Amir Khan’s humiliating defeat against Breidis Prescott may have exposed what many British boxing fans have feared for a while – that is just short of world class.

The Bolton fighter was knocked out by the undefeated Columbian after just 54 seconds of their bout at the MEN Arena after walking into several big punches. Khan seemed to forget his game plan and rushed out of his corner and tried to go toe to toe with a man who is known as a knock-out boxer.

Even before the doctor had finished checking the Olympic Silver medallist over the jokes were already doing the rounds.

“Have you heard Amir’s put his chin on ebay? Problem is it’s so fragile you’ll have to pick it up!”

There is a phrase in boxing that you’re only as good as your last fight but it wasn’t just this, his first professional defeat, that has us all wondering about his World title credentials. Even as an amateur concerns about his ability to take a punch were raised when Craig Watson floored him. He got up after a very slow count, which was later timed at around 15 seconds. In his bout with Michael Gomez earlier in the year gaps in his defences were exposed where again he was knocked down early in the fight.

His promoter Frank Warren is very good at bringing his fighters back after defeats and you wouldn’t put it past the master matchmaker to later get Amir a fight against an easily beatable world champion so the 6/4 about him to win a major world title during his career could still be backable.
