    No there are a million diferent ****ing strategies, tactics and different things you can do in training, but going back to your original point. If you get knocked out in any ****ing round, 12th after dominating the first 11 or whatever then you're gameplan has not ****ing worked.

    Any gameplan includes the ****ing obvious clause of DON'T GET KNOCKED OUT, without wishing to sound like a lawyer, either stated or implied.

    WTF, if your gameplan is to stay outside and set a fast pace and hit and hold on the inside or whatever and you get knocked out then it didn't ****ing work, if it's a totally different gameplan and you get knocked out, your gameplan didn't ****ing work.

    The masterplan also includes things like 'don't get disqualified' implicitly. You can't lose a fight because you kicked your opponent in the balls and then in the face when he's on the ground and expect your trainer to say 'yip, that's my boy, I told him to be aggressive'.

    It's more like you've spent too much time in the ring and ended up brain damaged, if you think it's OK to get knocked out just because you're trainer doesn't explicitly tell you not to.

    Read the first couple of lines and figured 'I'll just type a post about how I don't debate with teenagers who get over-emotional and start bitching and typing things in capital letters with '****' every 3rd word after 3 posts.'

    So I did.

    Have a nice day:hi:

    The stark reality is...Khan has absolutely nothing to gain by fighting Prescott again, its a highly risky fight based upon his world title aspirations. So don't see it ever happening.

    Notice how the 'when in Rome' statement actually started with me replying to you in the manner you attacked me.... Not to good on spotting irony are we son? Never mind, pat on the head and a silver star for trying.

    The same organisation that moved up a dead man in it's rankings and accepted Bobby Gunn as a world title challenger?

    Erm, so in which of those did I start saying **** or using caps lock. I can't be too good at spotting that either.

    Anyway, if you're wee huff is over, going to reply to the post about not getting KO'd being implicit in any plan, the same as nog gettin dq'd .

    You know the one that you tried acting self-ritcheous after reading but I pointed out that you were just being a hyppocrite.

    In my opinion, Khan's career would take the kind of his it could never really fully recover from...if he got KTFO by Prescott, even if it happened in the 12th round, with Khan 11-0 on the cards. I'm not sure Khan himself could fully get over it either...resilient and "delusional" as he might be...:think

    The Prescott loss is still an unknown quantity until Prescott does more. Prescott might get outboxed and not ko everyone but then he might be the 135 Tua. If that is the case the like Moorer, Khan can still forge a great career despite being starched and being a little chinny.

    One day we'll talk in hindsight about this topic.

    I think the point is that he was actually a genuine 135 opponent and therein lies the problem. Khan cant handle guys his own size therefore as soon as a light punching smaller man gets a title Warren will get him a title shot (or he will fight for a vacant belt against someone hand picked by Warren)

    He doesn't need to KO everyone. If he KOs Khan, whatever happens to his career subsequently, even if it fails miserably, that will be a very hard blow for Khan's career...very hard...

    This is why I feel it doesn't much matter how good Prescott really is...because the question here is: can Khan do what it takes to avoid a puncher for as long as it takes to win the fight?

    Wouldn't change my perspective of Prescott, I still think he's a woeful fighter.

    It would merely confirm that Khan hasn't progressed at all, and is unlikely to progress to world champion level.
