    zab's chin isn't that great. I'm sure we dont have to bring up the tszyu fight. Khan is the kind of fighter that will REALLY frustrate zab, honestly. Boxing a boxer who has several physical advantages over you, is arguably just as fast, and is approaching his physical peak? Judah may have looked good last night against a dude who got starched by non rankers in his last couple of fights, that doesn't mean he will be able to eke out a victory over ANYONE with a strap at 140.

    I'd say he should take on maidana, guy is perfect for zab if he remembers not to do stupid **** like back up with his hands down again.

    I think Zab will be next up for Alexander. Its been touted already and his guys are willing to work with Don King.

    Either guy can win this fight, depending on what Judah shows up to fight. Roach will try to exploit Judah weakness which is his lack of decipline and foucus at times. If he suceeds with doing so, then Khan will outbox him. If Judah stays agressive and focus he will put the Brit on his back fast to sleep....lol.

    Judah destroys that glass-jawed joke. There's a reason Khan only fights hand-picked light hitters.

    Judah hasn't KO'd a quality opponent in 5 years. There's more to getting KO's than power.

    Look at the quality of fighters he's fought lately, their weights, and their durabilities, and tell me what bout Khan's chin/defense even remotely resembles them...


    Floyd - Got put on his ass in what should have been a KD
    Joshua Clottey - Who has actually hurt him more than Zab did?
    Miguel Cotto - Got rocked badly and had to lowblow his way to safety


    I think the point to consider is the difference in quality of opposition and their weights. And there is nothing about Khan's opposition that even comes close to approaching the quality and toughness of these fighters.

    Zab was able to penetrate Floyd's defense, and even hurt Clottey. What makes anyone think he won't get to Khan, who he holds a speed and power advantage over?

    If it goes the distance or past 6 round Khan. If it's an early stoppage.....it's 50/50

    Amir Khan uses the ring and reach to keep Judah in a distance, eventually Judah gets KO

    Khan is disciplined enough to win a UD or late TKO. Judah is a 3 round fighter. Judah's mind is 'too soft'.

    :lol:

    So Amir wins because he is taller and has a better reach? Are you suggesting that Zab wouldn't be able to even touch him?

    Zab is faster... has a better chin... and bangs harder.

    Of course he would tap Khan eventually.

    dont see whats funny

    Zab Judah is on the decline, while Amir Khan is up and coming and improving.

    Zab Judah usually looks good in the opening rounds and once he gets past 4 rounds he starts slowing down. (Clottey, Mayweather, Cotto, Baldo, Corley).

    Judah counter with his left uppercut would come if Khan rushes in, Khan and roach know themselves Khan doesnt have a good chin so thats why you havent seen Khan rushing in often, in his last couple of fights.

    You just see Judah perform well in his last fight and suddenly think he will land flush on anyones chin come on man the guy is 32 now.

    Exactly. People are so stupid sometimes. A guy loses and he becomes shot or old, then he wins and suddenly becomes this force to be reckoned with.

    You are making assumptions without reason...

    I didn't even see his fight last night. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that although he has suffered quite a few losses, I don't think Khan could have beat any one of the guys he lost to.

    And as far thinking he can land flush.... Zab (at 32 - 52) has enough power to hurt Khan without landing solid and flush. I don't think he would blow him out of the water or anything, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Khan can keep Zab off his ass for 6 rounds.

    I'm not saying anything definite, but I think Zab is fast and slick enough to be able to get to him. Relax, it's just an opinion.
