If a Breidis Prescott rematch with Khan is so irrelevant, then why......

    Presscot sucks compared to Maidana

    Calling me a ***ot isn't going to help your case m8.

    And which last ditch attempt at a question is this that you're talking about?

    The facts don't go away because you have a question :patsch

    I know, spud, NHJ, Zackman, are all most likely 13 year olds on school computers, but that's the beauty of it:

    They're arguments just don't stick ;)

    Gooners I can understand, he is known as one of the more practical posters on ESB, but spud? Just a dead beat hater...

    Sorry i meant to say camacho, he got ko'd by him, but even hearns couldnt do that to sugar.

    my point is just because the hardest puncher didnt knock out khan doesnt mean that someone else in the same division cant.

    So we have to ASSUME that he will get knocked out??
    End of day it works on performance and evidence. Khan proved his chin not just in the 10th but also in the 7th 2nd and 4th round. So until he doesnt get knocked out you're just dreaming again.

    Ok Khan fans answer this simple question it is not a mental exercise.

    Who can khan fight apart from Katsidis, mccloskey,prescott and peterson

    Who makes the most money out of the oppoents i have mentioned.

    Who would take the least money out of the opponents i have mentioned.

    Which fight would grasp the britsh public with a dramaticd storyline to sell the fight?

    Which victory would satisfy khan the most?

    All of these questions are in relvance to his april bout. not before not after.
    Please answer.

    McCloskey's opponents aren't outstanding but they're decent, and he's shown himself to be more than comfortable at European level, he's looking to progress to world level anyway.

    Ya it was on ESPN. Being merciful is strange spin on it. I thought he looked really ineffectual and couldn't get any rhythm going.

    If Prescott has looked good against one decent opponent, I wouldn't mind, but I've seen nothing in him to show he'll put up a good fight.

    Its not just that it makes money though is it, Prescott can help cultivate the perception the general public in Britain have of him, cause as much as the Maidana fight might of done for his credibility, that fight, whilst being a great fight, was not as showcased as the Prescott fight was, I mean you could watch a clip of the whole fight anywhere, plus it was news cause Amir got knocked out so brutally, and early.

    The average person on the street will still recall that fight, so there is a chance to exploit that by facing him again, not only can you enhance your reputation, you can make a lot of money, more so than fighting McCloskey anyway.


    Man!, if every criticized fighter took that approach, that they wont satisfy their critics by fighting guys who are perceived to be dangerous opponents for them, cause their critics are too much of a hater that they will not give them credit even if they win, we would never see any competitive fights.

    Bemoaning what critics will say is always an easy option for a fan to make the assertion "why should he fight this guy that guy, he wont get any credit if he win anyway"

    Shame on the people who want to see a potentially competitive fight against a guy that's already knocked him out.

    it's different when two fighters have similar styles but one is bigger, stronger, and better...

    I'm not saying that Bradley can't knock Khan out because Maidana hits harder, but Presscot is less skilled, slower, smaller, and less powerful.

    Ok
    Q2 - Katsidis (reason being he has beat every Brit he has faced much more appealing than Prescott)
    Q3 - McCloskey (would take a world title shot for free never question an Irish heart)
    Q4 - Maybe Prescott
    Q5 - I think you should ask Khan for that answer i'm not a mind reader
