    Naw bud, I'm with you, think Judah smokes Khan all day long. Judah is quick and smart and can take a shot, all things that will give Khan trouble

    Of what I have seen of Judah lately he looked hopeless, cooked... I think Khan would probably beat him unless his chin fails him.

    perfect fight, right time, khan has manny as sparring partner, and manny will be using him for the mayweather fight. Meanwhile, Floyd is looking for judah, as sparring for the pacquiao fight, which should prepare judah for khan's speed.
    That being said, if Judah lands one of his fast haymakers its lights out for little amir.

    Hang on a minute. Im a massive Khan fan, but under Roach he's fought Osin ***an, a shot to pieces, badly cut and way over weight Barrera, Kotelnik - who aint exactly the most dangerous fighter, and Salita, who had no busniess being in the ring and was out of the fight without even landing once. Defensively he's proved nothing. He'd have beaten them all, no problem, without ever having met Freddie Roach. He's a more cagy fighter under Roach, but we wont know anything about Khan's defense untill he's actually in a hard fight.

    Judah has looked pretty bad and unmotivated in his last few fights. His last fight was a coheadliner with casamayor against someone who had lost 19 times! Still he has wicked power, speed and is definitely a good step up. This is the kind of opposition he needs to be in against.

    And this would be a good fight to answer some of those questions

    Khan won't fight judah.....judah doesn't have a title....has gone off the radar a bit.....and he is high risk/low reward...If khan beats him, people will say zab is shot....If khan gets smoked, it could be a carear killer...not a good move by khan to fight zab....

    I agree, this is exactly what I thought when I heard of this fight. Khan's main advantage is his speed and his main weakness is his punch resistance...so Judah is risky with probably nearly as much speed (though generally in single shots) and the power to KO him with one or two punches. The only reason this makes sense is because Judah is still a name...but it's potentially a terrible matchup for Khan.

    On the other hand, if we view it from Judah's perspective, his punch resistance is not fantastic (but better than Khans) and his mental fortitude can be somewhat lacking...and I can see him getting demoralised quickly against Khan if he can't land the shot and there is a distinct possibility of a Khan TKO from accumulation.

    That said, I'd love to see this fight. It may not be the most relevant, but I'm a fan of boxing, not boxing politics, so I just want to see a fight that would be exciting.

    Yep.

    This would be a dangerous first four rounds for Khan.

    Say what you will about Zab's mental toughness or lack there of, but he is fast and he can bang; he's an extremely dangerous fighter in the first quarter of a contest.
