At some point Khan has to step in with Prescott again, otherwise it will haunt his whole career and legacy, if indeed he leaves one

Yeah, just like Rustico Torrecampo haunts Manny Pacquiao's legacy to this day:lol:

Prescott is a bum who got lucky. His career will fizzle out.

Shock defeats happen sometimes. You should learn your boxing history, some great fighters got KO'd in a round early in their careers & recovered to make their mark on the sport.

Very true Dunky.. However with Sports Netwoek fighters who are so cautiously matched its forseeable Khan could win the Vacant title against Barrera and never enter anything less then an 80-20 match again. He retires at 28 with a 40-1 record and that 'one' becomes extremely signifcant.

Too high profile a loss, your reckoning falls to pieces I'm afraid.

He has to face Prescott. It doesn't matter anyways, any half-decent puncher will stand him on his head, he will realise that outboxing Prescott will not redeem himself.

Honestly, I think Guzman would stun and stop Khan. Paulie Malignaggi would stop Khan.

Out of interest, which ATG or HOFs do you know that were KOed badly in the first by someone they were expected to easily beat after 3 years in their pro career and never avenged the loss?

If we're a little less restrictive guys like Henry Armstrong, Eusebio Pedroza, Alexis Arguello and Frankie Randall all rebounded from early career KO's to lesser opposition to have very distinguished careers. I'm sure I could think of more.

Pedroza is a good example.:good It was a Columbian that got the KO too, he did have a very good career after those early losses. I wouldn't put Arguello or Armstrong in the same boat though (add Hopkins to that list), losing your pro debut is a different matter (especially when Arguello was 16 and Armstrong was 19). The thing with Khan is that it was a devastating loss when he was already starting to establish himself, in the next few fights he would probably have began making the transition between commonwealth/Euro to world level - the loss came at the wrong time, or at least it seemed like it did (****** appears more happy to take a risk now possibly?).

Cards on the table, and I really wish I had had the courage to show them earlier.

This is just pure fucking hate, and to be honest i've had enough of this shite. Judge Khan the same way as you would any other up and coming fighter at the weight, forget what he says and just judge the lad by his performances. There are not many prospects who after their 4th fight have taken on opponents all with half decent winning records, the lack of any recognition is pathetic. To be honest the level of hate shown on here and elsewhere goes beyond dislike for the kid because of his mouth, its really distasteful and pretty obvious. He is still getting shit for having the temerity to take on a fighter like Barerra in his 21st fight, get a grip.

Jeff, careful matchmaking my cock, you should know better, who the fuck were you fighting in your 13th contest, i'd say but I don't want to embarrass you...Khan took on Limond with a 28-1 record in his 13th pro fight, an all time great like Duran was scuffing around fighting a 12-19 in his...give the bloke some fucking breathing space.

Well said mate.....Completely pathetic the shit Khan gets :-(

For a prospect he has been moved on quickly in comparison to the other prospects out there......and he's facing an ATG Mexican Warrior after being brutally KTFO 2 fights ago.

I give him massive credit........and the rest of the sorry ass haters should aswell

Icemax I wasn't an Olympian, just some bloke who did a little boxing. Khans opponents have been largely credible save for the odd no mark. However, he is been projected as the uks answer to floyd mayweather in one breath but avoiding anything that looks like a 50-50 match up. Fighting barrera is exciting but it could turn out to be no more then a clever piece of matchmaking. Khan is lucky enough to have two men in his weight division in the uk who can provide him with the credability he desires- the sooner his handlers realize this the sooner we can all start enjoying his career!

brown bomber

02-15-2009, 07:18 PM

I'm not a hater just realistic... Relevant matchmaking is vital for any prospect! Sn are number obsessed that's why the Olympians are fighting 3 non descript opponents in their pro debuts instead of opponents we can actually gauge their potential with!

There are an awful lot of posters on here who were ripping the total shit out of Khan, a short while ago, for him daring to speak about being a "world champion*" in interview.

You really shouldnt take what I say bout Hatton too seriously on here anymore, I been a hater too long, Im bitter & twisted when it comes to Hatton.
It aint right, but its the way it is:D

& if Hatton spanks Pac? You can rub my big scottish face well & truly in it. Unluckily for me, Hatton has a second shot at glory, a second chance to beat the best & shut the Hatton haters up once & for all, & if Im being truthful, its a scary fuckin thought!

I cant believe the egotistical wee nyaff has got another shot after Mayweather schooled his ass, but I have always said hatton is one lucky cunt.

Look at his younger brother for proof, Hatton the older bro walks about with a big head of hair, his younger brother is bald!
Now if that doesnt tell you that Ricky is naturally lucky, nothing will.

Sorry mate, but you are way off. A win over Murray or Thaxton is nowhere near as great as a take over Barerra, whatever state he is in.

