    In many cases, Khan is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Don't get me wrong, he looked great but we have to consider who he was up against which was an aging, mentally weak fighter.

    UK fans starving for someone to fill the void left by Ricky Hatton even fancy him to beat Mayweather. Lets not get ahead of ourselves, as far as im concerned his jaw his still made of glass even though it's a lot better then it once was which was grade A glass.

    That being said, what did you take away from King Khan's performance against Judas?

    It was a good performance, but I was more dissapointed with the way Judah fought or didn't fight. He just wouldn't let the Left hand go. I mean how else was he going to beat Khan?? I hope making him miss for 12 rounds wasn't the plan.

    khan did every thing he was supposed to do. Judah spoiled it but that wasnt khans fault.

    As far as his performance, he shows how good khan is on the outside and as of right now the ticket to beating him is pressure and getting on the inside as Maidana showed.

    If mayweather fought him, Id expect mayweather to be aggressive as he was with Shane and back up khan and get inside, its where he would have the biggest advantage.

    Looked good with how much poise he had. I want to see if he'll remain calm when educated pressure is applied onto him.:think

    Yeah I think Roach actually puts more pressure on him during pad work than Judah did.

    People are seriously overrating the performance, and this comes from arguably the biggest Khan fan on the board.

    He still goes off-balance, squares up when throwing combinations, just grabs inside instead of fighting at points, throws combinations without the thought of mind on whether they'll land - These are traits an Elite fighter should NOT have.

    147 will be a seriously hard division for him, imo, because at 140, all the guys have been smaller and haven't been able to get to him. At 147, the fighters are going to be just as big.

    The thing I'm expecting is, if Khan loses, the backlash will be terrible, because we're getting so many stupid threads like how Khan will beat Mayweather/Pac and how he's the best thing to come etc etc and all this ****. I don't see him even beating Bradley, to be honest.

    I might be sounding over-critical of my favourite fighter, but if he's to be called an Elite fighter and the next best thing, he has to fix these technicalities, otherwise he won't top it at the best of the best.

    What I was impressed with in the fight though, is that I saw improvement, and a fair deal of it compared to the McCloskey fight. I saw patience, I saw fients and I didn't see him forcing his punches as much and I didn't see him just chasing the opponent around the ring, like he did in the McCloskey fight. He was becoming very off-balance in that fight, but then again, McCloskey had decent movement at spots and was pretty damn illusive.

    I want to see him in with live fish, like Peterson or Guerrero or ideally, both.

    Nothing to do with being from the UK, apart from Pac, Khan is the only guy out there right now that can beat Floyd.

    Hattons come forward brawling style was perfect for PBF, I was surprised Hatton did as well as he did, never gave him a chance. Khan is a totally different story though, throw Floyd in the ring with him now and you give him the toughest night of his life.

    You've got it all wrong. Peterson? He's waaaay past that level. Khan will be much more effective at 147, don't know what makes you think otherwise.

    Not impressed, but confirmed that I was right about thah fight. I thought that it will be a mismatch so I wasnt surprised. I was more unimpressed by Judah who quit.

    Khan is a good fighter and is the most talented 140 pounder. He should fight Bradley and unify and then move up to challenge top WWs.

    I've not seen 1 person say he'd beat Mayweather, let alone UK fans as a collective thinking this.

    You trolling?

    I don't really think so. I think he beats him, but Peterson is still fairly game and a good test.

    If you notice, in Amir's past four fights on HBO, they've always mentioned how Amir is physically bigger than the opponent and how he uses that to his advantage. At 147, I don't see him having that advantage.

    He'll be effective, but will his skills compliment his size enough for him to be on par with the competition at 147? We'll see.
