I don't agree. As long as Amir Khan keeps winning, and his level of competition is decent I don't think many would pay to much attention to a single loss.keithmoonhangover wrote:Well, for me, Khan MUST beat Prescott before the memory of that defeat is erased. The reason he hasn't fought Prescott is a matter for debate. My guess would be that some of Khan's handlers don't want to take the risk.J-C wrote:I like to see fighters avenge their losses as much as anyone else but in certain scenarios it's inappropriate. Prescott had his chances off the back of that win and he's blown them. No fooking way should it get him a shot at an undisputed title.

I think the time has passed to fight Prescott again, until he (Khan) loses another fight.
Duran, for example, never fought a rematch with Hearns and neither did Tszyu with Philips, but I don't think it's a statistic that has ever dramatically altered the way that either are perceived.
Outside of hardcore boxing circles, I think that most people just accept that being knocked out is an occupational hazard for a pro boxer.