That's shite... Murray and Thaxton will come to win, do you really know what barrera brings at this stage of his career, because I've been watching him since he was a super bantam and I have no idea.

Murray may come to win, but he won't. He is the most overrated fighter on these boards, I may be bitter and twisted about the bloke having spent more than a few quid watching his inconsistant arse over the years hoping to see him develop, but Khan is too skilled for his poor mans Hatton impression. The best you can say is that he has a punchers chance, but that could be said about anyone in the top 100 where Khans supposed weak chin is concerned.

hate? HATE? Now WHY would I hate Prescott? Im a fan of scottish boxing & scottish fighters only nowadays, I still take an interest in world boxing but I dont really care who wins or loses anymore if they aint scottish. I couldnt emotionally give a shit about Khan or Prescott. I just gave an honest opinion.

& my honest opinion is that Prescott is a bum who got lucky! There is no bias on my part, none at all. I have listened to all the pro & anti-Khan posts here, took it all in, doubted myself about Khans ability, fooled myself about Prescott.
I reached my conclusion though, & thats that that Prescott is a bum who got lucky!

Look at the fight again, turn the commentary down & watch it. Closely. Khan got cught cold. Look at Prescotts punches the whole time, they werent brutal, he was just swinging & hoping, & got lucky. There wasnt even any real bodyweight behind his finishing shots. Just swings.

Sure he beatt Khan on the day, but hes no big punching monster. Trust me, he aint the real deal. Khan would slaughter him in a rematch.

& thats my neutral opinion. Honestly, watch the fight with the commentary turned down, Prescott wasnt a big punching monster, he was a windmill kid who hit the jackpot. Sometimes shit happens, & it happened for Khan. he walked onto a shot early, got caught cold & didnt recover. Thats boxing sometimes. Look at Marquez v pac 1 for proof of how you can be caught cold in the 1st round. & look how different the fight was from the second onwards, once Marquez had 'warmed' to the punches.

Lightning doesnt strike twice though that often, especially with Freddie Roach training you. So I dont expect Khan to be on the receiving end of a quick beating like that again for many years, if ever.

How the fuck, & I mean how the FUCK is it pathetic for me, a scotsman from Scotland to support scottish boxers???

Man, I watch boxing. love boxing. probably have watched more world boxing than you have had hot dinners.
But nothing gets me going like a scottish boxer fighting, win lose or draw. Cos they are from my neck of the woods, I can relate with them. Im proud of my country, & proud when I see our fighters doing well.

I love boxing, & love watching fights. However, I enjoy boxing the most when I watch fighters from my country doing well, man, Im struggling to even answer this post cos its so absurd.

next you will be calling Chavez's mexican fans pathetic for filling out stadiums to watch him fight as they loved their fellow mexican hero, philipino Pac fans for loving Pac so much, & dare I say it, Ricky hattons massive english following for paying fortunes to cheer their boy on when he fights home or away...

Im struggling to answer this post cos its so fucked up to be honest, what next, people being pathetic for supporting their national football team at the next world cup???

Seriously... Im literally shaking my head from side to side in dismay as Im finishing this line.

To put it bluntly, I love boxing in general, but Im a fan of scottish boxing, just like people love watching football in general but will be a fan of Manchester Utd for instance!

man, in one post I am told Im biased against anything scottish, & the next post I am biased towards Khan!
You couldnt make it up in here sometimes:lol:

personally I thought Marquez v Pac WAS a good example of a fighter being caught cold & struggling. It just so hppened JMM survived by the skin of his teeth. fine lines & all that.
However, as you are nitpicking heres another example. Julio Diaz.

Check it out, & tell me anyone who predicted that one. sometimes the formbook goes right out of the window in boxing. Im of the belief that for all Khans faults, 9 out of ten times he beats Prescott.

I would back willie Limond to beat Prescott too if they fought, although the size difference would have been problem for Willie, but once he had weathered the early storm, Im sure he would pick Prescott off & record a victory. Why? Cos Prescott simply isnt very good! Do you think if he was that great he would have been a Khan opponent for his first PPV?

Think about it:deal

I dunno Dunky, I'm not saying he is a world beater but he looked pretty fast and accurate to me that night.

gaz my good man, I aint seen the fight in ages, so Im going on memory here. I remember watching the many replays though, & being totally underwhelmed by the punches that floored Khan, & finished him off.

IMO Khan just ran out trying to please his fans, got caught early & never recovered. & the punches that finished him off werent spectacular, Im 100% sure the Prescott character just hit the lottery that night, it was a one-off.
if they fought another nine times, I would pick Khan every time. If you can find the fight, take a look at the finishing punches again, & tell me they were lethal.

Just my opinion though, if anyone thinks the Prescott man was awesome & put Khan to the sword like a viper taking out a rabbit or whatever a viper kills, then so be it. Im just asking people to take a closer look at the finishing punches.
