Khan says he’ll fight Prescott again – but it won’t happen anytime soon
June 17th, 2011
By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan was totally blown out by Breidis Prescott three years ago in a 1st round knockout in 2008. Khan says he’s a much better fighter since then and would beat Prescott in a rematch, but that’s hard for boxing fans to buy when Khan won’t even attempt to avenge the defeat. Prescott has gotten better and is looking much more dangerous than he was when he staggered Khan with a jab and then flattened him with a hook to the head.
Khan’s promoters won’t want to put him back in with Prescott if Khan gets flattened by Judah, Bradley and/or Mayweather. A loss against any one of these fighters would remove all possibilities of Khan facing Prescott. There is a small chance that if Khan beats all three of those fighters that he could turn his attention to Prescott, but do you really think that would happen? If Khan runs the table and beats Judah, Bradley and Mayweather there is no chance of Khan turning backwards and facing Prescott.
Khan would probably go after Victor Ortiz or someone like Miguel Cotto. There really isn’t anyone in the welterweight division besides Mayweather, Ortiz and Manny Pacquiao. Khan won’t fight Pacquiao, and that leaves guys like Cotto or maybe soon to be 40-year-old Shane Mosley. I’d like to think that Khan wouldn’t waste his time fighting Mosley, especially after how bad Mosley looked in losing to Pacquiao recently. But I can see it happening. Prescott will be an afterthought no matter who beats. Prescott can win a title at welterweight and I don’t see Khan facing him.

kurta “if khan didnt land tht body shot in 1st he would hav lost tht fight”
BUT HE DID LAND IT! you could take every boxing match in history and say if something didnt happen then the outcome might be different.
If prescott is basing the fact that khan should revenge his defeat and he is a coward why doesnt prescott wnt fights against vasquez and mitchell who both humiliated him by easily beating him around the ring for 12 long rounds!! I will tell u why becoz there is no money in those fights and prescott is jst after a pay day! he is a hipocryte
Khans a muppet. People bring up maidana fyt maidana threw arm punches all fight and nearly finishef khan. If khan didnt land tht body shot in 1st he would hav lost tht fight. And now u get people sayin why should he fight prescott emm maybe coz he smashed u in one rnd gave u legs like a baby giraffe with a JAB lol get real prescott stole khans soul. U can count tht khan wil hide from prescott and maidana. He wants fyts were he doesnt hav to worry abt bein ko’d but it will happen again fingers crossed he beats judah and gets floyd and we wil hear the last of this once and for all
BELEIVE IT AND BET ON KAHN AND EVERY ONE YOU KNOW WILL BE OLD AND DYING WHEN KHAN SAYS IM READY. AT THAT TIME YOUR MONEY WILL WORTH AS MUCH AS KHAN *** NOTHING
Khan fighting Prescott again? It will never happen! Prescott is Khans worst nightmare!
Give it up u sad sad people… U were the 1s saying he would get killed by maidana and he wouldn’t fight him… Now that’s done and dusted u lot r suckin on prescotts balls again
im not even gunna read the article question william do you think prescott would ko maidana?? thought so as a british id love khan to have some sense knocked into him but prescott?? cmon kid you need to behave yourself khan would school him he got lucky simple leave it at that
Khan has nightmares about Prescott and will never step in the ring with him again, I’d put money on that.
Prescott has Khans heart in his pocket!
Prescott would ko Khan again no way do they ever fight again!
You mention khan moving up in weight to fight miguel cotto and say hes affraid on prescott dont make me laugh prescoot is a major step back from mcloskey you idiot he hasnt improved hes gotten werse who has he fought and beaten ? nobody he’s a straight up bum !!!
hows prescott got better he’s been beaten since then and doesn’t hold a world championship belt
