    I dont agree.

    Prescott is a great re build fight IF Khan looses to anyone again. They always have that in the bank as a money maker and a fight that will boost him back into the spotlight. IMO Khan would destroy him so its not worth taking the fight on until it makes sense for Khans career.

    The demons were put to bed along with Maidana. The Prescott loss doesn't bother him anymore.

    The McCloskey fight doesn't need to have value in the US. It's taking place in the UK, and HBO are acknowledging it for what it is.

    Ortiz is a fight that will make good money in the US. They're saving that for later. Why waste it in the UK?

    Prescott won't price himself out......
     
  4. Khan can make good money vs prescott and obviously he gets a big share of the pie.
    Prescott fight will sell well in England and its good for him to avenge his loss.
    Even khan fans must agree that this fight is decent to see at this point, who else is he going to fight now? prescott is good as a stay busy fight I would not blame khan at all.

    Dan Rafael said Peterson was offered 200,000. That would have been a career high payday, do not know why Peterson did not accept that.

    If it doesn't bother him anymore then why is he posting all sorts of messages on his Twitter page to justify not fighting him? Ortiz is a good fight, but people in the US will buy it regardless of the time or place.

    Would be great but they want to milk Khan a bit before throwing him in the deep end

    :lol: Ofcourse getting sparked in 30seconds bothers him and if it doesn't it ****ing should do, no Maidana isn't Prescott every fighter is different

    I'm sure all the Khan army well bring up 'Why doesn't Pacquaio avenge....' umm because that was 12 years and 7weight classes ago you thick ****s

    Bottom line Khan toys don't want their boy unnessarily risking it against a puncher, especially one who's already sparked him

    prescott would be a great fight for khan
    he can get redemption on an embaressing ktfo and he can pay him peanuts
    however i have a feeling khan is scared of him after the beating prescott delievered on him last fight

    :lol: Who threw sand in your vagina?

    Of course Maidana isn't Prescott. He's better than him! Khan's gone on to beat the hardest puncher of the division, and is now in contention to become the number one guy of a red-hot weight-class. Why would he still be bothered about a guy who's lived off his name for the past 2 years? A guy who lost twice in his following three fights?

    And in regards to Pac and his losses, we're not exactly asking Pac to back and avenge them now :patsch. We're simply asking, back then did Pacquiao go back and defeat them guys? When Wladimir was sparked out by Sanders, did he go back and defeat him? When Haye was stopped by Thompson, did he go back to settle business?

    The answer of course is no. Bottom line is, Khan is doing bigger and better things, just like Haye, Wladimir and Pacquiao went on to do bigger and better things. Khan, now, has a Timothy Bradley or a Devon Alexander in his sights. Wins over them are far more valuable than a win over a Prescott.
