20 fight contract - they taking the piss!!
Thing is there are a couple of fighters from this country, especially that Joe Murray from Manchester who he could of fought, but instead Frank Warren goes out and tries to pick boxers for him to fight and tonight it blew up in both of their faces.
That Murray came out and said that Khan isn't even the best fighter at that weight in Manchester.
Warren went on the advice of Khan's new trainer Jorge Rubio in classing Prescott as a viable opponent... I actually went to the show, and it was a decent bill, apart from the Harrison fight.
In my opinion Khan should never have been put in with a dangerous puncher for his first fight with a new trainer. The major weakness for Khan is his chin, and you can't improve on a weak chin as such, but you can improve on your defence and Amir Khan showed his lack of experience in that respect against Prescott, but he was also caught out against Limond and Gomez... I've said for a while that if Khan is put up against a dangerous puncher he will be knocked out, and despite there not being many name's to shout about on Prescott's record, a record of something like 17 KO's in 19 fight's prior to the Khan fight proved that he's a dangerous puncher if nothing else, but it also proved that there is a serious flaw in the make up of Khan, and it is a similar flaw to that suffered by Audley Harrison, they haven't showed that they can take a good shot very well, and that's a major flaw to have in boxing.
