    This is free money for Khan. It's going to be like the Malignaggi fight all over again. Excellent matchmaking by The Roach.

    They need to chase Bradley after that.

    Judah beat Khan? No way

    He will lose and face Alexander and get another decent payday, which is why he's still in the sport.
    Otherwise he must be deluded to think he can beat the best in the world.

    Take Khan or Bradley's mentality, implant it into Judah, you gotta hell of a fighter, take it away, you have a guy with a frail mentality who loses to an agricultural slow guy like Baldomir, and goes life and death with Matthysse.

    I dont think anybody here his denying that Zab is past his prime, but after watching Khan's performance against Maidana, It is easy to see that Khan is a sucker for an uppercut. We all know that Zab throws an excellent one, which is leagues beyond that of Maidana

    you make a valid point but those losses are against 147's. zab was never a 147 and one could make a case that his signature win at 147 against spinks was because of spinks no longer being able to make weight(he went directly to 154 after that fight and did well up until his alcholism caught up to him). Also, spinks had the stupidiest ring entrance in that fight(with nelly i believe) that took maybe ten minutes of ****ing african, zimwabe tribe-dancing energy-draining bull****. you tube it if you can. unbelievable.

    look at all of zab's fights at 140.

    different fighter.

    not everyone is paqman.

    Poor analysis, me thinks. Paulie's lack of pop afforded Khan license to come forward at will and think almost exclusively of his offense.

    Judah hits much harder than Mags. Hence, I sincerely doubt that Khan will be nearly as aggressive against a pretty good banger.

    I'd take a younger zab to pull it off but I just think Khan will have too much speed and timing and energy for Zab.

    Its weird I'm giving Judah a chance against Khan (even though i think Khan wins a UD or late stoppage) but i think Maidana would destroy Judah even though Khan beat Maidana.

    I guess triangle theories don't work for Boxing that's why.

    Exactly, Couple that with Khans "suspect" chin and his inability to get out the way of damn near every uppercut that Maidana threw, makes Zab a Live pitbull in this fight to say the least.

    Like someone said, a lot of people are thinking back to another Judah.

    Guys, Team Khan and Roach are excellent at picking respected but faded names. Judah is a decent name to have on your record, but today in 2011 he simply isn't relevant anymore. A younger, fresher in-form Khan will pick him off for a comfortable points win.
