well he looks distinctly average other then the Khan fight where he looks like the second coming of Hearns for 54 seconds.

    Any fighter that boxes Prescott and doesn't trade and uses lateral movement and there skills beats him. Prescott is a four round fighter imo and once his sting has been taken away he looks poor and his boxing brain isn't great for bigman. Mitchell cannot box the way he boxed against Johansson and Estrada because otherwise i don't care how good your chin is you can only take so much damage.

    If Khan is to beat Salita he has a voluntary defence..imo if Prescott wins well against Mitchell then it's a good fight for Khan to take...if Prescott looks terrible and wins then he should just move on because it be a high risk fight for next to no reward.

    Prescott beats Khan every time they fight because Khan will not be able to take Prescotts punches and its that simple, Prescott is a very limited fighter and could get outboxed for a few round but hes going to land once in the fight and thats all it will take to knock Khan out with Prescotts power.
