    It was a great performance by Khan. I'm always impressed by his lightning handspeed. He's had a load of haters but he has to get respect for fighting quality opposition and chasing the biggest fight in the division. I'm not too keen on him moving up to 147 just yet, but if a fight with Money is possible it's a win win situation for him.

    Might not be easy, remember how Khan wanted this fight to be Bradley, but Bradley ducked Khan, after that, who is there? Khan has beaten Kotelnik who exposed Bradley, Judah, Malignaggi, Maidana who beat Ortiz and Morales, Salita no longer has his undefeated record to sell.

    Now Bradley doesnt seem to have an opponent a fight between Khan and Bradley would make sense

    Impressed by Khan. Nailed the gameplan, remained calm, composed. Didn't rush in when he would have done in the past. There were plenty of times in the past were he would thrown shots from the wrong position, he didn't do that last night...he stopped himself, reset himself, then hit Judah when his feet were in the correct place. Looked fast and strong.

    Khans speed is just a nightmare for anybody he faces, I really expected for Judah to give him a real run for his money like Maidana did but it never happened. Southpaw with a longer reach, meant **** all when Khan is that fast.

    And his all round game is really beginning to improve as a whole. He seems to be getting better at everything. Particulary his defence.

    Ive given Khan a lot of **** for a while since Prescott but he has impressed the hell out of me lately, he deserves huge respect the way he stepped his game up after that crushing defeat.

    never liked kahn but that was a hellacious perfomance he gave last night... he was a whirlwind in there with lightning fast footwork and movement never mind the punching... judah looked scared of the speed and i don't blame him, it was frightening just watching it

    I didn't think he missed too many, made the ones that landed count. Whenever he backed Judah up with straight punches, Judah ducked down...nothing too much Khan could have done. Maybe he could have put a 2nd phase into his attack, pushed forward with his straight shots, took a little step back when Judah ducked, and possibly brought an uppercut into play.

    That wasn't really the gameplan though.

    exactly, he was disciplined even though with that speed he probably could have gotten away with some wildness and impatience

    good for him

    Definitely, his following a gameplan probably impressed me the most last night, I didn't think he was capable or experienced enough yet...but he's resembling Pacquiao in that department more and more lately. Good on Roach.
