    Khan would destroy Prescott. Khan is better now and Breidis is worser

    I was rooting for Maidana but scored it 113 -112 for Khan. Great fight especially rounds 1,10,11 and 12.

    Khan vs the Bradley Alexander winner would be great too.

    I believe I had the same score, but switch around with Maidana ahead. After Khan's next fight, a showdown with the Bradley/Alexander winner is definitely in call for.

    But...but..but...not in 55 seconds, mate. Not when he told the world that he was world class (said he could take Pacquiao), and then got humiliated.

    55 seconds, mate. Different type of loss, mate. It's the context, mate. But but but....all you want, mate.

    Other fighters have lost and not avenged their victors, that is true. But many others have, or have tried.

    Manny lost as a kid - not touted as anything in the statue his now posseses. He lost to Morales when he had a name. He avenged that loss. Twice.
    Hopkins lost to a nobody early in his career. Lost to Taylor. Fought win him again trying to avenge that loss. Lost to RJJ. Begged to get a shot at him for years. Finally got him.
    Martinez lost to Margarito when he was little known. Lost to PW when he was known better. He avenged that loss.

    I could go on. It's the context. Not one of those guys, or for that matter, many boxers get KTFO in 55 seconds.

    Not when they were built up as the next British World Hope in Boxing, ya dig? He was already famous when he got humiliated. That's the difference, and he's choosing not to even entertain the idea of avenging that loss.

    There must be very, very few boxers who would give up the opportunity at redemption and to vanquish humiliation. Most boxers have heart and ego that would jump at the chance to get the satisfaction of revenge.

    But not Khanducky FC, obviously.

    "Different type of loss, mate. It's the context, mate." :rofl

    Yes, mate. I'm sure it is. Both were were the bigger names in their respective fights, both were young, both were up and comers, and both were humiliated by lesser fighters. But other than that, they're two very different situations because of the number of seconds they were knocked out in, and Khan saying he will become world champ one day. :)patsch).

    Khan was blown away in the first, and Pacquiao was blown away just a mere 2 rounds later. That really is a huge difference. :verysad

    Wladimir Klitschko was famous too when he was tossed around the ring like a rag doll by Corrie Sanders in 2 rounds. In fact, Wladimir Klitschko was the WBO heavyweight champion of the world with a 40-1-0 record. He was an established world class fighter. But did he go back and avenge?

    Khan was just a prospect who hadn't even gone beyond domestic level when he was defeated.

    Yes, most boxers (except for Pacquiao, Wladimir, Haye, Hopkins etc)

    I had the same score. People talk like Khan smoked him and it was a dominant performance. Take away the point deduction and you have yourself a draw, on my card and one of the judges...

    **** me, you're trying to compare someone who most English speakers couldn't spell never mind pronounce the name of at that time to someone who won Olympic silver and was a household name touted as some second coming of a boxing god?

    Fark me, you come across as ******ed.

    55 seconds, mate.

    Khanducky 'Fraid Chicken, mate.

    So now it's the pronunciation of a fighter's name which determines whether a rematch should be done or not? :lol:

    I'm pretty sure the Filipinos in the Phillipines knew how to spell and pronounce Pac's name.

    And like I've said in my post above, Wladimir Klitschko was in a far more advanced status than Khan when he was humiliated by Corrie Sanders. But that didn't pressure him to chase a rematch, did it?

    Khan probably has nightmares of Berto knocking him out of the ring, and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down, that's why he won't fight Andre the Haitian Sensation Assassin Berto. Manny ducking too, that's why he's fighting Sugar Shane, nobody wants any part of Berto, except Ortiz, who's looking for a pay day.
