Khan doesn't know what kind of challenge he has ahead.

    If not under the wing of Sweet Pea, I would of picked Khan, whos been impressive lately aside the McClosky fight whom was equally to blame for such a lame fight. Judah recentky looked great vs limited opposition, but once stepping up to the plate was brought back to earth, or the canvas literally. His pace, chin, and defense were the only things that needed tweaking thats been known for yrs and its almost as if Zab heard me and in a make or break fight vs Mabuza where many thought Judah was done he finally showed another part he was lacking to be a complete fighter. Zab will have to be patient, fight at his pace, and destroy Khan on the inside because Roach fighters cant fight on the inside. If Zab can counter Khan and uses angles, Whitaker style, he wins. He tries to box on the outside or go toe to toe, slight edge to Khan. Cant wait for this one.

    Zab has fought the best? Really? Maybe between him and Kell but certainly not between him, Mayweather and Morales. More importantly he lost most of the big name fighters he fought(Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, Tszyu, Baldomir, Spinks x1)
    If he is the most cosnsitent of his career I think it's from the level of comp more than anything

    Erik and Zab are the same age btw, difference is Morales is a warrior. Zab has lost a lot of speed as well

    If Zab doesn't get an early KO I see him getting dominated by Khans quicker hands

    Zab may have been beat by most of the prime elites he fought against but was still very competitive in most of those fights. Khan hasn't even been in the ring with one prime elite fighter let alone beat one. So how can he be so favored to beat Zab and all the others already? Maidana is his only really big win. While that's a good start that points to a bigger future, everyone is still only relying on hope, hope that he really is the real thing.

    There's sure a few challenges amongst that lot. I have a huge respect for Khan but I think Judah might give him more grief than he is anticipating.

    dont over look judah kahn, i know you sparr with the bet south paw but judah is a different kind of animal. i think judah will do well for him self the 1t half of the fight, the other half ... well judging by is past we all know what will happen. but if you like me and buy into the whole moving down to 140, his long time mentor now trainer whitaker and his new devotion god and boxing. i think he has a chance if he can keep his mental together. im still picking kahn to win after all that i sayed but ill be rooting for super zab all night.
