Zab still isn't good enough to beat the top dogs at 140.

    he did get caught a few times by Mabuza and Matthysse and a guy like Khan will the accuracy to hit him more then these guys did. I think even Bradley could take him on. He's still a very good fighter, but not world class.

    I think he improved under Whitaker's guidance, but he's still going to have the same crappy chin and the low workrate. That interviewer is completely right, though, there was quite a bit of pernell in zab..

    If Zab has a crappy chin what does Khan have?

    I thought Khan proved in the Maidana fight that he was way more durable then what people thought.
    Anyway, Zab got rocked/knocked down in all of his fights recently, if nothing else its a sign of decline or punch resistence loss.
    Khan got hit consitently in his fight with Maidana, if Judah got hit with those shots he'd be a goner
    EDIT: with his last two fights recently

    Khan can never come close to the natural talents/skills/achievements and swagger of Zab Judah. The only thing Khan has over Zab is "Heart"

    Zab Judah, Former Undisputed Welterweight Champion of the World, Former 2 Time Junior Welterweight Champion of the World, and now the new IBF Junior Welterweight Champion of the World.

    Judah > Khan

    Matthysse and Mabuza can punch. Matthysse probably has more power than Maidana.

    And Khan is faster and throws better combos. Khan also takes a better shot.
    Keep in mind, Khan isn't really done with his career yet, and Zab has also been around longer, so he still has time to top Judah's achievements.

    Khan is faster in combination punching handspeed but doesn't have the pop in his punches. Zab is faster in slick style 1 punch power, footwork and body movement e.g. Dodging...

    Khan and Bradley would beat Judah. Despite the KO i dont think it was that impressive a fight at all from Zab.

    His speed defo is not there anymore.

    Matthysse is not only just as powerful as Maidana but also has better technique, defense, and boxing IQ.

    Matthysse is extremely dangerous and Zab beat him. I have no doubt Zab could hang with and beat Khan, especially when the fight gets close and Amir's lack of inside game becomes very apparent.

    Khan would make Zab play with matches again.

    BS. Zab's defensive movement was beautiful. He only got touched when he pulled straight back on the ropes with his chin in the air and hands down, but he rebounded excellently off of that and KO'd Mabuze the next round.
