    Nah. Maidana is a much better fighter than Judah at this point in time

    If Khan takes Judah lightly there'll be a second loss on his record.

    100% Agree!

    People forget how dangerous Zab is! Amir has trouble fighting on the inside and is prone to the uppercut! The problem for Amir is he had trouble stopping Maidana cutting the ring off image how he is going to be against a guy as good as Zab.

    Going to be a good fight.

    The first 3 or 4 rounds in particular should be very interesting. That's certainly where Judah will be at his most dangerous.

    I think it is going to be an explosive fight.

    With Freddie in the corner and the talk of Floyd I can't see them taking Zab lightly and if anything I can't see Zab being 100% focused for it what with him being 33 and his record and ranking falling by the way side over the last few years.

    My money is on a Khan win and the fight to last less than 7!

    this, I would like to see khan end his 140 career with a fight vs tim bradley, he can then chose to stay at 140 but I think he will chase floyd and move up to 147 in 2012. But the bradley fight should happen before he moves up.

    Bradley won't fight him apparently. Protecting his record!

    the thing with bradley was that he had promotional issues and wanted to get in the mix for a pac fight he thought fighting khan could damage this.
    However now with floyd back in the picture braldey isnt the frontrunner anymore for may 2012. it will be either marquez rematch of he wins or ortiz/floyd winner. That is the way it should be.
    Bradley should sign with toprank soon and then they should set him up vs khan, bradley needs to schedule a match quickly before he gets stripped.

    Judah has SPEED AND POWER. MAidana is just power hitting robot but also dangerous. Speed kills. What Khan showed against Mccloskey has me worried for this fight. A KO both ways can certainly happen.Judah has become a counter puncher with Pea being his coach. I am not sure he applies the same game plan here vs Khan.I reckon he'll definitely go for a knock out early. And Khan will throw down with Judah with damaging shots of his own and shut down the brooklyn native.He needs to he can't allow Judah to coast. Let's see whose game plan is better.

    MAB is not a win, anyone who considers that fight a win is a fool, that was boxing politics at its finest.

    on the subject of the thread, Judah or Maidana would be his top wins, Kotelnik gets overlooked but a very good win
