    Just read on Khan's page that this fight will not be happening due to Bradley not signing the contract.

    Khan has still secured July 23rd Slot to fight so who do you think he should fight?

    Judah makes sense.

    It will be Juddah for his belt. If he wins him and Bradley then really can have a unification without doubt.

    Would prefer to see Maidana 2 but as someone already said, that isnt happening

    Given that Khan seems dead set on belt collecting Judah makes sense.... but those silly twats at the IBF will make Mabuza mandatory to throw a spanner in the works where that's concerned.

    It just seems a fight with ''FAIL'' written all over it for me - if he wins he'll get next to no credit because Zab is obviously past it, and if he loses people will just :rofl

    Zab is overrated purely on giving Mayweather a few tricky rounds, but people forget that he was well on the way to being stopped in that one before the lowblow, was absolutely hammered by Cotto and quit like a wuss against Clottey. Since then he's had two year long breaks, got a gift against Matthysse before fighting the weakest ''champion'' available for a bauble.

    If the Bradley fight can't be made fight Maidana, otherwise just go straight to 147. Marquez has got both eyes on Pacquiao so that's a no-no. Not much point to the other potential matchups.

    I actually give Zab Judah a very very good chance if they fight.

    I agree!

    Before McCloskey i would of said its a walk in the park but after seeing Khan's display against a southpaw it would be a hard fight!

    I think Khan would win the decision but there will be a few knock downs on the way.

    I think Judah , Guerrero , Brook @47 (yeah like **** it will happen) then Maidana 2 in that order .

    I like the Judah fight simply because he is a world champion , as far as Khan's chances go against these men id honestly make him the favourite against every one of them , Khan Guerrero would IMO be a great fight !!!

    For sure , he has that solid counter left hand which he has 2 or 3 shots on that hand alone that can end a fight , his favourite being the uppercut , Khan does tend to lunge and Judah has superb timing .

    Will Judah fold from Khans workrate thats the question , he was starting to look slighty overwhelmed in the Mabuza fight at the time of the stoppage IMO , the guy just stops letting his hands go when the going gets tough , there is no plausible explanation for it !!!

    Its a good fight if Judah comes to fight :deal

    I think Khan would beat him but it's not a fight I'd be pursuing.

    There's fights out there with less/equal risk that would get him more credit for winning, and less ridicule for losing.

    If he's gonna go for Zab he may as well give Prescott a call, he'd be that far down on my list of preference.

    That's a decent summary, lets not build Zab up higher than he is right now. He had formidable tools once, but now he's a level below the top guys in 140, and picking up the IBF title hasn't prove otherwise.

    I'd say Judah first but would love to see how Khan looks at 147!

    Other than Khan and Bradley , Judah has a very good chance of beating the rest of the field @140 , that is in no way shape or form a B level fighter .

    Added to that you would have to expect Judah and Khan to make for a good fight stylistically , Judah would hit Khan there's no doubting it , and Khan is not exactly a puncher in the league of Cotto or Tszyu is he ?? , Bradley would take Judah's heart and beat him up 9 through 12 in a one sided UD IMO . Marquez also for me would be somewhat of an overwhelming favourite against Judah , but thats a given anyway

    But as for Alexander , Maidana , Guerrero , Peterson , Morales & Kotelnik , id like Judah among those caliber of fighter to put up a very competetive effort

    HBO should be smart. Do a double header Khan vs Judah with Bradley vs Maidana.

    The reason Bradley is refusing the fight is because he knows the fight is far more valuable and its being rushed. The same thing happend with the Alexander fight.

    Also he is being underpaid. He has a contract with HBO which says his next fight is for a minimum of x and a max of x so he knows he can make $1million in a routine defence. Why waste that option on Khan.

    Alexander would beat him. Guerrero too.

    Maidana is just the type of fighter that Judah doesn't like, he's just going to grind him down and take away his spirit. 5/6 rounds into a fight with Maidana, I doubt Zab would be looking happy. Maybe he could do it because Maidana is awful sloppy, but I don't know if Zab would have the appetite for 12 rounds of it. Maidana isn't really top level anyway, he's limited, but gets by at top level by being tough and relentless.

    Saying he would be competitive against Peterson and Morales, guys who are a level below the top guys, sort of proves my point.
