    Zab is just as slippery as McCloskey but if Khan lunges in wide open like that vs Zab Judah, Zab has the speed and skills to make him pay with viscous uppercuts and straight lefts.

    Zab Judah TKO6.

    zab will fold under pressure, I dont see this happening though, I think if he beats bradley he will move up in weight, why risk it vs zab when that belt actually belongs to bradley.

    A while back, I pushed this same notion, too. But I was told to forget about it, because the sooner I stop putting faith in Judah to shine again, the best it would be.

    However, Khan still has the habit of over-reaching, lunging is full weight forward, and making them amateur baby-steps when chasing a retreating target. Zab may well be old, but he’s quick and savvy enough to catch him with a powerful counter left or uppercut. That’s enough to make it ‘night night :hi:’ for any fighter, let alone a chinny Khan.

    It’ll allow Khan to hold all 4 belts in a talent-rich division. It may very well be risky, but in my opinion, it’s an impressive claim to make when he looks back at his stint at 140. If he beats Bradders, I’d love to see him fight Zab. It’ll be a very intriguing fight.

    I agree you cannot put too much faith in Zab but I think he matches up stylistically well with Khan.

    I think any reasonably skilled fighter with decent power can spark Khan. But this is Zab Judah we're talking about. He'll find any way he can to lose.

    he is but McCloskey made him look poor at times he looked like a threshing lunging windmill - Khan almost a bit to eager to land his shots at times. Zab would be a good test for him im not sure if Khan would even be the faviourte to win the fight

    No way does a 2011 version of Zab Zudah beat Khan.... NO WAY. Judah is lucky to be holding a version of the world title. Zudah will be dangerous for 3 rounds if Khan get thru it he'll stop Judah late.

    They will probably strip him from a belt before he can completely unify.
    It would be impressive though, I think khan can beat judah, remember that judah looked impressive defensively but he didnt do much offense therefore he gave up rounds and was trailing on the cards before he knocked mabuza out. But he definitely has the power to hurt khan.
