    Going up in weight never helped Tommy Hearns chin. Everytime he was hit at middleweight he seemed to be hurt, and of course Tommy's chin is still several leagues above Khan's.

    Bigger men punch harder, it really does offset putting muscle on your neck.

    I haven't seen any of the early stoppages Khan has received, they have been warranted in my opinion.

    exactly, if he was to put more body weight int those punches he would be devastating

    Yup definatly depends on the manner of the loss. Another Prescott'esque loss, then he is not cut out for the top, stay at domestic level, another one. If however he wins, Juan Manual Marquez?!?!??!

    2 loses within 12 months is a bad look for a supposed top prospect!
    This fight should redeem Khan into the big league. We shall fidn out mannana.

    Hmm... have to respectfully disagree. I have to question whether Prescott is actually that big of a puncher in world terms to start with. I know he has an impressive looking KO record, but hasn't fought anyone of note besides Khan. In his fight after Khan, he won a ten round DQ over a guy Lamont Peterson had previous blown out inside a round and Humberto Soto inside 3. I think two stoppage defeats inside 21 fights is going to be very difficult to come back from, especially when neither of them were to guys who were part of the division's top echelon.

    At best, he might be able to pick up a paper belt (WBU/WBO if he gets lucky and gets an Alex Arthur style title shot. But if he gets stopped by Barrera, bearing in mind the Prescott loss and vulnerable moments against Gomez and Limond, I would have to say there's no chance he can hang with the division's elite. Guys like Marquez, Casamayor, Katsidis, any of the Diaz pack I have to believe would demolish him. If that happens, I have to say a career at a lower level, with maybe a minor league belt if lucky will be all he would aspire to. Maybe he can improve his skills, but I can't think of a fighter who has been done much good by two early knockout losses.

    Anyway, let''s wait and see how he does against Barrera then discuss it :good

    If Khan loses I think he should carry on but in a very different direction and manner.

    I think he should re-locate to the US and fight on a few undercards over there away from the media hype of this country. After 10 fights or so against decent opposition come back and fight for the British or Commonwealth title and then take it from there...

    Good call Lee, if he loses he must get out of the public eye.
