    Prescott is a world class fighter but he's not the best or unbeatable.

    I can'tt see khan ever beating him tbh.

    He may last longer in a rematch but he'd still get KTFO.

    I was actually impressed with some of Prescotts move's the other night.

    He's not just a banger.

    He has flaws but he showed some pretty slick moves last night imo.

    If any other LW leaves their chin exposed like Khan did, then they'll get knocked out. Prescott caught Khan flush and I mean flush. I have no doubts if he hits anybody else that flush they'll go down.

    Khan has worries over his chin, but mainly over the lack of defence he provides for that chin.

    Def not a club fighter, i think Khan can beat him if he stays on the outside, and doesn't come in like blind mule.

    I think his defense is poor and his chin is even worse. Gomez ****ed him up with a cuffing blow out of a clinch and Prescott had him wobbled with a jab. Both were punches that a boxer should be able to take if need be.

    His chin is more of a worry than his defence, by far.

    Defence can be improved.

    But it can never be improved to the extent you will not be hit by world class fighters. Not unless you have talent like Whitaker. And he hasn't even fought a world class fighter yet.

    His power is average at best but its good enough to expose frauds like khan

    His defence comes before his chin though.

    The punches are landing, because of his poor defence, which then exposes his chin.

    We've seen he can be put down by lightish punches, but if he continues to let people unload on his chin, then he'll be KO'd. There are only a handful of fighters who can let people land haymakers on their chin.

    Everything about Khan is just wrong when it comes to taking a punch. His defence is open, his body is tense, his legs are skinny, he has no head movement and he tries to fight fire with fire after being hit. None of these things are really to do with chin, they all stem from training/technical flaws.

    Prescott hit Toledo flush many time's last night to the heads and body.

    Also back to Khan, look at his fight with Limond.

    Limond was so unlucky that he did'nt KO Khan.

    Khan is'nt a big puncher either. He has to land loads of shots and break people down, and even then people have complained about premature stoppages.

    If he was like Haye then it would be a different story.

    People question Hayes punch resitance but Haye's got The Haymakers and can finish a fight at anytime. Where as Khan can't.

    With Khan's chin you'd expect him to hit like Tommy Hearns. :lol:

    It doesn't though, not really.

    It's about levels. His defence is coming from such a poor state, it is impossible to get it to the level which is going to protect such a chin. Impossible. He would already need excepional defensive talent, reflexes and head movement.

    Even if it was outstanding it is the height of optimism to expect you are not going to be touched by world class fighters. We see it every fight, even the best get hit.

    The problem is the levels. His defence is like 2/10, particularly inside. His chin is a ZERO.

    If his chin was reasonable, not great but reasonable, he could hope for his other talents to get him out of jail. His chin will always be the single biggest problem.

    I suppose it depends on how you look at it. No matter how good his defence becomes he's not going to get through a pro career without taking a hard jab or a hook in a clinch, both of which have had him in trouble but on the other hand he can't improve his chin but he can at least improve his defence.

    I just don't think any improvements he can make in his defence can make up for a chin that bad.....

    As a bit of an aside here is Humberto Soto beating lumps out of Prescott's opponent Mr. Toledo (I don't care much for the music though):

    Not an exact science is it, a vs b, b vs c, c vs a doesn't work well in boxing, more suited to horse racing.

    Decebal what huge power shots are you talking about ? You mean that initial jab that had him doing the chicken dance ?
