    You've got an excuse 4 everything. He already beat a better fighter with a bigger punch at a higher weight but "it wasn't showcased enough".
    You yourself know beating Prescott wouldn't stop the negative Khan comments.
    As I said I wouldn't mind seeing Khan - Prescott 2 & thats the fight I would make if i was Khan (tho I wouldnt offer him much money & I would say Prescott should rematch Murray) but its justifyable If Khan chooses not to

    I disagree with, "this bout makes so much money".

    Khan's first bout on PPV was his knockout loss to Prescott, I'd assume many would be put off by this. Prescott's next bout on Sky Box office was him being completely outclassed by Mitchell.

    This bout is irrelevant because it isn't about money, it's about Khan's progression and another camp under Roach...without taking a backward step (which is what the Prescott bout is).

    Your interpretation of an excuse= a plausible answer.


    I dont mean it like that, I dont know, but let me ask you, do you think that fight was as showcased as what the Prescott fight was? I question whether as many of the general public would of saw, heard about that fight, than what would have saw, heard about the Prescott fight, do you dispute that?

    Mabye it wouldn't, but what kind of pretentious attitude is it for a fighter to have, NOT to fight someone based on that? would be ridiculous, its okay saying if I beat them they will say this and that, you have to beat them first.

    I just dont think its plausible to claim a guy who knocked you out has played himself outta the picture, when your fighting a guy that brings less to the table, doesn't have a win over you, doesn't really have any extra credentials, it says there is more to it imo, what that is, I dont know, I wont theorize, but there are inconsistencies, and if you fail to see that, well, I dont know what to say.

    Why would they be put off? they saw inept performance after inept performance by Harrison, yet they still!! brought into the hype when the Sky hype machine went into full effect, and Harrison hadn't already beaten Haye.

    The kinda hype surrounding a Prescott-Khan rematch, would be easy! to sell.

    So would the hype surrounding a British fighter fighting in a unification bout.

    If we followed your logic, then Khan should fight Prescott in July instead of the Bradley/Alexander winner. :blood

    You can't say "Khan/Prescott" is where its at because Khan's priority isn't about increasing his British fan base, its about making a name for himself in the US. He's already well established in the UK, another Khan/Prescott fight won't change that.

    This would very well be a step backwards.

    Khan needs to beat Breidis Prescott two more times, because if he beat him in a rematch, it would still mean that their series is tied at one a piece. Khan should fight him thrice in total.

    I will probably watch Khan's next fight no matter who's the opponent. But I'd definitely watch Prescott 2 and it's not because I think that Khan has any troubles to beat him. It's because of the drama that's already there. UFC does this all the time and people love and buy those fights.
    Maybe it's not very appealing for hc boxing/Khan fans but casual fans like to have some extra content besides from actual fight. Bad blood, climbing on divisions and revenge creates big fights which also makes new fans and I can imagine how good feeling Khan would have after destroying the only guy that beat him.

    Edit:

    Imagine retired Amir in 2021 with that one loss. Does he regret that he choose to fight McCloskey instead of beating Prescott in a rematch?

    The guy who makes the assertion that McCoskey -Khan would do as much, more money as Khan-Prescott 2, shouldn't be taking the rise out of anyone.

    Reasons why Khan will not face Prescott:

    1. All going well, Khan will have two more fights at LWW before making the move up to WW.

    2. One of these will be a warm-up fight, followed by the winner of B/A.

    3. In order for him to improve and be ready for boxers rather than punchers (which is what B/A are), he has to fight a similar styled opponent. You can see that as the potential opponents being talked up are not notorious punchers (maybe you could argue Ortiz is).

    4. McCloskey is a European champion and unbeaten, Prescott is NOTHING and is looking for a pay day.

    5. Khan has clearly moved on, and has no time for nobodies like Prescott - he has bigger fish to fry.

    Maybe this fight would've been feasible a few fights ago when he was rebuilding his career, but it certainly isn't at this moment in time.

    Perhaps (IF) he unifies, he could make one last fight against Prescott before moving up to WW - but does Prescott even deserve that chance of fighting for the titles that Khan would (theoretically) possess? Maybe if Prescott beats a few good fighters and increases his ranking then maybe, otherwise talk of a rematch is stupid.
     
  13. if someone knocked me out id love to fight him again. khan must be scared. i think he can beat him easily. he may be able to knock him out early. he should do it to avenge the loss, wipe the slate the clean.
