Make the prescott fight amir!

:good

Exactly, the Prescott bout helped Khan immensely...he got knocked out, but he also got Roach.

 

well I think this is just an option, like mccloskey, in case he cant make the peterson fight, because it would take too long for him to wait for the winner of alexander brad

 

I havn't seen much of McCloskey, but even then I would say he would probably ask a few more questions of Khan than Prescott.

I can see the Prescott bout now, in the build up Prescott will be saying he will knock him out again, etc. Once the first bell goes, Prescott will be expecting to repeat...but Khan won't be there, Prescott will be unloading big bombs and having no success. He will run out of ideas, and Khan will storm to a wide UD.

 

Lufcrazy, you are almost obsessed with Khan as Laz is...... You seem to believe that Khan has made absolutely no improvements since moving up to 140lbs either as a fighter or in terms of his conditioning. Why would Prescott present just as big a danger to Khan as he did before he hooked-up with Roach. Also at 135lbs, Khan was severely weight-drained and his muscle mass distribution was completely wrong. Too 'top-heavy', Roach said it was a miracle he could even make lightweight. Ariza has since completely physically rebuilt him as a fighter. In the Maidana fight he took plenty of flush right hands & stayed on his feet. Also Maidana is a proven world-level title contender whilst Prescott has been exposed as a crude domestic-level banger at best. You say Prescott punches harder, why because he knocked out a whole taxi-rank of colombian taxi drivers and got lucky with Khan?

I say lucky, because pre-Roach, Kahn was a knockout waiting to happen, it almost did happen infact before Prescott on a number of occasions.

Khan pre-Roach & post-Roach are on completely different levels:deal

 

Honestly, Ant, I don’t like it for two reasons:

• It’s useless in terms of development. He needs to be looking ahead to the Bradley-Alexander winner, who will be the most important opponent of his career. If he’s not ready for their style – especially Bradley’s – then he’s going to fail in his bid to unify a red-hot division.
• In addition to being ill-prepared for the more meaningful fights, he’ll get very little credit for beating him. The critics wanted him to face and deal with a big puncher, and now that he’s done that with Maidana, they’ve moved onto a boxer/fighter of a higher skill-level (a Bradley). If he goes back and beats a shitty Prescott, it’ll mean nothing to them. He’ll still be criticised for it.

But **** it. I’m beginning to wish he does take Prescott on. Just so I can wait for the reaction of these people who are calling for this fight.

 

Spot on, man. :thumbsup

 

Have you seen Khan v Kotelnik?

Why is Maidana a big puncher? Ofcourse he's a big puncher, and by looking at his shots alone you should be able to see that.

That's the work of a hard puncher.

The Khan v Prescott bout was at 135lbs. Khan seems to be more stable on his legs now at 140lbs, and since his move to 140lbs, he has shown that.

Maidana has fought at a higher level, hurt and knocked people out at a higher level.

And I still don't understand how people can still believe this theory, "Boxer A knocked out Boxer C, but Boxer C took Boxer B's best punches...which means Boxer A is automatically the harder puncher"...( Khan could take his punches and he couldn't take prescot's.)

It does not work like that at all.

lufc, I wasn't referring to you when I was questioning the stance of the Khan-Prescott II supporters. I know you'll maintain your views if he wins. But unfortunately, most of the others won't.

 

Victor Ortiz.
Williams Gonzalez.
Victor Cayo.

These stoppages are at a high(-ish) level, the stand-out one being Ortiz.

Prescott's KO over a naive Khan is the only stand-out stoppage on Prescott's resume.

 

atsch Why did I forget these?

But it was anticipated, that should Khan not get knocked out by him, Maidana would no longer be considered that big of a puncher by some.

 

Stop it with the Rocky stuff.

If Khan feels its worth the risk, then let him take it. If not, i've no problem Khan not fighting him. Its a backward step fighting Prescott imo.
