What would your reaction be? To what extent/in which way would it alter your current view of Khan and Prescott?:think
Well...it doesn't matter that much in this case, if it ends in a "brutal" KO...does it...(because that means Khan couldn't get to Prescott and couldn't stop him from implementing his plan with unmitigated success.)
It wouldn't alter my view of either of them. Prescott, for the most part, has fought pretty poor competition but has KO'd 90% of them. Khan has been rocked by a lot of his opponents. If they ought again, I would expect it to be bedtime or little Amir as soon as Prescott landed. If it happenned in less than a minute again my reaction probably would be laughter. I wasn't convinced by Khan's apparent new found defensive awareness. He didn't seem to have any thoughts about how to counter when he was defending and an old, half blind Barrera who had just moved up in weight still wobbled him a couple of times. A younger, busier, bigger hitting fighter would either knock him out or force him into his shell and win the rounds.
Prescott would bang khan out again, in 1 round.. khan ain't changed that much and still has a glass jaw Prescott's a class above i dunno how the **** khans getting a title shot before Prescott, how has he got back the intercontinental WBO belt, i thought Prescott had it?
Look at Joe Frazier vs George Foreman. Joe got blasted out in two rounds in their first fight, did better in the second, but George eventually caught up to him and stopped him in the 5th. I believe that no matter what Khan does Prescott will eventually catch up to him and knock him out. It would obviously be bad for his reputation, but he would gain respect from me going in the ring again with Prescott.
I disagree. With this statement you're basically saying that if Khan dominated Prescott for 12 rounds then with 30 seconds left of the 12th Prescott scores his 'Brutal' KO that Khan didn't implement his plan, when for 11 3/4 rounds he did. Not that I think this would happen of course. But people would give him a little credit rather than the childish **** they throw at him right now. Khan should avoid this guy for 2-3 years imo, see what direction both of their careers take. Right now the risk/reward balance only makes sense in Khans mind.
